Mohan garu, I just listened to the social get together of all the TORi-NATS finalists. Enjoyed it very much. I am very proud of my students Akhila and Suman.
You talked about the first remote IDOL you conducted along with ATA and Mahesh Saladi garu. I hope you remember I did judging of all the semifinals and the finals (in Newark, NJ) for that idol. It was a great experience for me. I want to thank you for giving me that opportunity to cherish such memorable event. I also enjoyed being a celebrity judge once during this IDOL. All the best for all your ventures.
Regards,
Mani Sastry
