Dear Access Indian Friends, Today as I was again going through the
introductory mail I received from Madam Kiran, I realized that in my very first
mail, I forgot to provide a proper self-introduction as required by Access
India. To start, I am Dr. Yogesh Sharma, working as assistant professor in the
department of postgraduate studies in Instrumental Music at Govt. College for
Women, Ludhiana, Punjab. As you know, Punjabies are famous for their jolly
nature and rich food. As far as nature is concerned, I always try to live up to
the reputation of my state, and as far as the food is concerned, I would rather
love to prove it whenever I have the honor of being your host on your visit to
Punjab.
about educational background, I have done Masters in Music Vocal as well
as Instrumental from Punjab University, Chandigarh and later my M. Phil and Ph.
D. from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. Like me, my younger sister, Nimita
is also visually challenged and has the same educational qualifications as
myself. By the grace of God, we both have been 5 times gold medalists from our
Universities.Apart from that, Nimita holds National Championship in Light Vocal
Music in the National Youth Festival held at the University of Rurki in 1990
and I hold India's Color in Instrumental Music [Sitaar Vaadan] in the Thumri
National Festival held at Karnaal, Harina. We both have been the top Scorers in
the Close Up Antakshari new year special episodes along with the famous
Bollywood personalities like Mr. Anupam Khaer, Mrs. Ila Arun, Mr. Kumar Sanu
and Mrs Padmini Kolhapuri. The programme was divided in to 2 episodes and
telecast from the international TV Channel, Zee TV in December,1998. These
days, Nimita is working as assistant professor and head Dept. of Music Vocal in
Govt. College for Women.
Now about family Background, our father, Late Dr. R. Paul was an eminent
scholar of Chemistry and retired as Head Dept. of Applied Sciences at Guru
Nanak Engineering College, Ludhiana. He wrote more than 16 books on his
subject, some of which are still selling hot in market. Our Mother, Mrs.
Santosh Sharma has been a student of Priyaag Sangeet Samiti, Ilahabad, a
premier university of Music and Dance in India. Later on, she retired as
principal of Govt. Senior Secondary School for Girls, Ludhiana. Obviously, both
our parents have been our inspiration and have worked very hard in helping us
to achieve our educational goals.
We are regular performers in Vocal and Instrumental Music [both Light and
Classical] from Akashvani and Door Darshan. As regards our hobbies, I like to
compose music for Hindi and Urdu poetry as well as write Poetry myself. Nimita
likes to visit new places and practice Yoga. Our other hobbies include
Computer,current affairs, Comedy TV Serials and collecting recordings of grate
Musicians.
As we have been recently introduced to Access India by some of our
friends, we are deeply impressed by the grate informative work being
accomplished by it at such a vast level. We extend our heartiest gratitude and
best wishes to you and your Grate Organization. Warm Regards.
Yours truly, Dr. Yogesh and Dr. Nimita Sharma, from Ludhiana,
Punjab.
