Friends, 51 songs were rendered in about 150 minutes, which gives us an average of about 3 minutes per song !!! It is a very good average and goes on to prove that we are focussed more on singing and less in cross talks. Each one of us is doing his/her best not to waste even one minute of available time.

For some time now, I have a feeling that we should have a signal song for our Rafi Chapter, Hyderabad. It should be a chorus sung by all of us together either at the beginning or the end of the session. It will not only be participative, it will also go a long way in establishing our unity. Till such time that we have our own tune, we can try allah tero naam, chhodo kal ki baatein etc...............Will look forward to your valuable suggestions.

Till next time when we meet at full strength, added vigour and lots and lots of new songs...........

Padmanabhan NR
