About Me

My photo
Raj
I am a person with varied interests. Music is my breath and though I like all kinds of music, I am enamoured of the variety and the depth of Indian Classical music.As far as Film music is concerned, I love Old songs and ILaiyaraaja-whom I consider as one of the best composers in the world- is my favourite composer. I love travelling and meeting new people . A lover of nature, I prefer those long walks.
