Excerpts from the Video Interview:

When did you start your musical journey?
My parents initiated me into this stream at a very young age with Rukmini Rajagopalan . I used to return home and practice after every class. I enjoyed singing and that made me delve into music.

Can you tell us about your tutelage under Sanjay Subramaniam?
He is a wonderful guru and feeds me with chaste music. I am trying to imbibe the intricacies from him.

How are the practice sessions these days.?
Since I am a software professional. I am straddling two streams with care and effort.

Your thoughts on participating in competitions?
We are able to learn new songs and practice a lot. I am never under any pressure of winning any prize. It gives us a lot of exposure and mere participation itself is educative.

How do you prepare for a concert?
I get all the songs from my guru and perform with his approval.
