I am assuming it is our VGV (V Govindan), Who is R Ramachandran? Congrats to both

eesha · Post by **eesha** » 11 Feb 2011, 10:40

Sri R.Ramachandran is one of the pioneers in uploading to sangeethapriya. He brought out and uploaded some gem concerts held at Jamshedpur in those days. His uploads are available from http://sangeethapriya.org/down.shtml

Shri VG:

Many such awards are due to you.

Congratulations and best wishes to Sri.Govindan and Sri. Ramachandran. I have benefitted from Govindan's blogs/web site on Carnatic music and from Ramachandran's uploads of carnatic concerts.

It is an august function honouring our Rasika members and all our Chennai membership should try to attend and donate whatever they can to promote the Sangeetha Priya services to CM.

Congratulations to all the awardees..

Very happy to see the pictures of VG, Eesha and their sahadharmiNis. What a lovely pair the mini-Saraswatis make! What did they sing?
Who are all on stage? Which one is TVG?

T.V.GOPALAKRISHNAN · Post by **T.V.GOPALAKRISHNAN** » 27 Feb 2011, 18:40

Sri VG was with his sahadharmiNi but not Eesha (Sri Sridharan). Next to him was the compere but I do not know her name. Perhaps Eesha may post the information, when he sign-in. I only took the photos and upuloaded to picasa. Hence you cannot find my photo.
Regards,
TVG.

There do not seem to be many in the audience. I wish I had gone --- but wishing after the event doesn't help :$

The compere's name is Sivapriya. She is not related to me in any way.

Nick is correct. The hall was perhaps half full. Considering the reponse during previous award functions, we expected a larger audience. I was told there were too many events on that day and that could have been the reason. Few others felt, Tatvalok is not as accessible as venues such as Ragasudha hall or Sastri hall. Perhaps rasikas can give their views on what they expect in the event (agenda/venue etc) that will be compelling for them to attend.

The audio of the award function is available at:
http://www.sangeethapriya.org/award/2010/

The recording of the concert will be uploaded soon.

Mods: Can this be combined with the other thread "Rasikapriya 2010 award function " ?? This was Rasikapriya 2010 award function , NOT, Rasikapriya 2011 award function.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 27 Feb 2011, 21:35

So nice to hear from you TVG and eesha. I 'm sorry I made that mistake about the compere.
I did meet eesha at the Rasikas. org meet (I left at tea break) but I have not met TVG. Hopefully in the coming season I can say thanks for bringing to us such good music.

eesha: The audio link does not work. It takes you to the login page at sangeethapriya but beyond that it doe not move.

Congratulations to all the awardees! Thanks to Sri TVG for the pictures that enable us to put faces to names - and I finally got to see pictures of Sri Govindan who is otherwise so self-effacing.

Thank you! I may be able to recognize him the next time I see him.

venkatakailasam · Post by **venkatakailasam** » 28 Feb 2011, 17:19

Clearer image of Shri TVG: TVG with his wife -having glasses and Vibhuthi on his forehead!! The lady with Green Saree with red border is his sahadarmini It may be of interest to many to know that Shri TVG is is the Sister's son of Shri GN Balasubramaniam!

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 28 Feb 2011, 19:04

Thank you, VKailasam!
I see the family resemblance too.

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 28 Feb 2011, 23:32

Pl note that Shri TVG is an octogenarian with an amazing dedication for CM (?herditary) and who shares non-commercial CM recordings (audio and video (always with the permission of the artistes) ) for those of us abroad who are eternally grateful to him..

Standing behind TVG in that picture (light blue shirt with finger pointing) is Rajagopalan (Srini) whose built-up Sangeetapriya, a dedicated CM enthusiast who is a pioneer in the endeavour of propagating CM globally.

Hats off to these dedicated CM enthusiasts and their service to global propagation of CM...

"Shri TVG is an octogenarian "

Sorry about that Vkailasam, I thought I read somewhere about his Satabhishekam.. It must be his Shashtyabdaputhi..

venkatakailasam · Post by **venkatakailasam** » 01 Mar 2011, 16:04

"Sorry about that Vkailasam"

Sorry about what? That he is only 65???

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 01 Mar 2011, 20:17

Sorry for you that he is 11 years younger than you

venkatakailasam · Post by **venkatakailasam** » 01 Mar 2011, 20:30

I like this place.

it's one of the few where I am not the oldest.

(in fact many where rasikas before I was even born

)

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 01 Mar 2011, 21:55

Vkailasam
Doesn't TVG get eleven extra years over you which makes me feel sorry for you!
At the same time I feel sorry for myself

Of course I am very happy for Nick!

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 01 Mar 2011, 23:22

Nick,
Now, don't act as if you're a spring chicken! You will soon catch up with us. Yet, won't we be advancing in our age too

which means you can't keep up with us

There is that Alice-in-Wonderland thing about having to run twice as fast just to stay in the same place!

And should I remind you of the cartoon in which a man sitting on horse back is holding a stick with a string a the end with a carrot dangling just beyond the reach of the horse which is trying to reach it

"Doesn't TVG get eleven extra years over you"
