Which are the names which would not surprise you and why are names you mentioned surprising you ?

Ok, I wasn't surprised at all about names like Pappu, TNS, Ravikiran, Sashikiran, Nagai Sriram, Tiruvarur Vaidyanathan, Raja Rao. Not coming to say that they are guilty as thankfully I was not directly affected by them or by their actions and I dont have any personal bad experience from these people, to make it sound authentic, but there has already been too much smoke about allegations against these names from a lot of people from my close quarters.

On the names that did surprise me, like OST & Easwaran,it was only on the grounds that there has always been a "Gentlemanly" image about them in the circles. Not that am passing any opinion about them either, as neither did I experience anything bad from them nor have I heard anything bad about them too. But then, always, there is no smoke without fire.

Just to give a brief about my background, keeping my anonymity, I have indeed hosted quite a few musicians in the 2 decades (1985-2005) that I have lived in the US, though am not an organizer of concerts or anything. One of the musicians named in the #MeToo list was once touring the US and we did get to host him for a couple of days, before he was on his way to the next concert. And he did turn out to be extremely warm and host-friendly that time. Maybe he was just starting out in his career that time.

Though luckily we never had any bad experiences hosting any musicians (If demands for taking them around the city, courtesy of not offering to pay for Telephone calls to India are considered excuseable in this context-- Mind you Telephone calls costed a Bomb during the non- internet, non-whatsapp days--- Not that we would have accepted if they paid for the calls, its just a matter of courtesy if you get what am trying to say), we must mention that there were indeed some gems whom we were lucky enough to host like Vellore Ramabhadran, M Chandrasekhar, Flute Ramani, Trivandrum Venkatraman.

The takeaway, atleast from my personal experience is that the behavior of the majority of the Musicians leave an hell lot to be desired and there were indeed few wonderful musicians whom we hosted.

OST alleged to have misbehaved with a female while working in Annamalai University and one famous percussionist confided that ,that is the reason behind his name being not taken up for SK.
Last year I had put up a thread regarding mafia in CM and if you read carefully you will find the kingpin who is one in this group.

The problem is that we tend to treat them as gods/superhuman ! They are human beings after all like any of us and some stray .....

I guess he was also on the #MeToo list. Or was he not?

What about Sabha secretaries / concert organizers / sponsors / Sabha officials - I am sure they too are not above board and they should be resorting to mischief in all plausible ways 🤔
