12 A Brief Break

There was a flute concert by N Ramani at the Bidaram Krishnappana Ramamandira. The concert was in full swing when a house gecko fell on the stage from the ceiling. All the artists jumped up and the gecko ran way. While all the artistes were still laughing and joking about it, Ramani had already sat down and wanted to continue to play. He shushed his fellow artistes and started playing. The others had to sit down in a hurry and accompany him.

With his action, Ramani earned a lot of respect from the audience for his seriousness.
