Yeah Pavan,, ur correct.. Hariharan messed it up so many times with his extra Alaaps and was trying to teach Chitra during Tu Hi Re..
Thank you Pavan for sucha great hospitality and support extended. He wrote everything but forgot to mention that Next day (after the concert) early morning he took us to Redfort and Inda Gate.. When we were there, we kept playing Khalbali and Paatshala repeatedly and took some ulti snaps. I should also mention that, he is so kind and helping felLow that without him our accomodation was nothing but Delhi footpaths. He arrnaged us accomodation too along with the memorable company... Thanks to Gops and Vij for all the co-operation and effort they put in make this expirience a memory worth life time. Thanks to Nazeef for the Tickets.. Varun for that smily and enthu company, Ravi for the Pinching comments and Dinner Plus Sirish for being with me all the time.. Thank you Guys and Will definately Rock next time wherever he performs in India... Wat Say?? Shivu..
