NEW DELHI, FEB. 10. The President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, today made his first public appearance since suffering a shoulder bone fracture five days ago and attended a music festival here. Mr. Kalam attended the Laxmi Narain Global Music Festival organised by renowned violinist Dr. L Subramaniam. Speaking at the fusion of music of India and Norway, the President greeted the artistes and orchestras of both countries in their mission of promoting global peace through music. Observing that fusion of music united hearts and minds of people, Mr. Kalam said "what we need today is fusion of six billion people on this planet earth and music can play an important role in this fusion." Noting that music is an important component for the human being, he quoted famous Sufi poet Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, whose couplet said "an angel is free because of its knowledge. Beast is free because of ignorance but man is struggling between knowledge and ignorance and music can play an important role in making a balance." — PTI
