• 1) When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?

  Developed a passion for music when I was very young. I probably grew up with music. My day started with Musical invocation and prayer and the chanting of 'Om' which my whole family did. It worked as a beginning lesson for voice culture. Music was a part of my growth. I heard my elder sister playing sitar when I was in grade 6th. I used to play it when she was not around. This is how my love for Sitar developed.

  When I joined the college every music happening in my senior classes attracted me. So, after attending my own class I would often stand outside the classrooms of the students doing masters in music. Sometimes finding me standing outside the lecture room, the lecturer would let me inside the class and sit. But I was not allowed to play because I was doing My bachelor Course. This way I could listen to what my seniors were playing and gave me targets to achieve. I was loved and appreciated bye all the lectures in the college due to my love for music, hard work, and perseverance.
