How were your practice sessions during those years?
We would practice assiduously so that our presentation on the stage should be neat. Practice makes the art perfect and we always strive for that.

We take care to get every sangati correct and rehearse many times before rendering any song. We are careful not to strike discordant notes.

Prof. T R Subramaniam . who is a walking encyclopedia.
