Cataract! Hope it was easy & chittappa & athai are both doing fine now. When was it? My orpadi Vasantha manni had hers yesterday & I went & saw her today. She looked "cooool" with the dark glasses!

My concert at Chembur went off well - thank God! Rajiv on the mridangam & Harish on the harmonium, Nachiket on the tabla, & Aishwarya doing the ching-chak & refrains were real darlings, which made me so comfortable, I could sing freely & relaxed. I felt really satisfied after a pgm in a long while!

Will be back in Madras on Friday night.
