TK Rangachari Centenary Celebrations

[Gamakam]

I was surprised that such a grand even was not publicised in this forum.

Arunn (my friend) and I wrote our thoughts on the function: http://carnaticmusicreview.wordpress.co ... 04/100-th/

That's a hilarious report, Gamakam
Harimau-esque, almost.

I hope the artists and committees do justice atleast hereafterwards, when they perform/conduct such functions.

Hidden in the beautifully written article on the centenary celebrations are explosive review comments on a "star". (Sruti goof up, 'bale' for a poor timing by the violin, and random kalapramanam) The views and the lovely tamizh prose used to epress that are both superlative. Thanks Gamakam & Arun N

Why is this gem of a review embedded secretly inside a wider article? Why is there a hesitation to name the name?
Hope you don't have any long term deals with THE HINDU that might get jeopardized:)

Do I also see a dig on our famour Rasikas (அன்றாடம் இணையபிரபலங்கள், “ஹலோ, நான் இங்கத்தான் இருக்கிறேன், மறந்துடாதீங்க, நானும் பிரபலம்தான், இதோ என் கருத்து, கேட்டுக்கோங்கோ, என்ன ஒன்னும் சொல்லமாட்டேங்கறீங்க, இப்படி என்னையவே எதிர்வினையும் போட்டுக்கிட வைக்கிறீங்களே…” என்று அலட்டுவதை நாம் பொறுப்பதில்லையா. அதன் ஒரு வகைதான் மேற்படி பாடகரின் அநேக ‘படைப்பூக்க புதுமைகளும்’. உபாசனை கூட்டம் ஒன்று தலையை ஆட்டிக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்). I'll not name the names!

dhanurasi: I do not ahve any deal with The Hindu. However, Arunn (the other author) was asked to write in The Hindu and his first article for the season is here: http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/che ... epage=true . I'm not sure if the invitation was based on this report that we put up
