Was egarly waiting for this years Sawai Gandharva Festival to attend it and the day came on 8th of December 2006.Actually the festival started on the 7th but could not attend it on the first day.
My liking for classical music has been ramping up over the period of time though i admit that i cannot sing or play any instrument but like to listen .

So this year it was decided that me,rohit,abhay and nd would be attending the concert and i took the repsonsibility of the tickets .The baithak tickets were taken and so began the excitment to attend the concert .
