Sangeetha Sandhippu - Coffee chat with Rasikas

Carnatica had organized a Sangeetha Sandhippu - Coffee chat for artists with rasikas.

Smt.Vasundhara Rajagopal and I had an informal chat session with rasikas on the 20th of December at Sangeetha Restaurant, R.A.Puram.

















One hour was too short :-)

It was very lively with a lot of participation and questions from the audience.

















Nisha Rajagopal (Vasundhara's daughter) joined Vasundhara for a song and on a request from Nivedita(anchor for the program), Vishruthi came on to the stage and we sang a song together.



















A good, novel concept by Carnatica for artists to interact with Rasikas :-)
