Hey Haider, If what you say is true and U indeed come from such a great family then I guess, it's a really precious mail from you to the group. I guess, I have read references about Patiyala Gharana in some article in India today long back. Though I do not follow Hundustani music very much, nevertheless I love classical music and I listen to carnatic music a lot.
The reason I write this mail is to ask Vijay/Rano and others here to put across to ARR about your mail so that if he finds time he can read your mail and might even feel to reply to you personally. AIMHO.
