Defining me would be something like a complex protein chemical formula. But all I would say - I am like a viscous liquid who will snuggly fit into any form of a vessel so to speak.

The one and only "Kashor"

 Eureka!!Eureka!! I have finally, finally discovered that I can play at least ONE musical instrument. What if it is a simple rounded black metallic plate? What even if we have utter confusion distinguishing it between percussion, string or wind? What even if it does not require great musical character to play the primitive device?
But it creates music after all. Rather the accompanying music during deity worship in India along with the blaring drum beats. Highly neglected and not even finds a reference in Oxford, its none other than our very own “Kashor”.
The key to playing it – Wield the stick and hit the metal in some form of rhythm. Don’t worry even if it is out of rhythm as people would hardly take notice :)
