This gathering was the perfect musical rendezvous of sorts, and it was great to see several musical maestros come together under the same roof. Rajendra Kelshikar had hosted a dinner at a city hotel to honour none other than Pune-based tabla maestro Pandit Suresh Talwalkar. The occasion was the 60th birthday of Pandit Talwalkar, and everybody dear to him came to wish him on the special day.
Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, Rakesh Chaurasia, Vijay Ghate, Anandan Sivamani, Durga Jasraj, Arti Ankalikar Tikekar, Devaki Pandit, Vikram Shankar, Shridhar Parthasarathi and Satyajit Talwalkar were present on the occasion, among other guests.
It was indeed rare that so many veterans from the music world spent some quality time with each other.
