      Raaghvam is what you’d think Prince Charming would be like. He’s got a voice that would make anyone swoon, the most adorable smile, and looks that prove he’s God’s favourite (and ours). Even though his username is “mostly melodious” he’s got music flowing through him all the time, we can’t wait for the day he’ll have sold-out shows and record deals with the greats. He shows his modesty by calling himself an Amateur Guitarist despite soothing our ears with the most melodious tunes.
