Namaskarams Madam. My wife Rajashree and I attended your concert at Music Academy today 23rd Dec 2023. Thoroughly enjoyed every Kriti. Introduction of Raga Paras/Paraj was news to me. The clarification ” தப்பா பாடலை, தெரிஞ்சேதான் பாடினேன்” was simply superb.
ஏன் பள்ளி கொண்டீர்…. was divine and mesmerizing.
