"I've only ever had three piano teachers in my life: Enid Roberts, a frail, old Australian woman who ran a small music school out of her own home in Pune, India. Veera Pooniwala, a Parsi who herself studied with Roberts. And Glenn Gould." - Karishmeh Felfeli

Shadaan Felfeli - The Virgin and the Vulture

I have one brother. His name is Shadaan Felfeli, and as a teacher of mine said many, many years ago after she heard him sing and act when he was only 10 years old "Karishmeh, you are nothing compared to your talented brother". I was twelve years old, and as sensitive a kid as they come - not to mention that she was my singing teacher and I idolized her! So of course I burst into tears afterwards and was very upset. As the years passed, I realized she was completely right - as far as creativity and talent goes, Shadaan is miles ahead.


Even though that woman was a moron for saying something so ignorant, ha! So - on that note, if you happen to be in Dublin on Sunday 21st March (more about the significance of this date later on), go along to:
