Meet Krishna Shenoi - a 15 years old genius amongst GSB child prodigies - he is on the threshold of teenage.  He is studying in the Millennium School, Dubai. He has a younger sister Susmita who is an 8^th gr

ade student of the same school. They are the lovely kids of Mr. Bala Shenoi & Mrs. Sandhya Shenoi.
Krishna is a multifaceted personality. He has a good number of hobbies - videography, photography, swimming, drawing, painting and story writing.

And none of this is with compromising on the regular studies. He is at ease in all these pastimes. He has even named his amateur film production venture as “Shenoi Pictures” with a nice emblem/logo as well. His web site channels the broadcast of his short films.

His self introduction is well presented in the following web link :

Some more short video movies can be accessed thru ‘Videos’ folder in the above link. He has a good collection of India’s funniest music videos.

Krishna says : “I’m just an everyday kid with three exceptions — I draw well, I write well, and I make movies”.

He has won several prizes in painting, drawing and story writing. Not only in the school but also in contests and events held outside. His short movie clips of ‘Twins fight’ and ‘Chair drive’ are funny. During the making of the ‘Giant Visual’, Krishna spent over five hours for a perfect audio-visual end product lasting just 15 seconds.

That shows his dedicated and researched homework in the movie making, indicating that he is really serious with the art and not a simple ‘time pass’ approach. His recent addition is a song on Indian Independence Day.

Our next post is a “Krishna Leela” dance presented by Meghana as Lord Shri Krishna, and friends Amey Shenoy, Milind Nayak, Anurag Kamath & Arya Prabhu as gopabalas, at the UAE Amchigele Samaj annual day celebration in December 07.

What is unique about this dance is that it involves the talent, efforts & enthusiasm of three generations:

• Meghana, a 7 year old grade III student of Indian High School, Dubai;
• Sujatha Bhat, Meghana’s doting mother who lovingly encourages her budding talent &
• Smt.Jayanthi R. Pai, Meghana’s multi-faceted charming grandmother of whom both Sujatha and Meghana are immensely proud.

Smt.Jayanthi R.Pai not only composed the lyrics & the music but also sang this konkani song that melodiously depicts incidents from Shri Krishna’s childhood.

Smt.Jayanthi is a an extremely talented lady who participated in & won several competitions during her school years at Honnavar. She is also a well known public figure, having served as Corporator in Mangalore for 5 years.

It is no surprise then, that her grandchild Meghana is showing a keen interest in music and dance from such a young age.

We wish to thank Smt.Sujatha & Shri Ganesh Bhat for sharing this video with us.

Our next offering is a Sai Bhajan sung by 7 year old Hamsika Shanbhag.  This bubbly little girl is the daughter of Shanti & Anand Shanbhag & a student of grade III at KGS, Dubai.  Hamsika has been training under Hindustani classical singer Smt.Chitra Ghosh for the past two years. 
 
We do hope you will like Hamsika’s rendition of “Janam diya tune Sai ko….” , originally sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy.  Hamsika would love to receive your blessings via comments posted at radioidli
