Paramparik

First time I heard of Paramparik from my student Ms. Amrita Panda. But yesterday, I attended their program on classical music at Birla Sabhaghar. That is also my first experience in watching inside beauty of the hall and the Birla Temple situated on the way to Gariahat. My dear daughter is with me. Amrita with her father greeted me at the main gate. She gave us 2 guest cards and helped me to sit almost at near the stage. Her brother Aniruddha also assisted me. She introduced with her elder sister Ms. Ruchira Panda, one famous dancer and instrumentalist. I have never seen veena. First time, I saw Veena. Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's Mohan Veena is unforgettable. I heard the name of pandit Manas Chakraborty. He performed kheyal. However, time is short for me as I have to return to my house far away from the venue so I am forced to leave the place almost 1/2 an hour before.
