As usual, dad came all the way from hyderabad to vijayawada just to accompany me and boost up my confidence.Frankly speaking, my recording was not up to mark.I had to select any three devotional/light music songs.And they are,
- Paluke bangaramayena - ramadasu keertana
- nanati bathuku natakamu in revathi ragam
- Jayadevuni ashtapadi - anilatarala kuvalayanayanena
I realized my mistakes and my satisfaction levels were going down but I met this person, Modumudi Sudhakar , a top grade carnatic vocalist,working as grade 1 music composer in AIR vijayawada(I read about him after coming back home) who was so simple,and had been encouraging me during the whole performance.He said its not necessary to record again,this is fine,you don't worry' :) .Its not about how I sang but the way he carries himself and doesn't show off,smiles always,I am very impressed.
