what a busy weekend! a birthday party friday night, a navarathri pooja saturday night, and hordes of visitors at home all sunday, not to mention sanjay sub's concert sunday evening. we took ramya along just to see if she'd scream or not. she was very good - she was quiet and awake for about 30 minutes and then fell asleep. all in all, she was calm for 2 hours after which she started to fuss a bit perhaps because it was close to her feeding time. i wonder what goes on in babies' minds.
the concert was a disappointment for me. after all the rave reviews, this concert was very ho hum and sanjay's voice was is pretty bad shape. it's unfortunate that both carnatic musicians and perhaps the elitist rasikas are overrating ideas rather than execution in a concert. I mean how much can a performer leave to the rasika's imagination? sanjay's voice was so bad that there were numerous sruthi slips and none of his akarams were clear.

We're going to have a music night on Wed. It's kind of nice - the idea - but with Ramya nad it being a weekday, I have a feeling i'm going to get a bit stressed out. Trust G to come up with something like this without asking me first. and then sheepishly asking me if he shouldn't have after the fact. i hope they're good.
