MUSICAL PROGRAMME ON 1ST MARCH 2009

Hello Friends,

Our ex-President and member S Ramakrishna had called me up today in the evening to inform that there is a programme on Devanand's songs (DEVANAND NITE) at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, KING KOTI ROAD, Hyderabad tomorrow at 6.00 p.m.

Ramakrishna had seen the advertisement of this upcoming event in The Times of India today wherein the main singer was shown as Shrikant Narayan, a famed Rafi-centric singer from Mumbai who is very close to both Ramakrishna and me. Ramakrishna immediately talked to him on telephone and then conveyed the message to me too. Shrikant Narayan will reach Hyderabad tomorrow by afternoon flight. Earlier too Shrikant Narayan was the main singer in two programmes held at Ravindra Bharati in the previous two years - OP Nayyar Nite and NAUSHAD NITE. Now this programme is at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, King Koti Road, Hyderabad from 6.00 p.m. on 1st March 2009. Our members can take this opportunity to see the programme. Tickets are available at the venue tomorrow and also at Sagar Sangeet.

I will not be attending the programme myself as I have to attend to my wife at the hospital, but I will speak to Shrikant Narayan tomorrow after he reaches Hyderabad.

Today I had also met Manish Jagirdar, a very active member of BAAR BAAR RAFI FAN CLUB of Bangalore who is in town until tomorrow. I have conveyed the above to him too, as he too knows Shrikant Narayan very well.

This piece of news is also being uploaded on http://rafifoundation.blogspot.com - our very own blog page. We hope our members are logging on the same.
