An 'untrained' musician, that's me! What I've gathered is purely by sitting in at concerts for over 2 decades...In the process, a lot of learning has happened...perhaps not so much about music but yes, about life! This space will be dedicated to the happenings in the world of performing arts; the lesser known aspects of legendary artistes; my journey & experiences with artistes; a window to young talent.

'Shivgandhar'
An evening well spent amidst some of the legendary artistes of the country.... Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma graced the ocassion as the chief guest. Pt. Ram Narayan, his son Pt Brij Narayan , Dr Sushila Rani, Pt Arvind Parikh, Pt Ashok Sharma, Zarine Daruwala and many others were also present to shower their blessings on Pt. Shivanand Patil. The evening commenced with a classical rendition in Raga Puriya Kalyan, an evening melody. The book 'Shivgandhar' was launched at the hands of Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma. Accompanied by chants, priests from the famous Siddhivinayak Temple felicitated Pt Shivanandji. All the dignitories were presented with a copy of the book and a delightful potted 'Tulsi' plant!
