Impressions:

1. Neraval/Swaras at #1 song set the concert pace which was sustained all the way to the end.

2. Neraval helped me discover the special link this song has with Etavunnara.

3. #3 is a great seldom heard composition. There was a torrent of briga sangatis @ sama gana nipuney with an amazing variety.

4. Swaras for subhapantuvarali demonstrated creativity woven around some simple patterns which the entire team fed off of. Something like "ss',n,, sn,d,, sati mata"

5. #7 was one of those ragamalikas with the raga names embedded. Not a big fan of those but she sang the sequence of ragas in closing with the name of the raga that made it stand out.

6. #8 tuned by TSK. Enough said
