Our institute's Foundation Day was yesterday, Oct. 3rd. As part of it, I had a chance to witness a brilliant concert by Ms. Deepti Navratna, who blended various lyrics with the Carnatic style of singing, making it an experience to cherish. The performance was also specially designed to sync with Gandhi Jayanti, which was just a day earlier, and included a few of Gandhiji's favourite bhajans/poems. She sang a couple of Kuvempu compositions too.

I was also pleased to find a couple of Telugu compositions, one folk and one by Thyagaraja, if I am not mistaken. But what took the cake was a Hebrew song tuned to a raga in the tradition of South India! Hadn't really heard a Carnatic vocal performance for a long time, and this one was special.
She is also a neuroscientist, among other things. So art and science can meet, and how!
