“When things get bad, you create a perceived enemy, especially when there is resounding endorsement from all quarters.”

“Son, remember that all the ragas of the universe lie inside this wooden instrument. You merely have to release them, one by one.”

“I started with the first note, sa. On the first day, to my dismay, Dhondutai made me sing only the base note- the tonal pillar of Indian music which remains unchanged, constant, reliable, and stoically oblivious to the whims and fancies of the other notes. It is the foundation, the first and last note, the point at which the circle begins and ends. Within the boundaries of sa, one can play out all of life's dramas and moods. But every time one gets back to it, there is a sense of closure- like coming home after a long and exciting journey.”
