Appreciation & Thank You

One of the important gestures a student should offer to his or her teacher is gratitude. A humble gesture goes a long way in lowering our ``self'' so that a teacher could input more knowledge easily. A selfless act of ensuring transferring of subtle energy by means of `inner'' working that normal could not grapple with. In this we take this opportunity to express our gratitude and thank you to our vocal and veena teacher, Ms Yogeswari for providing us with her continuous best effort criss-crossing the JB-Singapore causeway to impart divine musical knowledge to us here, TFA(JB). We thank her from bottom of our hearts!

Thank You Teacher!

Train, Tune The Mind & Muscle To Perfection

My music teacher says, ``Always keep practicing. No short cut to be a better performer than do it again and again and again no matter hard it is. One day you will be that''

Practice, Practice & More Practice..

Practice makes perfect! An increased frequency of practice sessions to ensure ``smooth'' rendition and balance coordination. Students are indeed worked hard to make sure, good performance is produced.

Deva, Madhu and Mogan

I had a wonderful day in Klang, last weekend at Mogan's place with Madhu and Deva. We drove down to attend a wedding reception. No overnight, just drive early in the morning and back the same day (early morning the following day). Just 3 hours of sleep and off to work with a heavy eyes and sloppy mind (smile) - lack of sleep. Madhu was ``steely'' in his driver's seat while Deva was in ``Devaloka'' along on the return journey! Pictures taken as we're preparing to attend the reception.
