I had decided this from the beginning but I had avoided mentioning it in the forums or blogs till I actually did it. Everyone who has read my earlier blog about the charity concert is aware that the concert is tomorrow - 13th November 2007 for Mentally Handicap children in India. I had decided to donate all the earnings in DT in the period 1st November to 11th November for the charity as a contribution from DT.

Nikhil Gangavane (Thefinalmiracle)
Pune, IN

I never try to know in which genre my art finds its place in, I just create things that make a most qualified person and a common man feel the same level of ecstasy that I feel at the time of creation
