* 2hr concert , good time management.

*A cracking kumudakriya. Outstanding alapana and equally brilliant swaras.

*Beautiful madhyamavati alapana. Shortish neraval ( probably because of the time), but grand kalpana swaras.

*Enthusiastic percussion support. Boisterous at times. Sedate violin support, he played a good kumudakriya.
