[3/6] “I wear many hats—musician, performer, teacher, producer, director. It can be challenging juggling these roles while finding the right platforms to showcase my work. This 20-year journey with Kalaa Utsavam has been one of learning, and I’ve expanded my capabilities in a way that I couldn't achieve elsewhere, meeting collaborators from Singapore and the world. 

I've always dreamt of being on the Concert Hall stage, then I could say that I’ve performed at all of Esplanade's venues! I'm thankful to finally achieve this, especially for the festival's milestone 20th and such a significant performance. The ancient Indian sages described the earth as the nurturer of life, and Bhumi Pranām is but another humble musical tribute to this planet.” – Nawaz Mirajkar, Temple of Fine Arts
