So many pretend to be musician and seek the limelight when merit there is none but there is the other one, a genius father's genius daughter, never opening up to the limelight but shrinking from it as she dived deep in the ocean of music in eternal sadhana to fulfil her father's one wish of her to dedicate her life and learning to the discovery of the Goddess Saraswati in her music. She is still with us but far far away in her reclusive existence beyond ordinary or even extraordinary reach. Her surbahar swelled oceanic waves across the hearts and souls of those that were privy to her home performances. Oh, she is still with us! Must she not be forthwith awarded the Bharat Ratna which, leave her aside, her very disciples have deserved? Or, shall it be once more a trifle too late when the authorities wake up?
Who is she?
