It was a lively concert by Srinivas.
Happy to see Sunderrajan back.
Karaharapriya was very good.
But balahamsa was the most enjoyable.
Thani was pretty good. Udupa stole the thunder.

Ranjanimalavi,
Thanks for your concise reviews. Keep them coming, so that we get a whiff of all the music which is going on at the Unnati Festival!
Thanks to the organizers too, for letting us listen to snippets of the concert. Hope there will be one of Srinivas's too. The balahamsa, perhaps?!
