Dear Kala,
This navaratri season when the kids got to exhibit their talents at various peoples homes, they received several compliments. Always the first question was who their teacher is. When we said they were your students they always said they thought so because of the way they presented themselves.

Even the songs that are picked for these kids are unique and shows the time you have taken to research and teach them. The innumerable number of extra practice rehearsals at the expense of your own personal time shows your dedication to this art form and how seriously you take imparting this knowledge.

Proceeding to one lesson after another in a meaningless way is not your style. You want perfection, clarity, discipline and understanding and appreciation of this beautiful art form. The nuances and finer aspects of a song, you have drilled into them which sets them apart from other students.

My kids are far from perfect but this season just like a light bulb went on, they are extremely proud about what they are learning. They want to showcase what they know and take pride in it. This itself is a first step taken in the right direction. They have fallen in love with carnatic music and I owe it to you.

What can I say, I am indeed blessed to be here in this city where you have taken up residence and we have had the privilege to be under your tutelage.

I hope that this association continues forever. We are eternally grateful to you.

As guru dakshina, we offer implicit obedience, punctuality, dedication and appreciation of all that is taught to us.

Dear Kala,
We were very impressed with the girls performing alaipayuthe... All the credit goes only to you and your disciplinary training insisting that they always memorize the songs and always giving significance to the meanings and pronunciation.
