to be a valid one.
The show was kicked off by
two singing females who one

years. No one could sing off-key
so conslstenUy without some for¬

save their act by wearing the

He noted that "various ambas¬

Prasad was especial ly Im¬

of a fraternal feeling as though
everyone was one big family.This
was very stimulating to see and
to be a part of even for a small
period   of   time,"  stated Maya.
As for future plans, Maya hopes
to eventually work for the U.N.
under UNESCO to develop and
