Hello ma'm,
This is Srinivasaraghavan. I had the fortune of meeting you at Hamsadhwani yesterday and even obtained your autograph. I hope you can recollect.

Actually, I wanted to ask you about an eminent past vainika by the name of Komanduri Tirumalacharyulu. I searched the internet but could not find any info about him. I happened to hear one of his AIR concerts that was uploaded yesterday to Sangeethapriya and I was just astounded. I will be extremely happy if you can write whatever you know about him in your blog so that everyone can know about him.

Thanking you and seeking your blessings,
Srinivasaraghavan
