A wonderful concert with each song being a gem. The camaraderie and appreciation for one another among all the artistes was also nice to see.

Rajani,
Wish I had been there...

kandan, karuNai puriyum 'vaDi' vEl, isn't it?

[Rajani]

Yes, Arasi. I have corrected it. Interesting, RK announced every raga and song (after the songs, so many could continue their guessing game, he said), but he did not say anything about the last two.
