Heyn that noteAn autobiographical picture of Sanjay Subrahmanai is a summary of a life dedicated to Karnataka music and is a glimpse in this attempt to create a classical musician’s style-genius change at the top of his career. In fact, the headline of the second chapter graphically summarize: “It takes a village to lift a musician.”

Sanjay has not been an easy journey, but his family’s joint effort and, above, Sanjay’s own determination helped his development to a skilled artist to a skilled artist. It is also about his well -wishers, bosses, audiences and fans.

It is attractive to read how a playful boy from Mylapur is started in music because due to the deep socio-cultural military of his family. This is also about Karnataka music during the same period of five-decades-apart from the journey of Sanjay, you also get a ringside scene about the life of all the major characters of his life.

“There has been a lot of change in my performance career post epidemics in the last two years. I never thought that I am doing things that I did. I also thought that it would be the right time to look back and write about the circumstances that lead to this, ”Sanjay says, about the cause of the book at this turn of his career.

On that note Compact and easy to read because Sanjay and his co-writer Krupa GE cling to the main story, but still do not compromise on the details. It has everything-their big year, family and friends, never ending the end of learning and even insecurity and insecurity and weaknesses. This gives us an unquenchable approach about their artistic perspective, why does he do what he does, and how he reached where he has.

Here is an example (p. 79): “It was during this period that I infected out of the box approach, being a strict conservative for free, a little more free. I used with new ideas and took freedom with my performance whether innovation was right or wrong, without hitting this dilemma. ,

The book succeeds in its consistent story style – it is as if Sanjay is speaking in the first person.

Krupa ji presented a book in Sanjay’s style, which shows herself little. “I recalled the challenge of playing the role of a ventrylocist. Capturing other voices is a major prejudice as the author of imagination in my second life, ”Krrupa says.

Equally commendable is how he, along with Ajita, editor, Westland, extracted the essence from an ocean of materials. Along with his writing skills, Karnataka music and knowledge of its sophisticated knowledge have also helped. “Sanjay was very clear about what he would like from the book: Metamorphosis of his identity as an epidemic. Keeping this in mind, I came with a plan for the book in consultation with my editor. The final form was his idea, which gives you a glimpse in a huge life – of a special moment, and with some affair, the events of its construction. It left Sanjay later with the option to expand, in more versions, or for a deep dive, on his own or with a colleague.

The session will be held in Sir Mut, on January 19, 3.50 pm Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall.
