You keep the tanpura on the lap while doing riyaz... my mother did that when she was carrying me. The sound of the tanpura is the most natural sound to me. It's like an eternal sound that's constantly playing in my head. I don't know a life without it. I've woken up to the sound of my mother doing riyaz. I've been dancing since I was five. I've watched all kinds of dance forms. It's very natural for me and in fact, I've taken it for granted."
