This is what I saw in Spam folder of my gmail inbox. Why was it sent to MEEE ??? Unknown sender. No Subject. Is it not easy to come up with an abstract name and generate a random subject line, like others have done in the top and bottom ?

Unlike previous years’ festival, I collected no pamphlets, promotional materials or subscription forms or even bagful of books. As it has been in since last few months, my first instinct was not to buy any books. This visit was just to check if this year’s edition is different in any ways from the past. I made it a point to spend as little time as possible browsing through popular sections of Management, Tech, Self help and novel sorts.

But I still couldn’t help myself to make one purchase. Just One. Of all the crores together books.
Two things which made my day.
- The book which I picked up. I tell you later. It deserves a separate post.
- Evening live concert of C Ashwath
It was raining when the program started and there were very few in the audience. But as Ashwath’s voice touched skies, audience gathered in good numbers.
Kannada Bhavageethe concerts are a treat to ears. Their lines being adapted from poetry collections and composed by gifted musicians makes a perfect blend. I don’t think I have ever attended any. It is sweeter, full of melody and lyrical. With no chairs left, standing for nearly hour and a half was still a breeze.
Two female singers and a male accomplice to Ashwath, rendered few of the finest songs.
Deepavu ninnade gaaliyu ninnade, Kurigalu saar kurigalu
Ondiralu Kanasinali, nee hinga noda beda nanna
naavu bharatiyaru , kodagan koli nungitta
I could not have come home without picking up the C Ashwath’s collection. Maadhurya.
It is always like this. You go to book festival but get entertained by music.
