The art of listening music is a gift of nature
like the art of creating music.
Man does not learn music but he feels it.

Sandra Kring, the world famous writer of Carry Me Home
and The Book of Bright Ideas comments on my writing..
“Dear Shaji
I came across your blog and read your entry about your father and radios.
My, what a poignant story! Although it wasn’t an intentional gift,
from your father’s blood came your love of music.
And from the angst-filled empty space where a loving father should have been, came your gift for storytelling.
How mysterious and amazing it all is, the way such rich gifts can form out of nothingness”
