First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting for so many days. In my previous post, I had mentioned that I would post twice a week. But my exams began so I couldn't post post for about 3 weeks. I am sorry for that.


                      "Dreams don't work, until you do."

                     We all have dreams. Bad dreams and good dreams. But we do have that ONE dream for which we can do anything. For which we can sacrifice a lot of things to fulfill it. Even I have a dream which I want to fulfill.
                   
                     When I was a child, I used to live in Qatar. My mother decided to come back to Kolkata with me and my brother because she wanted to become a writer and a psychologist and plus she didn't like Qatar that much. We came back in the year 2006. I remember listening to some devotional bhajans sung by Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty and Kaushiki Chakraborty. I was 5 years old that time. I did not understand Hindi that time but something touched me. Something was there in those bhajans. There was so much love and devotion in those bhajans that I started singing with them. My mother thought of teaching me music. She called a music teacher to my home and I started learning music from the age of 6. I used to learn it passionately. I remember coming 2nd in a music competition in the age 8. It was a very big thing for me. I started liking music even more. In class 4 I was sent to Kaushik Goswami because my mother did not want a teacher who would spoon feed me by writing the lyrics and not letting me do anything, she used to teach me like a pampering mother. I used to be really shy in Kaushik sir's class. There were other kids of my age and they were better singers than me. For the the first time in my life, I started feeling competitive. For the first 2 years with Kaushik sir I used to do everything by myself, he used to record the song in my recorder and then I used to go home and pick up the song without any help. In my first music exam I did not get good marks. My mother saw the will power in me to do good and from then she used to help me with my singing. She used to sit with me everyday for at least an hour and with her I used to practice vigorously. In class 6 I became serious about music, and I got a music system in class 7. It was class 7 when I understood that i want to be  a singer. In class 8 I was admitted to Shrutinandan and I am still there. I love singing and I can connect to God through Music.
             
                My dream is to become a singer. A singer who sings from his heart not for the audience but for God and his Soul. I can do anything to become a singer. Even though I don't sit for practicing everyday because of study pressure I still practice when I get some free time.
