Tell us a bit about yourself?
I am a musician trying to make things work without compromising on my beliefs.... :) Trying to do the best I can do under the circumstances.
Study/professional background?
I have done my Masters in Information Systems Management from Carnegie Mellon University.
How old were you when you started playing guitar and what kind of guitar was that?
I believe it was the winter of 1991. Don’t even ask about my first guitar. It was given to me by a dear friend and the strings were like at least 3 inches above the fret board if not more. But my passion was such that I still played on it and learned how to control my bends. So hats off to it no matter how bad it was.
