Santoor recital by Pandit Shivkumar Sharma was of course no doubt enthralling with his 'Ati Sukshma' playing of the instrument, it was the Hindustani Vocals performance by Keerti Kumar Badseshi which was the real surprise. He brought tears to my eyes within 2 minutes of his bhajan rendition, of course an effect of his superb singing prior to that for about an hour. #BengaluruHabba @ Chowdaiah Memorial on 17 Jan 2011.
The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website...
