Random raga quote: “At ITC I played in a student competition that Shivkumar-ji was judging…he told me: ‘As you move upwards – higher in the scale – then tilt your head down.’ Let me explain – the Sharma family are from the mountains in Kashmir. Shiv-ji’s father taught him that as you move higher up a mountain, there is more and more to look at beneath you. And once you’re at the top, you can only look downwards. You must balance yourself – or else you will fall too quick!” (Debasmita Bhattacharya)
