In pursuit of knowing the magic of "Veena"

Passion knows no limits.. it cuts through all kinds of barriers.

Another dream of mine, was to learn to play the Veena. This desire took shape accidentally in 2010, when I realized that it is compulsory to learn an instrument to pursue the Bachelors in Music course.

With God's grace, I managed to retrieve a beautiful Tanjavoor veena to play and am also blessed to find a teacher who resides in close proximity, Mrs. Radha Ramchandran, who devotes her time, completely to help me grow in the art of playing the Saraswati Veena.

I am happy to have progressed well with her help on this front. I cleared my exams at the University of Madras in Veena as well..which I consider an achievement, having started so late to understand the Veena playing technique.
