Rain or shine— 21/12/2015

Though  we chennaiites have experienced the worst  and  traumatic days and nights   for  more than two weeks, however the music and art lovers have all the reason to thank nature for being considerate enough for not disrupting the annual music  season. ‘Artistes’   as young as 11 years have  been able to  make  their debut in sabhas known and not so well known .What came as a surprise was for the first time I found   high profile caterers of  sabha canteens advertising  their menu in newspapers with attractive photographs, as evidence of having an edge over their peers.

Rain or shine, life goes on in Chennai, so does the Margazi magic but I wonder if the once patronized  sabha canteens  by rasikas of food will continue to draw   them this year too !Until now attracting food lovers had never been a problem, especially in reputed venues, infact keeping them away was more an issue to the high profile caterers !
