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!

You might have seen ads in the papers about 5000 musicians getting together under Sri Sri RaviShankar's Art of Living on Jan 30, 2010 at Perungalathur, Chennai. A set of songs sung by Chinmaya Sisters is up at www.naadhavaibhavam.in. The participants have to practise these and show up for a rehearsal on Jan 29. I think this website is accessible to all.

Wishes and updates
Belated birthday wishes to Prashanth and Bhuvana Perimma.
I think this is my first post since Diwali. Hope everybody had a great diwali, we definitely did :) I tried making a different sweet this time (apart from the usual suspect - Gulab Jamun). Made chocolate walnut burfi from one of Sanjeev Kapoor's books. The dish itself is not as fancy as its name though. Finally, it turned out to be layered theratti paal (phew after all that effort)!!. Chocolate flavoured theratti paal wedged in-between 2 layers of plain theratti paal, topped with chocolate!!! Well, anything chocolate definitely tastes good. So, yes it was real yumm.
Otherwise, just the normal routine with Vaishnavi falling sick every 3-4 weeks!!

FROM RAMAKRISHNAN
The famous movie RamaRajya came in the 1940s and had a song by Latha "Bina Madhura Madhura Kachibo". Madurai Mani heard this and asked a friend-composer to write a song in the same tune and thus was born the popular song KANDAN KARUNAI PURIYUM VADIVEL in Bimplas. I read this in Amudha Surabhi magazine.

1. Happy birthday, Karthik. Many happy returns of the day.
2. Very nice to know the Diwali eve was celebrated well in Brindavan. I am able to imagine how it would have been, as I was there recently. A very nice group of people, always active .
3. A joke from the first stage play of Kathadi Ramurthy, " Matchless Matches".
A man borrows Rs.50 from a friend on a Wednesday, promising to return on Saturday. On Saturday, he borrows Rs.50 from another friend promising to return on Wednesday, and gives it to the first friend. Again, on Wed., he borrows Rs.50 from the first friend and gives it to the second friend. This goes on for sometime. Suddenly, he stops paying both his friends. One day both the friends catch him and ask their Rs.50. This man tells them," see, I am busy these days. So, do not trouble me. Every Wednesday you give him Rs.50 and you ( the second friend) give him Rs.50, every Saturday".
I used to play the roll of Mr.Wednesday.

Singing duo
This is a rather late post.
On Deepavali-eve, there was a variety enertainment programme at Brindavan Palm Grove. For more than an hour, residents and some of their guests sang, film songs in all languages. Rukku and Jayaraman presented the "Meera" song, "Characharam". They had practised for a few days, but were still nervous. They had no need to, for it was really a good effort and was well and widely appreciated. A "therukoothu" by two resident-ladies evoked loud applause.
It was a jolly evening in Brindavan and the large gathering enjoyed it, despite early rain and continuing threat of rain, which made a planned buffet on the lawns move inside.

No one can forget Anu's wedding at Thirupathy. The trip was really an adventure . We were in Hyderabad then. I had booked a train ticket to Chennai, for the marriage. But I wanted to cancel the trip as trains were running late due to heavy downpour. Ashok forced me to go and made sure I boarded the train by sending escorts to the station.
2. A joke from Times of India:

John: Because of the sign board outside.
