From the 300 plus episodes of ‘Edhe Thumbi Haduvenu’ no dramatic musical reality show in ETV Kannada spread over a period of nine years I have become a good man. This is what people say after watching program. Dr SPB disclosed to the media persons on the sets of the famous musical program for children that he anchors at Kanteerava studios on Thursday afternoon.

‘I have gone through introspection in life’. I have told what I believed and practiced. Most of them have become very close to the hearts of people. I have seen the Kannada cinema industry very closely in my career of 42 years of singing. I see 75 percent success of ‘Edhe Thumbi Haduvenu’ every Sunday musical talent hunt program. I have seen better singers than me. I have learnt so many things in the literature area with my friend Jayanth Kaikini who is like historian to me sitting next to in the musical shows. What we have done is fine tuning of little singers. There was honesty and transparency in conducting this program observes Dr SPB. As long as I enjoy conducting this type of program I will be taking up assignments quipped the magnificent singer of this nation Dr SPB.

Dr SPB seems to be very down to earth in his observations is not ready to believe the songs sung by children that are already popular from top ranking singers are a pressure. This has nothing to do with the academic education. For music there is no starting or ending level. Very young singers sing better than seniors he pointed.

What next after such a mammoth reality show ‘Edhe Thumbi Hadidhenu’? Dr SPB is planning for a music based program for physically challenged, blind and people who are plus 50 but not got platform to sing.
