CHENNAI: Renowned percussionist Sivamani turns an ‘agitating’ baggage delay into a delightful experience with his impromptu performance at Kochi airport.
“It’s been 40 minutes since we landed at Kochi airport, and we are still waiting for our bags to come out. Instead of getting agitated we are getting entertained by a fellow passenger,” wrote Sheetal Mehta on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a short clip of Sivamani’s performance.
