To the CAIFA Team : Kudos to you all for pulling off an extremely well-organized evening of music yesterday (May 1st). This is the second program of CAIFA that I have attended (the first being the two Tamil dramas that were staged last winter). Both times, I was immediately struck by the planning, efficiency, and the well-oiled coordination of your team. Hats off ! I would like to volunteer help with the organization and conduct of your forthcoming programs. Please let me know how I can be of help.

I wanted to let you know that the concert was absolutely mesmerizing. The house was packed!! Many people including myself were commenting on how successful the program was and how substantial the crowd was. This was a fantastic production and a great show for the beginning years of CAIFA. I think all of the organizers (and particularly your family because I'm sure you were the most involved) should be very proud. I hope things continue to flourish and prosper. I believe I'm on CAIFA's e-mail list since I signed a form when I purchased a ticket. I would very much like to be kept aware of future programs.

What an astounding evening we had. I have been in and around Chicago for the past 20+ years; I've never experienced such a delightful event like this. My sincere thanks to all. The dinner menu was different than usual and excellent. My grandkids like the menu specially the Banana bread as they are tired of our Indian sweets! When I enquired about the food, I was told all are homemade! I can't imagine the hard work CAIFA family put in over a period.Looking forward your next event. Please add my mail ID in your list.

I thoroughly enjoyed the [Sarvam Brahmmamayam] drama. It was entertaining while conveying some profound messages. Is there a chance this drama can be done in English. The next generation who were conspicouous by their absence last Saturday will greatly benefit from such production.

Our Best wishes to you and needless to say that you can always count on our support for the success of the initiative in propagating music and maintain the purity in our land

I attended the concert with my family. Even my children who can never sit through any program without saying \"Its boring\" where mesmerized by the experience. They walked out of the auditorium with a new found respect for Carnatic music. This social service to the community is remarkable. Please continue to host such QUALITY programs in the Northwestern suburbs and we will come out in full numbers to support and encourage CAIFA

Really its wonderful program and we enjoyed well. Keep me posted if you come across any another program like this..Once again i thank and appreciate all who work for this concert.

To me it was a spectacular stage production done with care, taste and with rich story as well as the Vedanta content. Any further extension would have made it less digestible. Here is what I sent to my nephew about the same: Please pass it on to Mr Chandrasekhar who brilliantly directed the stage production. My heartfelt congratulations for this stupendous effort.

We attended yesterday's event at Hoffman Estates, IL and thoroughly enjoyed. Sincere thanks to CAIFA for arranging such a mega event. I would be interested in participating in any skits/play being organised by CAIFA in Chicago.

It was a great nAdagam on Ramanujar over the weekend. Very well done. Clearly written (and spoken) dialog. Flowing scenes. Good selection of the cast. Nice audio. Fantastic story telling. Keep the great works coming.

Thanks for organizing this concert. It was simply wonderful!! It had been a good few years since I was witness to something as splendid!! 3 hour + Indian classical concert was a real treat !! Thanks again for holding the tickets as well for me..
