Mohan played the largest instrument in the gamba family. He was very tall but his instrument was way taller then he was. It caused him many problems such as lack of options for transportation and a serious pain in his right arm – that was held almost always up. Because of that, Mohan tried to avoid all the chores. Mowing the lawn was painful due to the vibrations of the mower. Still, he had to do it; all neighbors demanded nicely looking grass in the area. “They should celebrate the dandelions,” he kept saying to himself, “They are strong, resistant, temperature independent and grow fast. It’s just a convention to prefer green color over yellow. If only people would notice that, all the lawns would always look pretty, without being mowed or being watered much.” He kept thinking, “If I were a president, I would convince them all how environmentally safe and water preserving this decision would be.” He never wanted to be a president, director, or any kind of a person with power. He used to say, “When you have power, it will change you, when you have money, you will be envied.” Also, this would take his thoughts and actions away from his playing, studies on his rare instrument, and composing music just for his instrument.
