• Please begin by telling us anything you would like to about yourself. Age, place of birth, residence, etc. 63 years – Madurai, India – Tuticorin, India.
• What made you decide to play the violin? When I was 12 years old, for the first time, I attended a live carnatic music concert and there I was attracted by the violin.
• How long have you been playing the violin? Since August 12, 2010.
• How often do you play? How long are your practice sessions? Before February 2012, I was practicing a total of an hour every day. Now I practice 3 hrs a day.
• In your opinion, what's your proficiency on the violin? If there is an Intermediate and Advanced category in the Beginner’s section, I may be classified under Advanced Beginner category.
• Your greatest personal experience with playing? It happened one day in May 2012. My violin came alive. I could generate sweet sound and was smooth to play and I wanted to go on and on and on..

What an interesting interview Suresh! Some very interesting bits. And apparently you plan to live a few hundred years; best of luck with that, lol. I wish for the same!
Very nice interview, Suresh. Good luck with longevity, i'm working on that myself.
Sound's like you have a ridgid practice schedule. Keep it up, young man.
Good to met you, Suresh. Yes playing outside is a public performance. You need to put your case on the ground for people to throw money in when you practice then you will be a professional since you will be getting paid for playing. I tried that once but they paid me to stop playing.
Nice to meet You at last, Suresh, our mysterious gentleman!
• Would you please share with us information about your violin and bow and if you have several please tell us about them as well. Mine is a Granada MV888 violin, made in China. It cost me $100. I am using the heavy bow that came with it. I like my violin and the bow.
Great! You have a natural ability to be a happy person! 
Thank You for the interview, Suresh!

Love it Suresh, thanks for sharing. This idea of FM to share a "meet your fellows" is a great idea. I love finding out what makes others "tick".
What a diverse bunch we are!!
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....
