Do you play any musical Instruments?

I love music, and yes it can surely help to change the mood.

Personally I can play piano.. But I am not expert or learned person. Just can play few tunes. 

I used to play Veena  and Sitar while I was in high school and college, used to take part in concerts ...I still have my Veena and do play it occasionally...Unless you dedicate time for your hobbies it is not possible to pursue it like you did before you got married , had children and get immersed in your home and career..

I play western percussion instruments like Jazz drums, bongos and congas. Indian percussion instrument Duff also I can play. I was in a group sent to NEFA border to entertain the jawans during Indo -Pak war by the Govt. of Odisha. After that, I became a professional. Played several nightclubs in Hyderabad and Vizag.

True, once you are busy with your family and job, its really hard to have time for personal hobby and interest.

Its really great to know that your passion become your profession. All the best and good luck. 

It's proved scientifically even the animals and trees respond to music.

It is such an honor to have such a renown person in the community. It comes as a surprise and a great inspiration in the Boddunan fraternity. Which Instrument do you like personally uncle...?

It is very exciting to know such a wonderful and mystic thing. It just means that we can give back something to the so termed non living things with our efforts.

 I think though there is a family it is not impossible to stake some time for our passion. If we are having good grip over the music Instruments we can have the family members trained or open up a small classes like thing for the local community. It would be a great delight to teach as well as enjoy the profession. Is it not....?

Trees and animals living organisms . 

I had a desire since childhood that I could learn to play harmonium but could as I never could find a teacher nearby and now I dont get the time to learn it but now I wish I could let my kids learn to play some musical instrument and especially my daughter may be able to learn some classical dance as we are planning to join her some classes in summer vacations.

That's the good idea sj.. Music and dancing is the best activity kids can do in the vacation time.

That's really great SJ... No wonder she wants the same for your daughter. Go for it.

Yes Anand I have heard of an institute through which one can do graduation in classical dance. I know a girl who has done graduation from it and I wonder when I see her going abroad frequently just to perform.

Even though I can’t play any instrument, I love music and enjoy it with my heart in its different moods and vibrations. Music is a divine blessing and the common language of the world that connects the individual soul with the universal consciousness.

Yes. Music has no barriers. Many seers of yore took to music in order to be with the divinity. Examples are Thygaraja, Annamacharya to name a few.

Even I cannot play any instrument but I love music and it's the best remedy to meditate and kill loneliness.

Being a part of music itself is good. You need not be a connoisseur.
