We made a pit stop in Koramangala - at the Indian Heritage Society space to check out a concert here and a quick exit too. We had lost time and were headed to Jayanagar where S Sowmya was to perform this evening.
Then the area went black. Power tripped and a blackout reigned. But Bangalore knows how to live with power cuts and break downs.
The hall of Sri Jayarama Seva Mandali in Jayanagar's 8th Block was lit up and music flowed on to the road. But this was not Sowmya's voice surely. We heard male voices here.
And then we find young singers S R Vinay and K V Krishna Prasad in concert on stage. And on the floor, not far rows of young people. And in the first row guru R K Padmanabha.
Then things fall in place. Sowmya has excused herself since she isn't well and the duo, sishyas of Padmanabha take her place. There over 100 people in the hall though it is past 9.20 p.m.
The hosts invite us for dinner with the artistes. We say yes, the thought of having to dine in darkness at the back of this 'yes'! Rasam and curd with rice and boondhi ladoo is a simple, nice dinner.
We are home just in time to catch the final push of CSK in Chennai. The Kings beat Rajasthan Royals with one ball to spare. The rain has made Bangalore nice and cool.
