Best wishes to you and your family for a successful commemoration of your father, Mohan. I'm in Singapore and unable to make it, unfortunately, but look forward to any recordings you may be able to share. Great choice of artistes covering the young to experienced, the HM and CM, the vocal and instrumental.

Dear Rasikas

Please note that if you are looking at Google Maps, Yamuna Street is indicated as "maruthu pandiyar street". I am not sure why, but on the street itself you see "Yamuna Street".

From Kumaran street (which is an extension of Tiger Varadachariar Road) turn right on to Cauvery street, then turn left once and turn right again on to Yamuna Street.

Regards
Mohan,

Another hint... It is a very small st. If coming by car, park in the previous st, which is wide and usually has free space

Dear Mohan
I will miss the series of concerts but my thoughts are with you and your family members.
Please accept my compliments for the wonderful tribute you have arranged in memory of your father, a most wonderful rasika.

Dear Rasikas
This event was a great success; it far exceeded my expectations.
I will leave it to one of the attendees to fill in details.
Each and every concert was outstanding and of the highest quality.
I will post pictures and audios (after clearance from the artistes) ASAP.
Regards
Kamalamba

Mohan...congratulations...I am sure that Balu mama (your dad) was up there enjoying everything....if there was anything he seemed to have enjoyed more than music, it was his family, and meeting people, so, this event you organized would have satisfied him on all three counts.

Happy to know that the event was a great success. I met Balu uncle in banglore years back. His love for music was inspiring. He will be in our memories forever.

Kamalamaba, very glad to hear that the programme went off well. Your father must have been watching from wherever he is. Wherever there is good music, he is sure to be there.
