I know what you mean. There's one girl in my college...she's in 2nd year, and is training under Pt. Rajan and Sajan Mishra of the Benaras Gharana. The music club people were rehersing for a performance in the courtyard, and i was loitering there. She was singing a composition (Alaap-jod-jhala and tarana) in Raag Vrindavani Sarangi. For 15 minutes, I stood there spellbound. Here was a singer who could take the sets of SRGMP by storm...none, I repeat NONE of the singers in SRGMP match upto her. Including my all time favourite Nihi.
We asked her friend why doesn't she enter SRGMP. Pat came the reply - Her gurujan don't want to defile her talent and riyaaz by making her participate in that farce.
Appropriately, she's selected in the top 10 vocalists from all over the country to give concerts by Spic Macay...student chapter.
