 Thanks to Mad-Ras civic administartion. Almost all the roads are blocked everywhere in the city due to construction of flyovers plus regular repairs. Thus reaching Krishna Gana Sabha was a difficult task. Many regular participants avoided attending the conference this year.

An interesting topic, Sangeetham in Dance was the theme for this year's Natya Kala Conference. Convenor Bharati Shivaji did a good job of brining dance forms from all over India to represent. However not a single dance music composer was invited to present a paper nor a single session had a collaborative presentation by a dancer/choreographer and composer.

Very unfortunate.
