beginning their careers, through arranging concerts and hosting them.<br />
Additionally, Dr. Madhav has contributed to the Karnatic music repertoire<br />
by composing kritis in all of the 72 Melakarta (parent) ragas. His<br />
deep grasp of music theory and history, in topics ranging from Karnatic<br />
music <strong>Jan</strong>aka and <strong>Jan</strong>ya ragas, to Thaats in Hindustani music, and to taalas,<br />
has made Dr. Madhav sought-after by many professionals, and students of<br />
music, wanting to clarify finer points in Indian classical music. (Editor’s<br />
Note: In the very first issue of the <strong>Patrika</strong>, Dr. Madhav reviewed “Purush”,<br />
a dance program with an all-male ensemble, led by Bharatanatyam<br />
Maestro C. V. Chandrashekhar and Kathak Maestro Birju Maharaj)<br />
Mrs. Madhav has been a vital part of the community. She is noted for<br />
her skill in public speaking, and through the years, she has been a popular<br />
emcee at various functions. These include public programs at the Sri<br />
Venkateswara Temple and private functions such as many Arangetrams<br />
performed by dance students in the area.<br />
With the move further east, the Madhavs will enjoy being closer to their<br />
daughter Anita, her husband Jim and their children; and being nearer to<br />
their son Nitin. In October close to fifty friends of the Madhavs gathered<br />
at the Tamarind Restaurant in Green Tree to bid them farewell. Their<br />
friends in <strong>Pittsburgh</strong> thank them for their years of friendship, wish them<br />
well in their new home, and promise to visit them in DC. •<br />
