    • If I could learn to play a musical instrument which one would it be? And why?
      Well,
      I do play the violin.
      In the beginning it was the need to establish my own identity when my peers and cousins were busy plucking the strings of a veena. More over I hated singing which was necessary for me to complete my dancing certification. Of course the dancing certification was important to my mom.
      The alternate for the vocal lessons was I had to know a musical instrument. I picked the violin because my grandmother was a violinist.
      But about four years ago, I started learning the Veena. It was quite amazing once I started learning my daughters accompanied me for a class each and both of them just took to the instrument as if, they were playing it right from birth.!!
