It brought back some memories to me too. I could not get Google to post it as a comment. You are welcome to do so if you want to.<br />I was in Thiruvanthapuram for 6/months in 1988 and had a radio which despite my best efforts<br />would not tune in to anything except the local AIR station. It mainly broadcast in Malayalam and as I didn’t know any its “company “ to me was limited. I went to all sorts of events<br />including becoming a member of the Swati Tirunal Sangeet Sabha where lesser known musicians<br />played to a small audience. The hall wasn’t air conditioned and at times the electric supply<br />failed but the musicians gamely sang or played on. I acquired a taste for Carnatic music as a<br />result. Once for a whole month there was a festival with dance, music and drama . I had the<br />great privilege of hearing the incomparable M S Subbalakskmi sing. I also saw Alarmel Valli<br />dance and heard Parveena Sultana sing.Sublime! But even with a 6 day work week I was lonely in the evenings... It left me a lifelong opponent of solitary confinement..... <br />love <br />Bindu <br />ramanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003200255753137550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002669076956907035.post-12835511956699997762021-07-15T18:13:47.145+05:302021-07-15T18:13:47.145+05:30Thank you Ramani, for taking me with you into that...Thank you Ramani, for taking me with you into that room with a radio - it is now a room with a view on why you do what you do.<br /><br />VibhaDeathEndsFunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281407509531894876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002669076956907035.post-16419350742307785312021-07-15T12:23:30.595+05:302021-07-15T12:23:30.595+05:30Good.
