  9. Dear Nagesh & Sankalp,

    We have been following RadioIdli for quite some time now & sincerely appreciate the time and hardwork put in by the entire team @ Radioidli to showcase GSB talent from India as well as abroad. Special thanks to Aruna for her encouragement & coordination.

    It is with great pleasure that we see and hear familiar names….friends and acquaintances from around here, featured on RI. Needless to say, having Hamsika’s song (her very first studio recording) featured here gives us, her parents, immense pleasure.

    Do keep up the good work.

    We wish to thank Shri Akshay Acharya for his generous help in recording the song at his studio.

    A Special “Thank You” from a very happy Hamsika to Nagesh mam & Sankalp mam for posting her rendition. She seeks blessing from you as well as all the listeners of RI as she sets out on this musical journey.

  28. well done hamsika. keep it up

  29. Every thursday i watch in amazement at this seven year old singing bajans at a sai gathering in deira. One of the remerkable features i found in her singing is the immense self confidence she has in carrying out the song as though she has learnt the song many years back. Secondly its the versitility in rendering different types of songs. Also its rare to see a singer singing in the right sruti from the harmonium at this tender age.

    Apart from the guidence of her parents who themselves sing extremely well, its the blessings of swami showered on her at this young age. Wishing her a bright future in the world of music!!

  30. Superb Hamsika. Keep it up God bless you.

  31. Hello Hansika,

    I just happened to browse this amazing RI website specially dedicated to unite & uphold the values of our very enterprising Konkani(Saraswat)community.Glad I did that.

    It was pleasure listening to your excellent rendition of a beautiful Sai bhajan. May Shri Sai continue to grace you with melodius voice & give you lots of opportunities to sing His glory for every one to enjoy. Wish you also the very best in your educational pursuits.

    Nageshmamu
