It is quite 'transportative' to say the least.<BR/><BR/>I haven't attended any in Chennai but the equivalents, yes, though in other music forms, and maybe not as much discussion.<BR/><BR/>I just hope the Brahmin tradition continues if for nothing else than for the fact that it contributes a strong ethos and tradition to this very multi-cultural country of ours. And I believe Chennai can lay a strong claim to this.Anil Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422187314611747278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-64456978490485525922008-12-24T07:54:00.000+05:302008-12-24T07:54:00.000+05:30Hello Raji :)Greetings!Very interesting post inter...Hello Raji :)<BR/><BR/>Greetings!<BR/><BR/>Very interesting post interlaced with fantastic humour.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading it.<BR/><BR/>Lovely photos too!<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Wish you a wonderful day full of joy and happiness :)Joseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-963357310238170052008-12-24T02:52:00.000+05:302008-12-24T02:52:00.000+05:30Raji, wishing you and your family a very Merry, Me...Raji, wishing you and your family a very Merry, Merry Christmas. xoSandraReehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305161476021509074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-68697138929660151242008-12-23T22:11:00.000+05:302008-12-23T22:11:00.000+05:30hello ma'amNice post!
