Post Show Nostalgia

Narayan and I chatted with singer Mathangi(ex Star Vijay hostess) at the ISB cafe for close to an hour. The current crop of celebrities are very approachable and friendly. She did most of the taking as we listened.

Keith Peters played some lead pieces on the bass. Hows that for mastery! Amit Heri did his jig with the lead guitar . The duo scaled new heights and left me awestruck.Mathangi sang the carnatic alapanais beautifully and I loved the Yaman Kalyani piece.

Its been 4 years since I wrote a line here. 2020 has been mostly peeping out of my window in Bangalore and nothing much!  I feel the urge to change- shake it up a lot these days. The mind tells me I haven't found what I am looking for... Discovered Chris Martin and Cold play :-) Yaay! Feels like the real life starts after 40. The optimism and adventure of younger days  have given way to accepting life's realities
