Sanjay's concerts

Well u no..i wasnt really interested in carnatic music till I listened to a concert of Sanjay’s. Well Ive been learnin music from 2nd standard or sumthin and now am in 10 th.. but hav never been really crazy about it..But Sanjay has brought in a complete change in me.. Now Im so mad about carnatic music that Ive opted for music group too in 11th..so..ya..I feel completely different when I listen to Sanjay Subrahmanyan’s music..

A wonderful concert, I even went and got his pic aftr the concert and talked to him..Seems like a very nice person by heart, very modest..hmm made my day for me..

I am forbidden from going to his concerts bcos I hav my boards comin up an I hav to study but I somehow convince ma parents and each time go off to all his concerts.. Hope I get to go to atleast one more concert b4 the boards..

I dunno how he keeps his audience mesmerised.. I guess theres noone who cannot like his music.. I saw his two children too..very cute lol..That too I love the parts in the concert when hes in full josh and fully smiling an all.. Really adds flavour to his music.. Told you already Im so so so crazy about him!

Sanjay Subrahmanyan really rocks!!
