Bapu Padmanabha Little did any one realize that a young lad from tinsel town in Karnataka, whose younger sister bought him a small flute from a village fair, will reach to the heights of one of the favourite disciples of Pt.Hariprasad Chaurasia.Padmanabha Bapu, affectionately known as “Bapu” was studying tool engineering in Hospet(Karnataka). His knowledge of music was limited to the notes of harmonium taught by his grand father. He became so much obsessed with the flute that he started treating his idol Pt.Hariprasad Chaurasia,as his Guru in absentia. He purchased all audio cassettes of Hariji and started imitating his style, he use to practice for hours together and side by side he was continuously searching for a formal flute teacher within Karnataka.The search however brought no results because he was actually fated to become a disciple of his idol Hariji. In August 1999,while pursuing 7th semester of his tool engineering programme, his urge brought him to Bombay. Initially he had to face disappointment of not being able to seek a meeting with Hariji and he returned to his college. Bapu was, however in no mood to give up and he was finally able to meet Panditji who admitted him to his class after the demonstration recital. Since this trip to Bombay was without the knowledge and consent of his parents, Bapu had no money with him. He use to attend Hariji’s classes in the morning and work as a waiter(with pride)in a small restaurant, earning just enough to sustai
