Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Happy Diwali again


Dear Friends,

Wishing you a Happy Diwali again, I would like to update you of some simple rules for performance selection decided by Charul , Tushar and me, for our forthcoming programmes.

These rules are not sacrosanct and can certainly be changed in case found to be inconvenient. The tremendous response to perform from within our  group obliges all of us to ensure that everyone interested gets a chance to perform , while at the same time keeping the uniqueness and infotainment content of a program intact.

The selection of songs [ selection - not the sequence!] shall follow the following order of preference :

1. The first preference shall be given to duets [ can be MM; FF or MF]
2. The second preference shall be given to solo performances [ by which I mean songs, instruments, mimicry, poetry, talks or presentations or anything else ] of members who have NOT done a duet.
3. The third preference shall be given to members who would like to do a solo or a duet who have already performed in 1 or 2 above. In case the number of requests in this category exceeds the max possible songs, we shall have a draw for this category.

I believe this way we would be able to ensure that every performer shall get at least 1 performance at the minimum in every program.

We have not yet come to a conclusion on how to manage the sequence, but would be able to do so in the coming weeks.

I would welcome any suggestions for improvement and look forward to a musical Samvat 2071 with all of you !!
