Every day she shares with me valuable lessons of life which keeps me grounded and motivated. She is the most positive person one can interact with.

Parineeta Borthakur: My music teacher late Paresh Roy sir from Tinsukia was someone I always looked up to. He was a real example of simple living high thinking. When he was old and unwell he didn't let anyone pick him up till the ambulance, but tried to walk. He used to hate taking favour from anyone. He was very strict as a teacher, but loved me a lot. He had gifted me my tanpura when I passed my Bachelor's of Music. I miss him every day
