As long as Momin can remember, the sound of the Sarangi was his "lullaby" (lori). At age six Momin began pleading with his father to teach him the Sarangi. His desire was so great that one night, refusing to eat, he stayed up until 2:30am waiting for his father's return so he could start learning the instrument
