There were a little more than a dozen. Deepak was simply wonderful with them. When we heard the refrain with the first part of the Deepak Lazarus choir we had goose flesh. The whole song is coming alive and so did the studio with all the laughter, merriment and fun filled voices which only children seem to know anything about!

Ram dashed off to fetch Dr Jumpa and his family. It was a full studio, full day and a full feeling at the end of it all. Only Bagesri couldn't make it. Her simple lyrics and the tune really work since we had the choir jiving to it!

Bruce (Lee Mani) had come in on the 10th. He played some amazing guitar, sang on the track and had us in smiles.
(We are still smiling, Bruce!) He wrote down the lyrcis in Kannada, and sang them!

After the choir was through, we tried out the folk bit. Deepu is coming in from Chennai tomorrow. All that we wanted to put in the song to make it special will be through tomorrow, except for the sound bytes.

Okay, about the song now. It's something special that we are doing for a big occasion coming up in the next fortnight. So why aren't we telling you all about it? Well, we want to keep it all under wraps until it's done, that's why. So watch out for the details.

We've already got some famous young talent on the song: Chaitra, who has won the best singer state award this year for her song in the movie Amritadhare, Bruce, the Thermal and a Quarter guy, and Deepak Lazarus's talented choir.

More details coming up just in a while, but tomorrow is the day for Deepu, who is a violinist and singer.

Bye for now and we hope to post more tomorrow.
