Our short trip to Udupi & Coorg had a great ending, what with a chance look @ a non descript advertisement of a SPIC MACAY classical program @ the NIT, Suratkal. After sorting out the major issues of how to reach the location from Mangalore, one realised that an even more bigger issue cropped up - who all will attend the whole-night concert? Rajan & Sajan Mishra duo,Dhrupad by Dagar, Shahid Parvez's Sitar, Venkatesh Kumar vocal. Not to forget some great Mandolin by the prodigal U Srinivas. Finally, the choice was unanimous and simple - only ME! It was heartening to see the huge crowd of attendees tool one saw that it was clearly a case of 'detailment'! However, the event itself was classy! Now only the moonlit hassle of how to return to the hotel @ the unearthly hour of 3 or 4 AM !!
