Queen of carnatic world in Austin

Wowwww... we were so contented to see her and listen her sing yesterday evening. The auditorium was overflowing with crowd. The IFA (India Fine Arts) organizer got a citation from the university police as the auditorium capacity was less than the crowd present inside! Beautiful light and sound arrangements, such grace on her face, she was looking so elegant. There was not a single soul inside which stopped shaking the head or tapping the hands for even one moment. And the way she kept the audience bound to her, she even humbly requested people not to leave for any pause in between! Bombay Jayashree.. her majestic self in Austin!

The door was closed for 3 hours and we were not expected to leave.. And she made it meaningful through her amazing brigas and her overwhelming vocal talent! She sang continously with not even a drop of water or nothing to rest herself. And even after 3 hours of it, she still looked like, "I'm ready for more!" Astounding performance.. 

Even the violinist Mr. Bhaskar and the Mridangist and the youngboy on Ganjeera were rocking. It was so mind blowing to see her simply challenging the instrumentalists around her, who also did their best to match her. Me and my husband, both of us are her great fans. Even in the cine world, she is famous for singing melodies in her base voice. We were really glad to see her performing in Austin. This was her first visit here after 15 yrs! And the next visit is planned after six yrs only! Me getting her autograph in the pic here.. This was the first time I met her too ;-)
