Today was Palm Sunday. For Christians, the start of the Holy Week. A time to reflect on the days that led to the death of Jesus and on the spiritual issues this presents.
We attended service at the magnificent St Francis Xaviers Church on Millars Road and rushed off to attend what must have been the biggest event in bangalore this Sunday.
The felicitation of guru Anoor Ananthakrishnna Sarma. Shivu to his legion of friends here and across the country.
Held at a college in Jaya Nagar this was avery warm and colorful event indeed. The who is who of the music and arts world was present. And on stage some very celebrated people, from singer SPB to TAS Mani and Suma Sudhindra and Talwalker, percussionist and Bangalore MP, H N Ananth Kumar.
50 years of life was a cause to celebrate and Shivu's disciples made a great event this Sunday. The World Cup final was forgotten and some, skipped their dates at other concerts.
Shivu and his wife were garlanded, gifted and felicitated. And the docu-film screened made the guru smile and chuckle - it had pictures of his childhood and it had stalwarts talking about his music.
Shivu has excelled as a percusionist - filk, classical, pop, film. He has done it all.
An early celebration of his life but very timely.
