Nice to know Vittal Rangan's accompanying Smt Neela Ramgopal again. It was great to listen to him accompany Mami at Indian Heritage Academy Hall this April.

It's astounding to know that MSG is only Padmashri!

[kssr]

Srikant- Will you be around during the programme?

[squims]

Great line up! Will try to be there for all of them, unless Bangalore's infamous rains play spoilsport on me (like they did today)!

[arasi]

Squims,
Haven't had any reviews from you of late. Go to the concerts and bring home to us at least a few--rain or shine

[squims]

Haha hello Arasi ma'am! How're you doing? I know it's been a long time since I've written a report! Will try to do my best this season!
