The concert was just too good to express. almost everybody was speechless. Each alapanai was so refreshingly off beat and made everybody sit up. The neraval and svarams were so good. The kritis were all rendered beautifully.
I am totally speechless and wordless to write anything about this concert.
As somebody was remarking, "it needs an 85 year old lady, to make you sit and listen to a concert full of un-heard-off kritis and not loose interest." (my apologies to quote him, without taking his permisson)
each phrase in the alapanais was so moving. At this age, the azhuttham in her music is just mind blowing...
i cant write more.. i dont know what to write.
some pics from the concert.
acknowledgements to Mahesh Mahadevan, a grand nephew of Smt Ponnammal, who was with me at the concert.

It happens when you just sing to the best of your ability without trying to impress those who are listening to you. That's the person she is - what she is is what you get, and vice versa!
