Today i attended a carnatic concert by mangalampalli balamurali krishna- the legend of carnatic music.the event took place at chinmaya heitage center- chetpet. it gave me sheer joy as first thing to see him so close-a few feet distance- then to listen him live.it was my wish since along time to attend a classical concert. then today at afternoon i saw in paper abt this event and i was ther promptly.
it started at 7 pm with "vathapi ghana.." . i drowned myself into his music. i started listening attentively not just hearing.the joy one should enjoy by oneself-as though the soul taken to a great height. it continued for an hour when the organizers disturbed it for thanks giving all the souls who worked behind the curtains. then it again went on for one more hour till he said 'mangalam'. totally he sang 6 or 7 kirtans-one from tamil and one from hindi.
i felt to take autograph as some were doing but i dont have a paper or book. i also miss to take his photo.simply i stood looking admiringly near the dais.when i came out i was in a trance.the trance continued till i came out and took bus to my place. i felt y cant it b prolonged for some more time. when i started to my room again i felt as if i m dropped from a great height. i heard people feel sorrow after a great joyful experience.
at last i thought if i wont put it down today itself i may miss this beautiful blog.
