suruTTi AlApanai while hArathi

the evening ended with hArathi.

I may be wrong with a couple of compositions as i just recalled them from memory. On the whole, it was a great ~2.5 hrs on a sunday evening with TVS at Academy.

The concert started punctually with TT Vasu (who was very ill and could not even walk) appearing on stage at 6:13 and sitting to start the proceedings.

Most mAmi's where disappointed as TVS did not sing, mEru samAna or Emi jEsitEnEmi or AragimpavE or rAju vEDala or nannu pAlimpa or vinayakuni or rama kadA sudA as they expected. in fact some mAmi's expected brovabAramA after nAgaswarAvali alApanai. There was one mAmi who said the madhyamAvati kriti was a dikshitar composition.

Earlier in the morning for the tyagaraja Aradanai, there was pUja and ghoshti gAnam of pancharatnams....
