Of Tarzan and singing

I had my doubts that Tarzan is Indian. That dressing sense is not one that the westerners can conceive. And Mogly is definitely his son. The reason that I am confident that he is Indian is revealed by his singing... No, he isn't a bathroom singer. But the daily riyaaz of the alaap from the beautiful raaga is proof enough. He surely tried his hand (or mouth) at it. He obviously couldn't join the course and must have observed from afar... Which is why even now, we seem him desperately trying to master the first level.... Whether jumping from tree to tree.. Chasing animals.... Calling out his love... Such passion!!!!
