Smt Vidhya Subramanian:
Another gentle master leaves us. Seetharama Sharma sir passed away yesterday just before an arangetram in Bangalore that he was grand guru to. When I got the news yesterday morning, I was flooded with memories of my teenage years attending Kala Peetham, taking classes in Nattuvangam from him, and peeping in on his classes with T.M.Krishna.
Such a soft spoken and dignified human being. When my dear friend Sumana called to say it was her cousin's arangetram, that she witnessed it all, that she was there as support to the close ones, there was a re-connection to this circle.
Sri Bhagavathula Venkata Rama Sarma:
My father's younger brother, my babai "Sri Bhagavatula Sitarama Sarma garu, 81years is NO MORE. Leaved his last breathe on stage while acompanying his voice and Nattuvanar for dance performance in bangalore (10Dec2017). He is a disciple of Rukmini Devi (bharatanatyam guru). He is a Musician, Vocalist, Composer, and Nattuvanar. He lived in chennai. May his soul RIP.
