Raghu - on LifeIsMusic

Seeing Raghu on the maiden venture of LifeIsMusic was a really really heartening feeling.

LifeIsMusic is an online video platform hosted by the Essel Group to search for India’s original music talent and set up a most-elite band to be mentored by three renowned maestros - Louiz Banks, Taufiq Qureshi and Purbayan Chatterjee

Couldn't put the link on the picture, so please use this:  Raghuraman Ramasubramanian, Guitarist

Raghu's is a classic story of follow your passion and your dream to the exclusion of almost everything else..........He almost chanced upon his passion during his late teens, (apparently finding an old guitar lying around in the library), went at it with focus and dedication, literally playing till his fingers bled ( and pretty much chose to stay self taught ),  stayed clear, calm and quiet through the process of conflict and pressure of a difficult choice....... of music and not engineering (which he did too).

One of the few I've seen follow his desire, for the sheer love of  music, no specific goal, seemingly seeing nothing but the guitar in hand.

Kudos Raghu, Proud of You ...........Enjoy the journey and Good luck  !!

I cannot not give credit here to my dear friend Girija, who has stood by him through all those years. She held out against immense pressure from family and friends......  not to speak of her own deep fears and misgivings, which would surface ever so often, sometimes moving her to tears. Take a bow lady :)
