Last night I watched 60 Minutes and it was really a pleasure to see the musical Genius Derek Paravicini play the piano. I hope you also will, after you listen to him. Time taken about 15 minutes.

Lesley Stahl profiles British musical savant Derek Paravicini, whose computer-like memory for music is matched by his creative abilities to play it in any style.

Saw the same was really impressed.

God takes away some BUT gives more in another form.

He could play various styles, various keys and also could remember songs from a single listening.

He could also compose music and that was really outstanding as he could do it in a Jiffy.

In India we also have similar persons(not physically/mentally challenged)with multi-disciplinary skills.

The Kings in India used to have these guys along with their court jesters.

There are people with 8 skills called Asthavadhani and 10 skills called Dasavadhani.

When a person has the basic potential they are further trained to pick up these skills.

We used to see their skills on display on Doordarshan in 1970's where at the same time they will compose small poems, while keeping track of a bell being rung, and parallely solving a math problem, adding a series of numbers with numbers being given in random and they would also play an instrument. They would do 10 tasks at the same time and with 100% accuracy. It was a mix of memory, creativity and also multi tasking skills.

I think the people with those skills are nearly gone at this point of time.

Sunny Leone a true Canadian DESI now back in India !.

For some one to have knowledge of some of these established faculties and also design develop and bring in newer ideas into current usage, if so, was there another world some where in the Universe from which we are slowly trickling this knowledge and its development into our current Stellar existence.

Just a thought !

May be we don't know who we are.!! ( I know I am Freddie, Hey...)
