Sonu Nigam dressed up as a homeless old man, sitting in one corner of Juhu with his harmonium, singing melodies. When he started singing, no one took notice, but slowly, as he gathered momentum with his music, so did people stop to take notice.
He had a simple tagline beside him: Khojna kya hai, khushiyan yahaan hai (Where are you searching for happiness, it’s right here). The beauty of his thought and his music moved those listening to him.
Some recorded his voice, some stood beside him and asked him if he had eaten anything since morning. That was the power of his music. His voice, that moved people.
Many times, we do come across such artists, but we fail to acknowledge them. If you have ever been that person, then stop today, take a deep breath, and acknowledge this man, who truly deserves a standing ovation for his great deed.
