Tabla player makes it to Guinness book

In a bid to do something extraordinary in life, Ludhiana city resident Paramjot Singh made it to the Guinness Book of World Records by playing the longest-ever tabla marathon for 313 hours and 13 minutes. It was at 12 am that he completed his mission.

He has broken the record of Kujhalannan G Ramkrishnan from Tamil Nadu who played mirdang non-stop for 301 hours in 2008.

Tabla is his soul and he has been playing it since he was nine years old. “I prepared myself well. The most difficult part was to control my sleep but by God’s grace, I lived through that difficult part and have today created a new record,” he said.

He began playing the tabla on April 5 at Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib and completed the session last midnight on April 19th.
