The festival starts today. Due to some personal commitments, I am not sure if I will be able to make to all the programmes. I saw Aishwarya's programme on TTD Naada neerajanam and wanted to listen to her live. Also, no need to tell about NSG's daughter. Let us see how I can manage. Also, I am told that heavy preparation is on for the dance programme on Sunday. Although not a great personal fan of dance, I have come out satisfied when a group of young artists perform. (It is not too interesting to watch not-so-young solo performances )

I saw some good photos and brief writeup of the festival in their website http://nadasurabhi.org
