Shock !

Balamurali , my music class collegue called me a few times this morning. A few missed calls later i picked up the phone . My music guru Shri Reji George expired yesterday night. I spoke to him last saturday morning. May his soul rest in peace. The student in me still longs for all those golden words of musical advice he gave and promised !
I am yet to recover , this has been a really forgettable week in my life .Somehow death is one event which brings everyone back to ground, reminds us that all that's created has to be destroyed eventually.

Really very sorry about the loss in ur life! Pray those survived by reclaim from this tragedy. And talking about the end of everything that is created is a puzzle. It has to end...whether good or bad..natural or forced..pre-destined or a mis-fit? wonder why? so do I... Life flips faster than a blink! keep the faith

Yes, Reji George was a great Musician and Guru. I wonder, whether I can find another sincere Guru like him. He was so full of knowledge but fate played a very bad game. My daughter was under his guidance for the past 5 years. She is so upset. He was a woderful person with full of affection, made every child feel so special. He had helped me a lot with music compositions for my dance too. May his soul rest in peace. May god give strength to his wife and child to overcome the shock.

The highlights of the concert were the 'Thodi' kirthanai ,the meera bhajan and the tukaram abhang in that order. I thought the crowd lacked discipline , quite few cell phones ringing and people leaving the concert before the mangalam piece. My dad told me about the mylapore 'mess'(mess= restaurant) culture. We went to Mylai mess that was opposite to the B.V.B hall for dinner. The place has hardly been renovated and maintains its old legacy even today. The menu card is also very typical of the Madras tiffin culture . I had Badam halwa , Kichadi and podi dosai for dinner. As usual I must elate... it was Yummm!!! Not the most cleanest place but yes i felt the place has preserved its soul :-).The

Covid 19 and Work from Home

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
