Indian Classical Music: End of one chapter

Demise of the 88 years old legendary Hindustani classical singer Smt. Girija Devi last night marks the end of one chapter in the history of Indian Classical Music.


Although not as knowledgeable in Indian Classical Music as my beloved parents, I do inherit my interest in it, from them.

Bharath TV Channel telecast a wonderful programme known as 'Naad Bhed' (compered by the celebrated actress Shabana Azmi), over the past few years featuring eminent musicians such as Smt. Girija Devi. The programme was a great treat to the eyes, ears and minds of classical music fans.

I fondly remember my beloved mother with whom I used to view this great programme.
