செவிக்கு உணவில்லாத பொழுது சிறிது வயிற்றுக்கும் ஈயப்படும் is the wise saying.. but in my case.. it was the other way around today..
Generally this time of the year, I enjoy a few concerts and the canteen delicacies as a bonus. But, I missed more than half the season this time year due to my Sao Paulo business trip. So, I wanted to catch up at the first available opportunity..
My first visit to Sabha this season was not for a Katcheri but for lunch at Naradagana Sabha Canteen. I was at work and wanted to grab something for lunch and closest Restaurant happen to be the Sabha canteen. I expected the place to packed but the place was sparse and we found a table fast. Not to be outdone, serving was fast too. The food was good & tasty as usual but for a small mix up by the waiter. I had asked for Onion Rava Dosa and he got me a Onion Dosa which was tasty as well.
Though not sure, I think the prices have gone up.. This could be an interesting study.. who makes 'more' money..? Sabha thru concerts or Canteen thru the Sabha crowd.. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the later..
After taking care of my lunch needs, got some melodious Violin rendering by a young artist in the Mini Hall. The Hall wasn't full but that's a pity because Shreya Devnath was great.
I am at best a music aficionado 'wannabe' but even I enjoyed her rendering. I liked the fact she paused to announce the raga / tala / krithis.. which gave me some reference points to cling to.
Got to do this more often... hopefully the other way around..
