Sweet melodies

Youth are forever exhorted to excel in any nation. This is true of the young in our country as well.

The inter-pre-University College level music competition drew 300 students from 30 PU colleges in Dakshina Kannada.

The participants had to showcase their talents in devotional songs, light songs, folk songs, group songs, film songs and solo.

Madhava Pai hailing from a college in Manipal held the audience spellbound with his rendition of "Mungaru Mannige', a Kannada song. Yeshawasni of Canara College, Mangalore gave voice to Koo-hoo Kogili. Sri Latha from S.D.M. Ujire sang a devotional song. Pavithra from Govinddasa College, Surathkal sang a Janapada song. Another Janapada song delighted the audience by Akshaya, Alva's College, Moodabidri.

The competition which started in the morning was a fruitful day for budding singers of Mangalore.
