Kala Ramesh  Searching—the one word that seems to say everything about me. I went through the path of Indian Classical Music, first instrumental then vocal, from South Indian Classical crossed over to North Indian Classical music, performed in various cities in India. Then plunged into Yoga, Hindu Philosophy and Vipassana—and this accidentally led me to haiku in 2005, and since then it has been haiku, senryu, tanka, haibun and renku that I breathe. _kala
