"Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.” ― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
"Carnatic music is a genre that many people appreciate because it takes one's unconditional dedication and time to sink in such a complex and exquisite style of music. Once you grasp the nuances of this magical genre, you're trapped! While being one of the board members of Maduradhvani, my goal is to help achieve one's aspirations as we provide them with a platform to further them in their musical journey."
