“The experience was quite interesting.  I had the opportunity to show Divya, my studio and my collection of flutes.  The best part however was that, the whole session seemed just like a chat with a friend.  The photo shoot at the rocks was indeed very exciting. I feel humbled to have been profiled by such an esteemed publication and in a column which has previously had articles on people like Thota Tharani, Rajeev Menon and the like.”

“Today also marks the launch of my official website, www.naviniyer.com.  Work is still being done on the videos, images and exclusive downloads for the media page, which will be up and running very soon. Do bear with me for that and i promise it will be worth the wait.”
