First of all, my heartfelt thanks to IF team for providing this wonderful forum. For people like me who have been away from India, this forum provided a perfect opportunity to express and share views with like minded people.
I have been participating in SRGMP forum for few months now and made few friends here (my first friends were 'pmahesh' and 'MrspetloverUS' 😊 )
As SRGMP is drawing to a close, my participation in this forum is slowly tapering off.
In any case, in the recent weeks, from the PMs that I received, I discovered that IF forum indeed has a few hidden gems (chupa rushtoms/mattilo maanikyalu), amongst its members.
I thought it would be appropriate for me to share this information with you all about these hidden gems.
Here they are:
luvmusic:
'luvmusic''s mother Smt. B.V.S.S.Lakshmi, often referred to as Veena Subbalakshmi in music circles in Vizag, is an acclaimed Veena artiste, singer(Light and Carnatic), writer(many of her short stories are published in AndhraBhoomi & Prabha), her articles on analysis of works of Trinity and other write-ups related to Carnatic music are published in Ganakala, only music magazine in Andhra), composer(composed many musical features and provided music for Kuchipudi Ballets like Natyaavirbhavam, Nadavedam,SwarnaBharati etc).
'luvmusic' herself learnt Carnatic music and Light music from her mother and Smt.Sarada Subrahmanyam for abt 10 years and after a gap for 6 years she is now back to daily practise and learning through net.
pam309:
'pam309' learned dance in Hyderabad from Vempati China Sathyam's disciple. Though she is an accomplished 'kuchipudi' dancer, she left it as she moved to Kuwait along with her husband. Understand she did an impromptu dance, to Shri. Balamurali Krishna's Tillana, during one of his visits to the Gulf. Btw, she is also an Engineer in Electronics and Communications.
kd286:
'kd286' (Deepa)'s grand father is the famous Shri. Kamalakara Kameswara Rao who directed evergreen films like "Narthanasala", "Pandava vanavasam", "Maha mantri timmarusu" etc. Great celebrity that he is, he was associated closely with Shri. Ghantasala and other celebrities during filming of these evergreen movies.
kishore_bhakta:
Understand kishore_bhakta is a talented person and plays a number of instruments. Of late we have not seen educative posts from this gentleman. Those who know more about him, please post in this thread.
bigmac:
We already know bigmac i.e., AnuragHarsh is another celebrity/gem in this forum with his brilliant posts. Those who haven't known about him yet, can go to any of his posts which has a link to his personal website.
maniguha:
autmother:
Understand from their posts that 'maniguha' and 'autmother' are also classically trained musicians. Appreciate if they or any one who know about them can post more details about their talents here. Thanks.
In addition to the few mentioned above, there are a quite a few number of celebrities/gems hidden among IF members. Humble that they are, all these hidden gems may not come out and talk about themselves. Hence, I encourage friends of these hidden gems/ celebrities to post particulars of such gems here. While posting, please use discretion so that the person's privacy is respected.
Hope to discover more such gems here…..
