So, in the southern part of India - especially the Brahmin families, have this tradition of sending their children to every art class such as Singing, Dancing, Painting, and the list goes on and on.

Oh! wait! no not everything! no acting! that is out of the list.
My mom did the same. She sent me to learn every little thing, when I was 5 years old. I joined music vocals, dance, art & craft and music instrumentals. She herself being a bharatanatyam dancer, it was less of a pain to travel as I got trained under her in dance.

This went on for a few years and studies came in and swallowed the time. This obviously reduced the time I could dedicate for the art classes. So, my parents took this hard decision to reduce the number of art related extra curricular classes, based on my interest level. The first thing that went out of my list was dance. Oh yeah! I could run better than I could dance.

One down! Three up!

Oh man! It's India! Studies is valued more than extra curricular! School expects a 5th grader to be in the 10th grade standards. Isn't it?
It was that time to drop another and it was art & craft. Though I was good at it, that wasn't something I did with passion. So, yes! art & craft, you are out!

Two down! Two up!

I was in 6th grade and guess what? there was a twist in my life. I had that PASSION FOR MUSIC that I used to wake up at 3:00 AM early in the morning and practice music vocals. I know I used to entertain the ghosts.

India is known for its wide variety of festivals. My parents, I and my brother went to the spiritual place during one of the festivals and there were prayers going on. After a bit, they asked if someone could sing and that was part of the tradition. So, I decided to sing. I started and it drew the attention of the crowd instantaneously, something which I never expected nor have I experienced that before. All went good, I completed singing and to all of our surprise, a middle-aged man walked up to me and offered me with a chance to perform a 2-hour concert at one of the high standing stages in the capital of the state.

That was the moment I realized my passion, devotion, dedication, and love for music. Since then, I started performing and I have given around 100 concerts. Having trained in western classical, I have done playback singing (recordings) for movies, albums and Jingles.

I am a Business Woman but music is something that drives me to do anything and everything in life.

So, I decided to start a blog and voice my views on different songs (all genres, all languages, all countries), a little different approach to music. I really hope all of you like it.
