It's fucking sweet! Of course the thing wont stay in tune yet, but the new strings will wear in. Pretty brutal on my fingers but that only makes it better! 
I got it about three hours ago but here's a beginners attempt to improvise. About half way through I almost overload the speaker but whatever. Plus about a minute and a half in, the main string goes a bit out of tune from the bending. Enjoy, though!

Hilarious and inconsequential, the lot of it. Enjoy the ride. Music is medicine.

Sweet dude! Good luck tuning that thing.
Ravi Shankar received a round of applause after tuning his sitar at the concert for Bangladesh. Although, most of the audience was probably so high that they figured he had just played a beautiful serenade.

It's not exactly an easy task. I have enough trouble tuning my violin or guitar, which have four and six strings respectively. Sitars have what, 22 strings?
