There is lot to write about our R. ramkumar(id in rasikas is ram). Being a disciple of UKS will suffice to say,about his mrudangam. He is one musician whose heart is with the mrudangam though he has to have a living in an IT company. He has a very nice blogwith schedules that always rocks. His reviews were stunning till he decided to stop writing them when he became a performing vidwan. A very nice guy to meet and talk with him. Perhaps the other disciples of UKS like erode and semmu86 can write more .
His schedule for this 2009 kutcheri season is in the thread

Ram, Ram!
My heart goes out to you, your mother, brother, your wife Deepa and all the rest of the family. I always look forward to seeing them in Chennai somewhere after one of your concerts. Can't still believe it...
May God give you all the strength to bear with this undeserved cluster of grief...
