Indian Fine Arts and my guru....
A jovial moment on stage with my guru Sri TM Krishna at Indian Fine Arts (IFAS), Chennai this last December Season.

My guru's concert at IFAS is usually something special. In the past, I have heard him render ragas like Athana, Anandabhairavi, Darbar, etc. as the main pieces in his concerts here.
In fact, one of the most poignant memories here were when he sang a 'O Jagadamba' - the charanam lines 'kanna thalli...' simply moved us all to tears.
In his recent concert (28th Dec) he sang a thaanam in todi without singing a raagam and followed it up with Thyagaraja's Enduku Dayaradura. Thanam singing leaves you drained because you need to give it all the energy you have to maintain the tempo.
My guru always says that the hallmark of a great musician lies in the way he/she handles neraval and thaanam. For a student of music, these two represent the biggest hurdles; if you gain a comfort level in these two departments, you are all set!!!
