Arangetrams - Boon or Bane?

Arangetram ('aranga' + 'etram') or in simple English, 'ascending the stage'. This is a sacred word for anyone associated with Indian classical fine arts. It could be a Natyam arangetram, vocal arangetram, mridangram arangetram etc. Essentially, Arangetram is ascending the stage for the first time to give your maiden solo full-length performance.
