Anush is thoroughly enjoying the craft gifts she received in particular two of them. She says a Big Thank you to IBH and Ro aunties for these !!
I just had to oversee/ guide her once and then she managed with minimal help.

On a sad note, India lost two of her best classical singers in the last few days- Pattamaal and Gangubai Hangal.
My earliest recollection of Pattammal was my maternal grand ma listening to her completely mesmerised. . .debatable but my family always thought that this musical genius was to MS what Sivaji was to MGR or say Guru Dutt to Raj Kapoor.
Gangubai Hangal- I listened to one rainy evening in Mumbai when the India Today classical music cassette collection was procured by my folks. A powerful voice - she was very different from the usual classical singers I had been exposed to. Good bye ladies!

Yes, both DKP and Gangubai Hangal were titans in every sense of the term.
This is a link to old piece on Hangal

thanks VJ on mister muthu- i really do not know if any of the other bloggers read it. but i am getting fan mail from kids for the book version- that feels good.
on theatre fest
considering it especially the Naseruddin shah one but i dont usually go anywhere without anush- u know that- and it will be difficult to make her sit thru these heavy duty plays now- she is a big girl with a mind of her own. . .
hhgmom-
