My father had an album collection that spanned many languages. He grew up in Nellore and spoke Telugu, but developed a great appreciation for Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi and other languages.
My brother has inherited the same interests, and he has an amazing repertoire of langauge skills and appreciation. Today he sent me some Bengali songs, including some private compositions of Salil Choudary, and a song sung by Raj Kapoor. I had not even know that he had sung a song.
I am simply awe-struck by the talent of my brother. It is the world's loss that he has not yet realized his full potential.
