Lucky are those people who are born with talent and their talent is not confined to just themselves. Luckier are those who have such people in their life who chisel out the hidden talent in you and help you to bring it out in the open. My best friend has always been a music freak. She used to love to listen to music- all kinds of music. But music was not an easily talked subject in their house. Surprisingly, even in this age, her family was extremely conservative about activities like music and dance. Joining a dance or music academy was beyond her imaginations. So all the music she used to listen to were either when she was out of her house or when she was all alone in her room at night, with everyone gone off to sleep.
It was known to very few people that she had an amazing voice as well, but for very obvious reasons she never let it out. I knew it, but couldn’t do anything for her. I knew she could be an asset to the music fraternity if she sang for people and not to herself in seclusion. No wonder she was married off at an early age. It was only when she had given up all hopes and dreams of music; her husband discovered that his wife is a gem of a singer. Unlike what she thought would be his reaction; he encouraged her to audition for a reality show and made her join a Music school.
With so much of encouragement, she finally cracked her audition at once, and with her mesmerizing voice, she won it as well! Now she is a busy person signing albums and performing across the country. Her husband is to be thanked for all of this. Not because he found out the talent, but he successfully overthrew her years of fear and inhibition with his faith and trust he had on her, and her talent.
