10 whole days of doing nothing other than attending concerts and lec-dems has come to an end! And there couldn’t have been a better ending to it than a T.M.Krishna’s concert and a Sanjay’s concert back to back! All the 15 concerts of Sanjay this December Season, 6 full concerts and an hour and a half of 2 concerts of T.M.Krishna – what a month this has been!

P.S.: I’ll post the songs list later.
