It was different type of March madness for me – like a basketball bouncing between hoops, I was shuttling between events from one city to another.
Mar 6th -Tampa Malayalee Association celebrated their inaugural function and I was invited to perform with Biju Narayanan who flew in all the way from India just for this program. ASIANET, the Malayalam channel , covered this event which was colorful and well organized . Got to catch up with Biju who is a family friend and who I have grown up with since my childhood.
Mar 20th- Rock Island Telugu Association celebrated Ugadi, on Mar 20th- the name of the town may sound like it is off an island by the sea- It actually is a suburban town a few hours from Chicago,Illinois. Harnadha Raju and I had a great time performing for this crowd. Great sound system and a great audience vindicated my belief that small towns are great places to derive artistic satisfaction.
Mar 27th-Bharathi Kalai Mandram Houston celebrated their 30th anniversary at the Meenakshi Temple auditorium in Houston. This is probably my fifth performance at Houston and like the previous ones, C.S.Ainkaran led the efforts and with his impeccable organizational zeal and attention to minute details, this concert was very well received by the audience and organizers. It also reinforced my belief that all my concerts in a temple auditorium are hugely successful.
