California-based non-profit runs inclusive concert in Chennai for the Marghazhi season
The Hindu
Marghazhi Matram seeks to provide musicians with disabilities a platform to perform; it is part of an initiative that has on board around 200 musicians from four continents
Ranjini Kaushik has not realised the Frostian ideal of fusing vocation and avocation, but she could not care less. She has let them run on parallel tracks — tracks that cannot intersect except in rare circumstances.
A California-based biochemist, Ranjini engages with visual and performing arts as an enthusiast, admittedly taking a dilettante interest in various aspects of it.
“I have a doctorate in biochemistry and worked for 15 to 20 years in a corporate environment, in a biotech company. I dabble with the arts and do learn music every once in a while,” discloses Ranjini, who grew up at Sundar Nagar in Guindy, and holds a flat in Abhiramapuram, which she and her family returns to, particularly during the Marghazhi season.
