		<description><![CDATA[
Last month, out of the blue, the media came up with a pleasant surprise for classical musicians. Outlook (Issue dated September 25,  2006) featured “Heir Gloom”, a cover story on Indian classical music, a subject shunned by most Indian publications on the grounds that readers no longer find it of any interest.

		<description><![CDATA[Do you remember &#8220;Ali More Angana&#8221;? For those who dont, its an Indipop album I recorded in 1996 and the title track became both popular and controversial, if the media is to be believed.
