About Me

        I feel life is for living! I love fruits, flowers and vegetables while spices and medicinal plants supplement my professional life as condiments.Nature in its elegance enthralls me with a million possibilities. The myriad colors of flowers never fail to fascinate me. Carnatic Music gives vent to my Soul's search for inner peace! Incidentally when I offer my songs to The Lord in temples, other listeners feel enabled in thinking about The Lord.

        I want to explore the world in terms of its variety in the Nature's offerings, I like growing plants and it gives me happiness to see the fruits of the labor. Travelling excites me since I get to see new and different species wherever I go.

        I like to spend time with close friends and we venture out for long walks with endless discussion on anything from economics to enlightenment!

        One of my favorite tourist spot is the well-stocked kitchen to try my hand in preparing delicacies, sweet-toothed is an understatement!

        Fields which yield lure me and I enjoy cultivating with a song to prop up the growth faster! Life is for Living.

Music Portfolio

        Carnatic Music has always been my love life from my adolescent days and I have been learning music for the past 10 years with some gaps in-between. I now have a basic understanding of Ragam-niraval-swaram and trying to improve my skills in that area. I have performed in various temple functions for the pleasure of the Lord and in several marriages to remind public about The Lord. I sing the songs composed by the Mummurthigal, Annamachariar, Sri Andal Nachiar, Uthukadu Venkata Subbaiyar, Purandaradasar and several other Saints. I also love teaching young children and started regular classes since 2013.
