Carry on doctor

Taking a break, doctors sang Hindi and Telugu songs.



BEST MEDICINE! A doctor regales with his voice

Members of Sneha Sandhya, a socio-cultural body mostly managed by the elderly citizens, organised a concert of old film and private songs in their club recently.

Medicos from the noted Prema Hospitals Complex besides doctors - Murali Krishna and Mukunda Kumari from Life Medicals took some time off from their busy schedules and regaled the audience for about two hours.

They rendered about a dozen songs each from Telugu and Hindi films as well as some private recordings from yesteryears .

Lata's Ajare paradesi from Madhumathi, Dheerese aajare from Albela, Man dole from Nagin, Hum pyaar mein from Jailor, Mohabat ke joothi from Mughal E Azam , Ayega, ayega and Noorjahan's Awaz de, felicitously rendered by Mukunda Kumari stood out.

Similarly, Ghantasala's Yee Jagamanthaa from Pellichesi Choodu, and private recordings like Jandhyala Papayya Sastry's Pushpavilaapam, Saluri Rajeswara Rao's Paatapadumaa and Challagaalilo, Akashvani song Saaguma O Neelimeghamaa and a Hindi ghazal Saakhikhi Har Nigaaompe rendered by Murali Krishna made for pleasant listening.

Parvez on the keyboard, Babu Rao on tabla , Dharmagnani on flute and Giri on the keyboard (all from the noted Roshanlal Orchestra) lent excellent support. Manager of the orchestral team Janakiram conducted the programme with ιlan.

Tarangam recital

Earlier in the week, the well-known Sri Sarada Annamayya Sangeetah Vidyalayam founded and managed by Parupalli Satyanarayana (who specialises in Annamayya compositions) organised a recital of Narayanatheerdha Tarangams by B.V. Prabhakar from Hyderabad.

G. Sruthi and B. Jyotsna rendered some lyrical parts in tandem with him.

The recital, in which the lyrics that were mostly set to tune by Prabhakar himself and vocal wizard Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna held at VUDA's children's auditorium , attracted a large gathering.

Saranambhava in Arabhi, Paramapurusha in Behag, Govinda Ghataya in Kambhoji and Krishnam Kalayasakhi in Mukhari stood out in particular. K.V. Brahmanandam on keyboard, Sankara Babu and Ramu on tabla (all from Hyderabad), local artistes Vamsi on flute and G. Venkata Rao on mridangam constituted the orchestra.
