Today I've been blessed with the Balaji's Divya Dharshanam & the great music legend, Thiru. Bala Murali Krishna's concert @ Birmingham. I must thank my friend & professor Dr. ANANYA, for this surprise visit and also I owe my kind gratitude to Mr. SRIDHAR & Mrs. LATHA SRIDHAR, for taking us to this divine place. One more person I must mention here is Ms. BHUVANA, who has spent her birthday gracefully on this providential occasion. The following are the summary of today's visit. We have started from Oxford by half four in the evening and reached Birmingham temple in two hours. It was an one hour concert, started by 7 pm. Although, he had sung "Oru Naal Podhuma, naan paada oru naal podhuma" (Shall one day is enough for me to sing...) in Tamil on his early days, unfortunately, today he was restricted to only one hour for just two songs to sing. However, all the invites were blessed to hear at least two of his own compositions tonight. Though, the concert was merely a greek & latin for me (because he sang in Telugu, his mother tongue), still I enjoyed to my fullest. Thats why, I agree when people say music doesn't have any language barrier. I admired the music knowledge and passion of Mr & Mrs Sridhar. The time we spent together may be less, but we shared many things. Many things we have discussed today were from psychology to cinema and from carnatic music to ancient civilization & their construction. I think it was a pretty informative talk and issues rather than a normal chatter. After dinner at McD, we again started from there by half nine and reached Oxford by eleven 'o clock without any unexpected delay in the motor way. Then we dropped Bhuvana, just opposite to her house and the rest of my fellow mates have come all the way to barton from headington to drop me at my door step. That makes a complete as well as a perfect evening for me, certainly for others too, I believe. Today, I really felt I've gone to a different world. Once again I thank all of my fellow mates for making this day, a very wonderful and memorable day for me forever!!! And I hope we will make another trip as like today in the near future :)
