Happy New Year

New Year Greetings to one and all!

An entire decade behind us! It seems that the Y2K hullabulloo happened just the other day! As Ramu C has said, let us pray that while Kali marches on, we are able to keep our heads and hearts firmly in place, and remain untouched by it, our spiritual moorings protecting us at all times and at all places.

I could attend quite a few concerts during the second half of December. Now there is only one more week to go for my own concert, so planning to stop going out & practise well. Hope I do a decent job!

VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011

A very happy new year 2011 to everyone.
It is our wish and prayers that all should have good health, peace, happiness and prosperity in 2011.
Above all, God should give all of us the mental streangth to bear what is in store from politicians and Nature!

Sorry chittappa, believe it or not, I did not notice that Ramya-Anuj's Anniversary was missing in the list!

It has been a week sinsce I opened psc blog. The last week was really hectic as I took full advantage of Sakatapuram Periava's presence just round the corner and went for darshan as much as possible. Plus threw in a few concerts, writing for Sruti and my own practise too!
Not to forget that my machinar and orpadi were here too.

From tomorrow for three days Music Forum is hosting a series of lec-dems at TAG centre and Ramnarayan has deputed me to cover all of them for Sruti. So, again my notes-taking spree!

So let me wish PSC FAMILY a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! Unbelievable a decade has zipped by since all the hullabulloo about Y2K!
