Dear Mr. and Mrs. Obama, Thank you for sending me Christmas and New Year greetings yet again. Welcome back to India... Would have loved to host you at my concert in Baroda on the 26th!

My biggest dream to connect people through music has come true. In a world where there are enough reasons to separate us, the Oscars have unified us.

These are the Rad instruments that are dying out in India. So, it's going well and I think now we are increasing the number of kids we have taught and of course we are helping out with other things too. It's based in India now. [The idea is to] perfect it in one place and then we'll expand.

All my life I have had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I am here

I like music that is able to stir my soul. My music is a spiritual exercise

I love the voice - it’s the most perfect instrument ever heard. It’s God given.

Certain things are done intentionally opposite - like there's no sound at the end or synthesizers or all that stuff. Anything that drowns the movie, no. Anything that makes you sit up and watch it, yes. So, some are expecting a very sad theme going on.
