In America

The humility with which Navneeth performed and spoke won over my heart instantly.  He started off with "Sripadham vidarnna saraseeruhathil". And continued to bring to light exquisite gems from the classical era of malayalam film music, carnatic music, hindi, bengali etc.  He delved into the details of the brilliance of the compositions. Not a lot of it registered for me. What registered was the grandeur of the songs.  It was a lovely evening and was well worth the three hours drive up from Tracy. It is thanks to the Music India Foundation's initiative that I actually got to experience the performance of Naveeth Unnikrishnan.  Ravi Menon has a passion for encouraging the music loving community, and yesterday evening was a wonderful manifestation of a lot of behind the scenes work, thanks to the entire team who worked behind this.

 I was deeply immersed in work. Exception stack traces were swimming around my head, and I was trying to hold the head at the right spot for the solution to surface in focus. That is when I saw a black object flying outside the window,  I looked out and saw the blue trash can also fly and fall into the ground..  I rushed downstairs. Ramshi slid her car windows down and gave me a packet with chicken curry and chemmeen curry and said.. " please keep the trash cans up..  in a bit of rush, have to pay the speeding ticket.."
