Hindustani classical vocalist Bhimsen Joshi has been awarded India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna.
I am told that he is only the second person from the state of Karnataka to get this honor, ther other being M. Vishveshwariah.
Congratulations Bhimsenji, and thank you for showing us glimpses of heaven all these years!
