We the humans, have a sheer tendency to play blame game for every other happening in our lives. Be it a shortfall of money, inability to get a job or an unsuccessful marriage. We just put the blame on somebody else’s shoulders. At times, when we don’t get anyone, we don’t even spare the God. All this just puts us in a vicious circle with no outcome on hand and tears in eyes. But, we still keep on blaming!
There are thousands to name, who follow the above idea and if you don’t believe me, look around yourself. It might be your relatives, friends, the unknowns or maybe you yourself. And then there is Kiran Kaur, a young courageous girl, having a total reverse idea about life than that mentioned above.
Kiran Kaur, 22 is not among those ninety presenters but is not less than a skyscraper. Kiran’s father is a small businessman in Haryana and mother is a homemaker. Born in a middle class family, Kiran had small aspirations for herself as she knew that her parents could do little for her in this world of squeezing resources with everyday increasing prices. Moreover, Kiran’s parents were required to raise four children, a son and a daughter elder and another daughter younger to Kiran.
Kiran was never a bright student but was an assiduous one. She did her schooling from Akal Academy, Baru Sahib. She scored 78% and 72% in 10th and 12th board examinations respectively. She then took admission in Bachelor of Arts (Divine Music) at Eternal University under the aegis of The Kalgidhar Trust, to continue with her passion for singing. To her, singing is the most gracious gift of God, in which she wishes to make her career. She aspires to become a Lecturer in Music itself. Apart from singing, she also likes to read books and dance.
Kiran is surely a subtle girl who has the ability to interpret nature. After her 12th she also pursued a two year course in Music. She also has mastery in playing string instruments. She finds relief in her music and offers the same to the almighty.
The tales of Tansen (one of the 9 jewels of Akbar, the great emperor), shows that when he used to sing even the animals used to enjoy and were governed by his music. Music is commonality between all civilizations. It actually binds us together, so much so that we tend to forget our distinguishing attributes. Kiran feels that she can contribute her part to this world in the form of music. She even inspires her younger sister to the tunes that she plays.
Kiran’s parents seem to be the happiest couple on this Earth. Today, their son is a lab technician and the other daughter is a teacher in Akal Academy. And as far as Kiran is concerned, they feel proud in calling themselves parents of a ‘Music Maestro’.
Born in the Incredible India, Kiran is an incredulous ingenious blessed child with God’s benign gift of music in the soul. Kiran is now on the tracks of that “Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife” Khalil Gibran.
