a bit convoluted but 13:04 and you finally made a fantastic point about our hobbies and interests and how important it is to pursue and persevere at our passions... too often, we allow the immediate to overtake the important... thanks for highlighting it. So glad you survived your heart-attack... 34 is much too young. Take care Harish and looking forward to hearing more of your music

SINGING IS NOT EASY IF YOU SING REALLY THE SONG WILL MASMERIZE THE AUDIANCE BUT WILL TAKE A TOLL IN YOU.
