Sir, I shall meet you and inform you on the time. Is this a personal meeting or BLR Rasikas Meet? My self and RSachi tried to organize the meet twice in the past, unsuccessfully due to the lack of responses from BLR forumites.

SN Sir, Let us meet on the day and time convenient to you, as the meeting will be at your residence. All the other rasikas can also join in this non formal and open meeting. A formal Bengaluru Rasikas Meet is not being accepted, the reality.

Re: BANGALURU RASIKAS MEET ON 25.06.2016
Dr. S.Nageswaran’s (SN) call for rasikas meet drew RSachi (RS) and me to his hospitable home.
RS kept the meeting ticking pulsatingly with his fluent contribution to almost anything under the sun, be it music, mythology, history, spirituality, horticulture, venture capital or health.
He led the discussion by pointing out to the passion of SN for gardening. SN took us round the spacious and convenient flat atop the skyscraper, and showed each balcony being made into a mini Lal Bagh.
RS also mentioned how SN has been an ardent patron of CM, having invited many artists to perform in his house (home rather), and sharing with several of them the precious recordings to aid in their learning.
We were joined by SN's first son, Balaji, his wife and two young daughters who have been top notch in the way they conducted themselves. The young girls were called upon to sing. They obliged readily and beautifully. They sang Sriranjani, Thodi, Hindolam and Mohana Kalyani. RS remarked that their teacher must be singing for dance as many items were dance items. He was forthright in giving them advice on improving upon their practice. He mentioned how Ri in Mohana Kalyani should be sung, that being a jiva swara. The girls were in for some surprise. RS quizzed them what the favourite raga of their grandfather was. Not having read rasikas.org posts, nor expecting a quiz, they had to be helped on with clues.
Balaji brought three what looked like some children’s toy pipe. It was then revealed that it is called kazoo and that by vocalising through it, a nagaswaram like effect can be worked out. Father and daughters demonstrated it. Balaji appears to be a chip of the old block, with music written into his DNA. RS was busy on his mobile. I thought he was recording. He lifted his head and announced, ‘I have ordered a kazoo on Amazon’. It was amazing. He believes that if something has to be done it has to be done immediately, a philosophy different from what I have been used to, ‘If something cannot wait, it is not important.’
Lunch followed. RS had to regale us even while eating. He narrated a joke (anecdote). Hitchcock met Shaw who was a vegetarian. He remarked, ‘You seem to suggest that Britain is under famine.’ Shaw retorted, ‘You seem to suggest its cause.’ The topicality of the joke can be appreciated when you look at my picture.
We parted after about three hours of an interesting meeting. As we were in the lift, RS said in admiration, ‘It is a well meshed family. Rarely, you find three generations converging in one genre of music seamlessly.’ That was the secret of why the meeting was special even if modest in attendance.

Sri Chellappa, from Kazoo to that hot tamarind chutney/gojju to meeting with you (a man of impeccable tastes) and being elevated by the atmosphere in Sri Nageswaran's beautiful home by 3 lovely generations and finally feasting upon the sights of Bangalore from the 17th floor in their East, North and West Balconies.. What a lovely Sunday morning!

When Alfred Hitchcock paid a visit to Bernard Shaw, he remarked, seeing the extremely thin appearance of the vegetarian, Shaw, " Sir, one look at you and we would know that there is a famine in England". Shaw reparteed, " And one look at you, sir, and we would know the cause for it."

I echo your sentiments, but being bothered by loose ends, need to ask you about ragam durga in the background. I could not find any reference to this in the minutes of the meeting!
It is not quantity but quality that matters and three rasikas of quality is a very good achievement. An anecdote or a raga alapana needs just one listener (but that one is essential) and so there were adequate numbers to justify the event. Congratulations and best wishes.

About the audience, an anecdote of Kanchi swamikal comes to mind. He told a purohit to give discourse in a temple on Gita. He obeyed, but complained that only a handful attended his discourse. Swamikal said, 'You are very lucky. Krishna had just one person in the audience.'

Mr. Narayan, among his many madnesses, Mr. NAGESWARAN places his love for the raga Durga at the top. He has posted several recordings, in Rasikas.org, of Raga Durga performed at his request by several great artistes. You will find a full Durga RTP that Sandeep Narayan sang at SN's house last year. It is on Sangeethapriya.
Let me try and give a link:

Nice. More like a madhyalay drut bandish than a pallavi.Rsachi wrote:You will find a full Durga RTP that Sandeep Narayan sang at SN's house last year. It is on Sangeethapriya.
http://www.sangeethamshare.org/tvg/UPLO ... p_Narayan/#
So the inside story line regarding Raag Durga is also explained quite satisfactorily.

Dear Rasikas,
Now it is very well established that I am very much fascinated by the "RAGA DURGA" to the extent of requesting many musicians
to sing this raga whenever I arrange music at my home.I have even gone to the extent of Mr.Warren Sanders sing this raga at
our Rasika Uday Shankar at his home.
