Television & Radio Programs
I have given a number of television & radio programs/lectures, which have been popular and repeatedly sought after on the  issues of culture and literature.
Santoor Deborah Phillips / Germany / 1998 / Animation/ Experimental / 13'00 / 35 mm Film.
A musical odyssey in three parts. While Nandkishor Muley plays his Santoor, he moves between types of music - Eastern and Western. He dances through ornamental realms of the imagination. A consecration of life beyond borders.
