(An old FB post, written 5 years ago, on this day, 31st October' 2019.)
As I listened to the children from the 'Vienna Boys Choir' in Austria, (on a tour of India after 15 long years) singing at the Tata Theatre, NCPA last evening, I was amazed at how little children, all between the ages of 10 and 15, from almost 15 different countries of origin, were singing together in perfect harmony.
These children are part of a 500 year old Music school in Vienna, Austria; and they travel all over the world in small groups, singing and performing.
While they performed the music of a number of world famous and renowned composers, they also attempted to sing a couple of popular Hindi songs.
One of the songs they sang as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th Anniversary was 'Raghupati Raghav'. Without even knowing the language, they sang so beautifully and harmoniously, in their cute Austrian accents.😊
Children can sometimes teach us human beings important 'Lessons', about breaking barriers and walls, because they actually don't really exist at all.
They are simply 'man-made creations', and if we only overlook those 'differences', there is so much 'Joy' we can find; because we would just enjoy the pure 'Peace and Warmth', that little children singing harmoniously in their angelic voices, brings to our hearts and minds. ✨️🎶
