This has been one satisfying musical evening. Started with Hindustani Classical music of Kishori Amonkar and Malini Rajurkar. Then got an opportunity to listen to the audio of ‘Delhi 6′ inbetween office calls and just got bowled over by it. A.R.Rahman has composed some unbelievable stuff. Swept me off my feet instantly just like some of his earlier works Lagaan, Swades, Jodhaa Akbar etc had all done. I seem to be floating in a totally different world now

Please note: I post about lec dems and other educative sessions I go to with the intention of sharing the details with people who might have missed attending them. While I don't mind such posts being copied and put on other web sites with the intention of sharing it with more people, I would be happy if a link pointing to the original post is also put. Unfortunately this is a basic courtesy most people seem to lack.
