Lakshmi and her Vina

We were invited to Sister Lakshmi's home to listen to her sing and play the Veena. Nikhil was our guide to her home. We didn't know she was preparing lunch for us. It's the way of the Indian people to feed you. Our host will never eat with us. Guests must eat first. Nikhil loves music and would like to do something with it for his career. He's a choreographer of dance and he sings. He has a great voice. Sister Lakshmi also sings India Classical and is teaching Nikhil the technique. He would love to go to the A.R. Rahman school of Music in Chennai. Nikhil has become very good with the organ and plays for sacrament in his branch.
This is Sister Lakshmi with her Veena. I have included a video of her playing below.
