I and my wife are from Baroda, and have been huge fans of your singing since the 80s/90s when you were instrumental in making Baroda "the city of the circle dance"! We live in Canada, and even today, the music in both our cars consist of audio CDs from Arkee that we never get tired of. We wish you all the best for everything, and hope to catch you and Mr. Kapadia live in Canada in the near future!
