Sushma opens up about quitting her Big Four accounting job to pursue music full time, her passion for sustainability and the environment, as well as preserving traditional artforms. She even opens up about the often problematic power dynamic between <em>guru </em>and<em> shishya</em> in the Indian classical space. Also, check out her performances from her album, Home, and a new track composed from her own Tamil poetry.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Song List:</strong></p> <p>Man in Nature (01:44 - 06:55)</p> <p>Grief (23:37 - 28:34)</p> <p>Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum (54:02 - 58:26)</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Follow Sushma:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sushmasaurus">Instagram</a> @sushmasaurus</p> <p><a href="http://facebook.com/sushmamusic">Facebook</a> @sushmamusic</p> <hr> <p><strong>Partners: </strong>Shure</p> <p>The Ladies Special studio sessions were recorded using Shure mics and headphones.
