Not being constrained by a time slot, I sang as full a concert as I have in a very long time last night at the residence of Mr. Nageswaran, a die-hard fan of both Carnatic and Hindustani music. Nageswaran Mama announced at the beginning that it would be a "3+ hours concert" and made a request for an RTP in Durga. I had already been told of his affinity towards Hindustani ragams so I did my best to give the RTP itself a Hindustani feel, by including a tharana during the tanam, and to include a couple more Hindustani ragams in the concert.

Enjoyed the intimate space with just a few dozen people in the audience, not just consisting of rasikas but several musicians as well. A big thanks to my accompanying artists... B Ananthakrishnan is well versed in Hindustani music himself and often inspires me to try new things. And I appreciate Arjun Ganesh's versatility, which provides me the support I need no matter what kind of song or genre I sing! And thanks to Mr. Nageswaran for having been very eager to have our concert in his house.
