Music will never die, it will always remain.
I love music; my
personal choice of music would be Tamil. Why, because I’m Sri Lankan and have had a
passion for it since I was a little girl. Going to the temples really inspired
me to sing even more, the passion and devotion of the very talented classical
singers was priceless to see. I started taking vocal classes and eventually began to
sing at a temple called “Kali Hindu Temple.” When singing Tamil devotional songs they make me
feel like I’m more interconnected with my culture and when I was singing one day, I realized that
singing was my inner talent.
What made this journey excel even more spiritually was my grandmother, who always sang Tamil songs
during prayer. She taught me that by singing devotional songs it brings you closer
to god. Which was true, I felt more relived and satisfied with myself. I felt
like I was communicating with god. Eventually this journey had a major
breakdown which shattered me emotionally and mentally, when my grandmother
passed away. I thought this delightful journey
was coming to an end. However, I did not let this break me; in fact it made me
even stronger.
I decided to accomplish more and make the best out of this tragedy. In
doing so, I started a choir from 2010-2014 which is still running today. Music
opens the eyes and doors for many individuals, it is up to you to take advantage
of that opportunity and expand on it. Once you start there is no going
back!
