I like ghazal singers like Farida Khanum, and western singers like Leonard Cohen, and Marilyn Horne. A fan of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and so on in her student days, Nirupama had played the guitar too.

Once she became a busy diplomat, perhaps her interest in music had to be muted a little bit..
