    @kkrish
    Wow! In my opinion singing is the best talent as it can be done anytime anywhere without the need for any specific equipment and it is enjoyed my most people. What more do you need to realise God? You are blessed :)

    ( Even otherwise, you are hanging around His abode in space. Watch out, you may bump into Him one of these days!!!)

    Thank you Geeta.
    You are right. The air I breathe, every grain I eat, every human I meet, every leaf, flower, and grain of sand. Every sound from the sweet cuckoo, or the hoarse croak of a frog, from a musical instrument or a vocal chord. Where is God not present?
    We all are blessed.

    @Thyagarajan

    Sir, both my sisters are trained in Carnatic vocals and I am the only one amongst siblings who doesn't sing:( I learnt vocals up to 3-4 keertanas and discontinued.

    You seem to have an in depth knowledge; have you learnt it? If so, :clapclap:

    Singers are one people whom I envy a lot :shocked:
    We can learn the art of cooking, stitching , dancing and even creativity to a certain extent.
    I feel singing is the only talent that cannot be learned or attempted if one is not gifted with the same.
    We can even prepare ourselves to do some sports ( mild physical activity) with sheer hardwork but no hardwork and efforts can make you a singer unless you are gifted with a good voice.
