The Spellemannprisen Awards, often dubbed the Norwegian Grammy Awards, celebrate outstanding Norwegian music artists annually. This year, 9 Grader Nord – meaning 9 Grader Nord in Tamil – has also been awarded this year to the two-girl band Mira Thiruchelvam and Deepha Thiruchelvam.

Founders and pillars of this musical endeavour, Mira Thiruchelvam and Deepha Thiruchelvam, were interviewed by Kulasegaram Sanchayan in 2019. Here's a revisit to that insightful conversation.
