Anil shared with us how far removed he was from music and his beloved piano just 15 years ago, despite a prodigious start when he was just three. It was Mandolin U.Srinivas who gave Anil "the gift of re-infusing music in his Life" - one night in New York, when Anil was depressed, spaced out and totally lost. He was struggling with a PhD that made no sense. Srinivas asked him to play the piano. And that was it! The most important point Anil made last evening was this: "If you have clarity on what is your bliss, and when you are following it, then nothing else really matters. Nothing else comes in the way!"
