I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING SINGING FROM 2002. I WAS PUSHED BY A FRIEND TO LEARN  CLASSICAL AS HE THOUGHT I SING GOOD AND I CAN IMPROVE IT MORE BY LEARNING HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL ........... SO I STARTED LEARNING AS A HOBBY .... NOW I M HERE IN MY 5TH YEAR OF MY VISHARAD PRATHAM AND TODAY SINGING AND MOST IMPORTANT TEACHING PEOPLE MUSIC IN DIFFERENT FORM.....AND I  M MORE HAPPY TO SAY THAT I EVEN STARTED TEACHING PEOPLE OUTSIDE INDIA WHO WANTED TO LEARN HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL BUT DIDNT HAVE ANY MEDIUM TO LEARN.......THIS IS WHAT I DO PART TIME.....THOUGH EVEN NOW I THINK I NEED MORE AND MORE PRACTICE BUT THIS IS WHAT I HAVE.......THE ONLY THING I LEARNT IS " ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN ANY THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD"

PS.. I JUST PASSED MY MADHAYAMA - PURNA IN DISTINTION ie MY 4TH YR
