+ everything (almost, except one thing) was scintillating throughout no titillating business here
+ sweet voice that goes up sans effort, but not cloyingly sweet
- for a grand keervani rAga followed by a promising pallvai, anupallavi and the rest weren't measuring up to that grandeur (I meant the lyrics, not what she sang) so marred the beauty overall
- not much takers for such great music hardly 40 - 50 folks
