Does Members' Day one of the members will sing

[V.Mahalingam]

Thank you Mr. V.K. Raman.
Not one but all the talented members, their wife, children and grand children. By giving a stage to them we encourage their talents and this will instill confidence in them. Last year the response was so heavy that the programme went up to 10.30 P.M. (6 to 10.30.P.M.) we also give them some memento, of course connected with carnatic Music. This we have been doing for the last 4 years. We find the response encouraging. Bhairavi is bent upon developing Carnatic Music in Pondicherry in some way or other.

Great idea. The children grow up in this community, preparing for this annual event as musicians and as rasikas. The best part of it is that each one that participates gets a momento, not as if he or she is in a competition. What a nice way to cultivate a tradition of singing, playing an instrument or just listening!

[VK RAMAN]

I believe this is a good way for the community to encourage the talents in the community and I hope it is supported by the community artists too.

[V.Mahalingam]

The very word competition will generate fear in some young talents and they may not participate. So we purposely avoided Competition. We are planning to conduct a open to all competition (School and College lever) in Carnatic music in the month of January 2011. We need your blessings and prayers for the success.

You should come. Last year we had a German participant - a flutist!

Please do join!

And last year, the 'Participation Certificates' were handed over by Mandolin U. Srinivas. He was kind enough to add his signature on all Certificates. He also spent some time talking to the participants and answering their queries; he was very friendly and the youngsters were very happy.
