I am a jack of all arts but master of none. Following are some of my endeavors.

bullet

I learnt to play Carnatic music on the saxophone from none other than Sri. Kadri Gopalnath. Sri. Kadri Gopalnath is one of the best personalities I have ever met in my life. Although being the uncrowned king of the Indian classical (Instrumental) music, he is one of the most humble, simple and scintillating person I have ever met. I spent most of my time with him for over two years by serving him as his student and his personal assistant like an olden day shisya.

 

bullet I am an amateur painter interested in painting line drawings and silhouettes. I particularly enjoy facsimileing Silpi's paintings. Silpi Mahadevan, not known to many, was a disciple of Mali and was popular among contemporary artists for his line art. There is hardly a Hindu deity or a temple in India that he hasn't sketched.

 

bullet My father wanted me to learn the sacred Vedas at an age when I wasn't interested in it. He made me attend classes for few months. I learnt Sri Rudram and Sri Vishnu Sahasranama from a Vedic pundit. Since I was not interested in it then, I discontinued it against my father's wish. I now repent for it and have begun learning myself from cassettes and online resources. One of the best online resource for learning Vaishnavaite slokas is the prapatti.com.

 

bullet I learnt karate from Sensei Siva Balan (III Dan), at Shihan Hussaini's Exerkai Issinryu.

 

bullet I like the infinite number series like pi and prime numbers. Am an elite member of the Pi 100 club. I have also tried writing some programs to visualize pi and prime numbers in 2D and 3D space.
