Gauthams "rangapravesha"
On Jan4th,2009, Gautham played his first keyboard performance for an audience of around 50 people. The venue was a new year party organised by children attending tuitions at relatives house in Vijayanagar. The party was great and the 6 songs Gautham played on the keyboard was appreciated by one and all. Will try to post the pics some time.

Udupi, Shringeri and Marwanthe
Dec 25th,2008
At 10:30 PM , boarded the sleeper bus at Navrang without a clue of the about-to-come Movers-n-Shakers experience enroute the ride to Mangalore.
Dec 26th:
Around 11 AM, reached ( atlast !! ) Udupi. Within few minutes was able to locate SriRam Residency and checked in. The rooms are quite comfortable and the advance booking we had made for the AC rooms came as a blessing considering the afternoon heat and humidity at Udupi.I didnt expect that it would be so hot in December end. Post lunch, all of us ventured out in the hot afternoon to have a Darshan of Lord Krishna at the famous Krishna temple.As things turned out , there was a long queue and couldnt muster the courage to withstand another couple of hours in the sun ( the night travel had drained me out ).All I needed was an hours rest. Maybe the afternoon rest was the turning-point as after that , all went well. At around 4PM , went to Malpe beach and had a wonderful time there.Was lucky to watch the sunset with family. At around 7:30PM, we were back at the temple. By then , there was not much of a crowd and we managed to have an excellent darshan of Lord Krishna.
Also fortunate to see the seer perform the tottalu-seve with singing of songs.This was a very good experience for all of us.
One good thing we did was to book a taxi for the next days visit.
Dec 27th :
At 9AM, started towards Shringeri. The drive from Udupi to Shringeri is via Agumbe. This is a very picturesque place. At Shringeri , Sharadamba temple is by the river side and is a fantastic place. We were again lucky to be at there at lunch time as the food serverd at the the temple is very delicious.The drive from Shringeri to Marwanthe is via many small towns and we reach Kundapur back on the National Highway leading to Goa.Marwanthe is very near to Kundapur. Marwanthe beach is awesome as its a long stretch of fine sand on one side of the highway. On the other side , there is a river and lush green vegetation. Marwanthe beach is very clean and is not yet commercialsed to a large extent.
Hope it stays that way for a long time.
