About Me

Being an Indian, I have a deep inclination towards Indian classical music. I had the opportunity & time space to pick Sitar, an Indian classical string instrument & learn the Rudiments of Raga. This made me familiar with the world of Ragaas compositions, Raagas ornamentation and above all love for them.You can DOWNLOAD Basic Details at the linkhttp://www.4shared.com/file/43972043/261b47ff/Presentati on_Improvised.html---------------------------------------www .orkut.com (JOIN MY COMMUNITIES)JOIN KAPIL's COMMUNITY - http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=47376201 JOIN GUITARMONK COMMUNITY - http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=43829254------------ ---------------------------Guitar College (STATE AWARDED BY DELHI CHIEF MINISTER, SMT.

My Interests

Playing guitar, reading & writing, swimming, thinking & business is what drives me on. I will like to travel a lot but I want to travel inside me first. href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY2 9t" target="_blank"'The most beautiful things of life are the most simplest' - & I realized this quotation most of the times.

I'd like to meet:

People who are independent selves in themselves i.e. in thinking, attitude & approach."Just as a candle cannot burn without light, a man cannot live without spirituality"http://friendster.com/guitarmonk

Music:

Love all types of music from classical to rock, jazz, pop, fusion, folk, country, blues & techno. I enjoy playing strings be it sitar or guitar. Enjoys listening flute, tabla, drums, sarod, veena, piano. I feel relaxed with natural sounds of river, waterfall, tides, birds, ocean, chineses bells, choir, sitar strings, veena, Israaj & sarangi.I love people who has a great respect for art & artist. The world of music is the world of peace, love & creativity. It's the womb of a mother who gives us an aroma of security. contentment at the price of ego & steals the inner emptiness that starves humans to war, abuses & restlessness.
Get this video and more at MySpace.comMy favourite tunes are from the works of Yanni, Beethoven, Mozart & anything which has a substance of sincerity & serenity. Music is both a release & meditation to me.Ragas of Indian classical music & harmonies in western classical are my two souls of guitar music, which I adapt & rejoices at. Life should be more richer for these two styles of music.

Movies:

Used to watch a lot of movies (Primarily Indian) but not now. I would rather like to compose my own movie later. I am fond of writing scripts & creatng weird concepts which I often run in mind as a movie. I have two movies in my mind one relates to "Discovery of an inner musician" & other based on "human relationships"

Television:

I accidentally watch discovery or some music album video or appreciate & love to watch discussions shows - concerning economy based disussions or relational issue, hot debates & interviews of influential personalities. I love to listen the perspective of experienced & specialized people in their trade & here I think that Television helps greatly to be accessible to plenty good personalities - their visions & their ideas.

Books:

Love reading Osho books & have been reading them a lot for the past 7-8 years. I really have less time to study apart from my subjects & as such whenever I get time, I read different categories of magazines if found interesting.I am also writing music books & composing some weird concept in the market for the music publishers. The music that you are listening at my profile background is something which is I played on spanish guitar. I am transcribing Indian classical Ragas on International language of music, & applying some abstract music of Sitar on guitar. That is what my driving force & my 5th book is specifically based on Raga transcriptions.

Heroes:

I search the Hero in myself
