Striving towards Excellence

-Karthik Gurumurthy

As we are going through the lockdown, one of the things that is keeping the sanity during this crazy time is listening to QFR series done by the great Subhasree Thanikachalam and her wonderful team.  While we as listeners have had the privilege of enjoying the fruits of the  finished product , I  found it overwhelming to wrap my brain around the inordinate amount of time Subhasree must have devoted and continue to do so in presenting the un-heard or forgotten songs from the bygone era which have been washed away by the tides of time. I have been intrigued by the process by which Subhasree go about it, right from song selection, trivia, appropriate singers for the song selected , coordinating the accompanying instrumental music by various musicians , editing etc & that too all done remotely. Subhasree has given a new lease and life to some of the un-heard songs by unearthing them from the deep past & elevating them to a status that even the original people composers, lyricists & singers would not have envisioned . To a large extent she has single handedly helped all the music lovers cope with the lockdown through your phenomenal unimaginable work. May God bestow  Subhasree and her amazing team  lot of energy to continue to produce outstanding work.
