Ranjani Gayatri - Fall 2010 US Concert Tour
Venue: SSVT, Maryland Date: Oct 16, 2010 - 5pm Accompanists: H.N.Bhaskar (Violin), Delhi Sairam (Mridangam) I had gone gaga over Ranjani Gayatri's concert few weeks in advance as this would be my first RG concert in person. But as the concert day was nearing, I could not decide whether I should go. After much dilemma, I made it to the concert carrying my newborn. I realized within few minutes that it's not easy sitting in a concert for three hours with the baby. I was physically present but all my attention had to be on the baby. She would start screaming every time a new song would begin or the mridangist would bang a beat and I rushed outside to calm her. I was hearing the songs, enjoying some, not focusing on some. The songs and ragas that I missed were filled in by asking around.
