HI Sugata,
Happened to read about your book and also read some of your thoughts that crossed your mind on the day of your book-launch. My book ‘Splendours of royal Mysore–the untold story of the Wodeyars’ was launched recently. I could almost completely relate to the ‘brain-dead’ state of an author on the launch day and the compelling need to make a speech as well !
I must admit i havent yet read the book but given its subject and the fact that i too feel very strongly abt this need to ensure we dont lose all that is so unqiue to us as a state, a community; would certainly pick up a copy and read it !!
PLs do visit my site http://www.vikramsampath.com in your leisure
Regards
Vikram.
Hi Sugata,
I’m not sure, but were you with HT in Jaipur? If you are, you may remember a certain student studying at N.I.T, Jaipur at that time. Well, that was me.
Anyway, I read your article online on Outlook about Hindustani music and Dharwad, googled a bit and found your blog. That was a very nice article!
Regards,
Ajay
