if you are there you are and the next
place light turn out this way
I guess you’re not even I’m here to let
you know that sometimes you don’t get
what we asked for but we get more than
we think we deserve
I’m glad Savita and the one-man band
from India I failed
a hundred times but I never give up and
that is why I stand in front of you to
tell you my story that will inspire and
motivate you for a better tomorrow to
have a song called lost Charles and will
be playing on harmonica and guitar

almost all my life has spent playing
some musical instrument or the other
captain quite often it wasn’t even a
real instrument here hasn’t be a few
utensils or containers from the kitchen
with some spoons and books it will just
be me using my hands to beat my body and
make some rhythm or I will be just me
brushing my hand on my jeans pants
yeah that’s make that make sounds I’m
sure some of you or all of you must have
at least tried one of those well I found
it for myself that music didn’t really
require something to be made and sold
for me music was anything that sounded
vens my ears and I could use it as a
score to the visual that I see in front
of me with my love and passion for this
has brought me this far
well having played music since I was a
child and started become instruments as
I watch people play
I loved replicating when I watch people
play the keyboard the guitar the drums
the food’s a mouth organ you know it’s
just something very fascinating to me
every time I watch someone play
I’m family like another stream of blood
just woke up as though to mean that it’s
activated itself and hearing the sound
of a new instrument well I get normally
a lot of instruments and a bunch of them
together which are seeing in front of
you right now
well thank Jesus for me what was stuck
between the option of whether I want to
do when I should save home and sink into
my sickness or work towards doing
something about my life because I was a
victim of a lung problem corn as usual
effusion which is the precursor to tube
classes but it was very hard for me to
live life let alone work on the things
that I love to do they put all of you
through my situation
imagine we go deep-sea diving and
someone suddenly just decided Zoo snatch
away your oxygen reserve and you have
100 feet to swim back up do you feel
that that’s what it feels like to be me
but I was left with the damage spare
Lance which is for immersion of it
working when I was discharged from the
hospital and also the doctors told me
that I would not be able to play even a
harmonica or flute or any of these wet
instruments but leaving I want to work
and I’m sure I did not expect myself to
be standing in front of you today and
telling you that I never gave up back
then and all the things that brought me
down with other things that gave me the
courage to see life in a different light
today I have another song for you
because I don’t finally have to say if
you know the song you can join along
[Music]
you did what the song you can clap it
off okay

thank you so if you are going through a
proper today
don’t let your problems easier that’s
what I learned to my pain
we don’t go out of problems sometimes
they just happen to us because of
reasons that we may not really know off
but that is where your story begins that
is that face which can either break you
or make you into something new some of
us probably getting you know some of us
are probably going through a tough time
right now and you know it very well that
you are probably getting charged up for
something new before I walk off stage I
want to leave you with one impression in
your heart and that is we need not worry
about failure but what we need to look
forward is whether we are working hard
to get past it I sat in front of you
purely by the grace of God and my
willpower to do something extraordinary
even though I went through a tough time
so no matter who you are what you do and
where you see yourself in the next in
the coming years know one thing that we
may not really know about tomorrow but
what we do know is what we can do today
with what we have learned yesterday so
maybe the best use of what you have and
never give up I will leave you with one
last song
ask all of you to join along are you
with me after one man back up you guys
are but my man are you with me superb so
there’s a song I wrote you just have to
