On World Drummers’ Day, celebrated annually to honour percussionists across the globe, the journey of Dr Seetharaman Iyer stands as a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and unwavering passion. Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye condition, he lost his vision at the age of 25. What could have ended aspirations, strengthened his resolve to continue his medical career and his love for music.
