Million Voices One Soul





Music is a different thing to different people. For some it’s a mode of communication that transcends the cultural and traditional barriers for others it’s a way to spend time with earphones plugged in their ears and their feet’s moving with the rhythm and the beat. For me Music is a journey. A journey that begin with my mom singing to me a melodious lullabies to put me to sleep. Later on the road grew longer where every step giving me knowledge about different genre of music.


Ever since I remember music has played a great part in my life. It would be a little difficult for me to conceptualize my world without music in it. Just for instance, playing good music in a crowd and finding someone or the other nodding their heads moving their feet and enjoying the sound to their fullest. I am not a music expert, I am a music lover. Music is my friend, companion and a story teller and this love for music took me to one of the many beautiful concerts at Mangaluru. The singer for the concert was one of the best play back singers Javed Ali.



Born and brought up in Delhi, Javed Ali is an Indian playback singer who has been singing in Hindi movies since 2000. Ali started singing at a very early age with his father – a popular qawwali singer, Ustad Hamid Hussain. In 2007 Ali sang the song "Ek Din Teri Raahon Mein" from the movie Naqaab and thereafter the song "Jashn-e-Bahaaran" from the movie Jodhaa Akbar (2008). He is a playback singer in Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Marathi. He judged a reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs 2011 on Zee TV. Recently he recorded song "Sajna" composed and arranged by Archit Tak and Akshay Deep Singh for the movie "Meeradha" produced by SPJ Entertainment.

The music concert begin at 6pm at the forum mall where more than a thousand people were gathered to have a look at the singer they all love to listen. With loud cheers Javed was welcomed on the stage where he sang songs like Guzarish, Kun Faya Kun, Ishaqzaade, Tu Jo Mila and Tum Tak.



“People say music is the word of heart. Really it is, his voice is enchanting and revealing, through the songs he speak so much. To be honest am not much familiar with Hindi songs except to some and I never heard of Javed Ali either. When a friend casually asked me to attend his concert at Forum Fiza mall that too with entry free, I got excited and agreed. Upon watching his 3 hours long concert, I was mesmerised and fell in love with his songs. Especially song like Tu Jo Mila from Bhajrangi Bhaijan was a great inspiration to me from before, getting to see this song performed by the actual singer is amazing. Love every bit of his gigs”stated,Reyivolu Rhakho, a student of St Aloysius.

For sure and undoubtedly, Javed Ali won many hearts through his performance and left sweet memories in the hearts of Mangalorean.

Ever thought how life would be when we all grow old with wrinkled faces trying to walk with an old walking stick and only looking forward to when we will die and achieve the peace we will be craving for? But there are people who enjoy this stage of life too. A good example of this is Nazareth Niwas, a home for the elderly. Nazareth Niwas is a beautiful home for the aged. It is situated in Bondel, Manga luru. Under the management and attention of Carmelite sisters of Saint Teresa the residents are well looked after. “We have number of home for the aged, but this is a different house.

The parents find it di...

Goa is a place where every guy would want to visit in his lifetime as an Indian. So whenever you hear Goa, there is so much excitement and anticipation. Well, I got the exposure to it. F inally , I made a visit to Goa and stayed there for two days. Let me give you a brief insight about my experience as a new comer to Goa and the incident that has taken place within the span of time. Well to be honest, we planned Goa within 3 days after the internship, so by evening we started to call everyone to come along but never found any friends to carry with, maybe it was because of financial problems and the adjustment within that span of time. Finally just the three of us were ready to go there at the last moment.   Once everything was settle, I called up my younger brother Razo, saying am going to Goa, his first words   was “buy me a t shirt”, I laugh at him and   told him that I don’t have money. Instead told him the family financial (such a poor brother), He event...
