I am delighted to participate in the function to pay homage to Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata to mark the 100th death anniversary of the great soul and one of the proud sons of India. I am fortunate to be with the members of the TATA family, organizers, industrialists, scientists, educationists and other distinguished guests.

Lives that can change

I am delighted to participate in the inauguration of Purandara Bhavana of Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha. My greetings to the pioneers who conceived and established this Sangeetha Sabha, artistes, music lovers and distinguished guests participating in this function.

Music, particularly carnatic music elevates human soul. I am reminded of the Rumi?s poem which reads as follows:

"Angel is free because of his knowledge, 
The beast because of his ignorance, 
Between the two remains the son of man to struggle? 
How to come out of this human struggle"
