Carnatic music being such a vast and intense musical discipline is it not ambitious to think that it can reach everyone?
If we take music to be Carnatic music and nothing more, then there is less hope. But music being what it is, much more than Carnatic music or in fact more than any other system of music, or more accurately the glue that binds all of us together, it is never ambitious to think that it can reach everyone. What we need to do is simply give the right opportunity to unearth the music in everyone. This is as simple as drinking a glass of water.
