PEKAR SONG OF THE CLAY PLOT: MY JOURNEY WITH THE GHATAM by Sumana Chandrashekar SPEAKING TIGER ₹599;276 pages
TALL BEGAN WITH A RECURRING. RESTLESS DREAM. On a warm March night in 2008, Sumana Chandrashekar woke up to find her fingers moving on her belly, with the sounds of the ghatam-the clay pot used as a percussion instrument in Carnatic music-ringing in her ears. The dream kept pulling her back in, until Chandrashekar, an accomplished Carnatic vocalist, realised that it was a calling she couldn't ignore.
