Unsung talent
Both Chhattisgarh Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan and Chief Election Commissioner N. Gopalaswami are very fond of Carnatic music and have on occasion even sung in public. After the Gujarat election, Gopalaswami left for Chennai to take part in a concert, taking along instruments like the mridangam and harmonium. Narasimhan is scheduled to sing with a group of 250 top Carnatic musicians at Thiruvaiyaru, the birth place of saint-composer Thyagaraja Bhagavatar.
