With a poetic name like that, we were all eager to meet this singer from Vizag, the lovely seaside town on the Coromandel coast. The studio was all set, mics in place, earphones connected. Then came a series of calls from the taxi driver who'd managed to get lost with the Andhra party of musicians. After many calls giving detailed directions, we spotted the taxi cruising towards the studio!
Musicians are usually sensitive and get irked easily. But Rama got out of the car and smiled brightly at us from across the street. Her husband MSN Murthy accompanies her on the violin and Ramana was to be the mrudangist.
Within half an hour they were settled in and were taking. Brisk and energetic she managed to wrap up the 2 hour play time recording in 6 hours flat with a luxurious hour of lunch thrown in!
Maha, coordinating this recording for his radio station was hoping he could get to snooze a while. But Rama was too efficient for him to find time! He looked happy though, since the recording time had been so well managed.

While Keshav recorded, Ram, Dev, Gokul and I met in another room in the studio. For ages we'd been discussing keeping a diary of the studio. Over the last 4 and half years it's been so interesting to watch the way the studio was growing, our varied interactions with clients of all sorts. The fun, the pain and the music filled path.
The diary didn't happen, meanwhile blogging did. We were all eager to put together the vibrant energy of a day at the studio and the instant access of blogging, so, here we are!
Look out for more from us.
