It was a memorable evening in Kundgol - the Janma Shatabdhi (Birth Anniversary) of Shrimant Nanasaheb Nadgir. We drove down from Hubli and reached the Nadgir Wada just after dusk - it was my first visit - had so often heard about Nadgir wada from amma (my mother-in-law) - her maternal home. Amma showed us around the wada where she grew up. Heard the anecdote of how the entire village turned up to see the bridegroom on their marriage. This is the place which saw the likes of Sawai Gandharv and Pt. Bhimsen Joshi perform.
Heard the great Gangubai Hangal perform at this age. It was a perfect introduction to classical music for lil' Pranav - at his great grandma's place. I'm sure he enjoyed the music as much as he did the car ride and the mid-summer night at the wada.
