Hindustan Times Chandigarh|December 24, 2024
It was a dream come true for Ashutosh Saroch, a native of Chandigarh, as he recited the Indian National Anthem to the crowds at Gaba Cricket Ground and Allan Border Field Cricket Ground in Australia's Brisbane where the Indian men's cricket team led by Rohit Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur-led women's teams took on their Australian counterparts last week.

CHANDIGARH:

Forty-year-old Saroch, who grew up learning Indian classical music in Chandigarh, had migrated to Australia in 2010 for better career opportunities. A student of DAV Model School, Sector 15, and later Government College, Sector 46, Saroch pursued masters in Indian Classical Music (vocal) from Panjab University before enrolling in a healthcare course in Australia.

It wasn't easy for the music enthusiast, who had noted Punjabi singer Satinder Sartaj as his senior, to make the switch to healthcare.
