About this user

South Asian, interested in all form of South Asian art and culture.... bhajans, qawaalis, ghazals, khayal (some Bollywood--but only the good songs). I'm completely secular and believe religion is the personal belief of individuals and not part of the public sphere. I believe in the preachings of the great Sufi saints and bhakti poets such as Meerabai and Bhagat Kabir

I don't believe in Indian or Pakistani chauvinism (or chauvinism of any other kind for that matter), we are the same people really and should focus on what unites rather than divides.

I have been trained in Hindustani Classical Music, under the auspices of Ustaad Hamid Hossain in Washington DC. Am working on practicing and refining my skills and love of music:)
