One thing I missed to write in the previous mail was that AR Rahman looked so cool in his white (nearly off white 3 piece suite). White is my favourite colour and he was dressed so elegantly in this colour. He had his usual favourite smile on all through the show. Wish I could have met him but the security was far too tight and I am sure he was far too busy to be disturbed.

from Roja, Bombay, Yuva, Meenaxi, Kisna, Mangal Pandey, Sathiya and
some tamil songs (sorry don't know Tamil) were very enjoyable too.

whose names I could not hear.

Of the female singers, Sadhna Sargam was outstanding! Sapna Awasthy
was a surprise and she was absolute fun to have on stage.
