Managed to watch excerpts from Vinay Sharva's program today.
Pretty decent - todi kaddanu vaariki main. Lot of improvement from the last time I heard this youngster - but still needs to work on making his music more "rounded".
i would advise him to listen to more of the greats.

Kudos to all Winners, Participants and the organizers.

NCB and Apoorva really deserve the award for their excellent performance.

NCB stands out as an accompanist, no two thoughts about that.

Thank you
