A hassle free customs and baggage claim finally made me reach the lobby of the domestic terminal @ 5:45 AM. The thought that my next flight to Coimbatore is 3 hrs away added extra flavor to the lull and dullness I experienced at the Mumbai airport. Then the magic happened which elevated my excitement to the pinnacle and maintains it even today....</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Padmasree Dr. K.J.Yesudas entered the airport with his wife and checked in to the Kingfisher airlines counter. Once he was done with his check in formalities, I went and took blessings from him and wished him "Belated Christmas Aasamshagal". And I told him that I am very excited and happy to have met him there. What followed was an unexpected small chit chat session and I have tried to reproduce the same for those interested - </div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I mentioned to him that I was on my way back from US. He enquired about my place of residence for which I said it's near Philadelphia. He mentioned that he lives in Dallas and his sons are also employed there except for Vijay who lives in Chennai. And he enquired whether I am in Software for which I replied in the affirmative. I then told him that I used to attend his concerts when I used to be in Chennai. He then mentioned about certain dates when he has his concerts in Chennai in the ongoing December Music Season 2008. It was time for him to leave and my mind and the excitement was never the same again. It has already been transformed into an ecstatic level....</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Thanks to the unknown friend of mine who took the fotograph.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8546576185563326253-8664401721380111083?l=mistydrizzle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mistydrizzlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07115704140658792219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546576185563326253.post-43113135803695175232008-12-17T11:30:00.000-08:002008-12-17T11:55:02.639-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r3iRzSUKD7Q/SUlYfRJoUTI/AAAAAAAAHts/nMaqJusnQTs/s1600-h/krishna.jpg"></a><div align="justify"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r3iRzSUKD7Q/SUlXb5l5eJI/AAAAAAAAHtk/qzaK04ddkbM/s1600-h/jayshri.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280848174896478354" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 165px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r3iRzSUKD7Q/SUlXb5l5eJI/AAAAAAAAHtk/qzaK04ddkbM/s320/jayshri.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div align="justify"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r3iRzSUKD7Q/SUlXEzfJ4MI/AAAAAAAAHtc/6aZm-IOdbfU/s1600-h/krishna.jpg"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r3iRzSUKD7Q/SUlXEtwg4MI/AAAAAAAAHtU/a-GkCdeT-AI/s1600-h/jayshri.jpg"></a>...
