This is perhaps a great example of what Wayne Dyer so confidently proclaims -- that there are no accidents in the universe.

Little did she know, then, that the video could earn her not only a few lakh hits, but also professional training from one of the top musicians in India. Incidentally, the singer's friend, who told him about Tumpa, is also close to Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, who was also informed about the girl's talent. As a result, the chef has now decided to fund Tumpa's training and other related expenses. "It gives me immense satisfaction to be part of her journey," says Kapoor. Tumpa lost both her parents at an early age, and has been living with her relatives since then. She has two sisters, one of whom, Meenu, has been working since the age of 14 to support the other siblings. Tumpa recently arrived in Mumbai, and has already commenced her music training. "I started singing on the streets at the age of five, to earn money. Thanks to the help I am getting, I am actually daring to dream now. I want to become a good singer, and, if possible, through the earnings, I want to support my sisters," she says. It all started when Hariharan's friend saw the video, and asked the singer to watch it as well. He was so impressed with the young girl's voice that he decided to train her. He somehow traced her, and asked her if she was interested. "Tumpa's voice has a unique quality, which demands attention. It will compel you to listen to her. All one needs to do is train her in the technical aspects of singing," says Hariharan. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessind ia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
