Channa - Batura in 10 minutes!!

Today was very good. We received a magnificent gift from Mother Nature. By about 7.30 p.m., I looked out the window and saw a beautiful rainbow in all its splendour. Just prior to that I had witnessed a young artist's blossoming into a full fleged genius on the electric keyboard.
Yes, if you have not listened to Master. Sathyanarayanan, it is about time to go find a concert and see/ and or hear him.
Just amazing!
