We were honored to have the 2013 Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardees Hyderabad Brothers Sri Raghavachari and Sri Seshachari in the audience to bless us. They were felicitated during our concert for their great achievement. Being two of my biggest influences, and having known them since I was a kid, it was especially nice to see them yesterday. Incidentally, Sri Seshachari was instrumental in giving me my first concert in Hyderabad 5-6 years ago. Congratulations again to the legendary duo!
