Statesman News Service
KALIMPONG, Oct. 26. — Music might transform the grief-stricken life of
eight-year-old Abishek Tamang, just as it transformed the life of 27-
year-old Mr Ravinder Ravi, one of five finalists of the "Indian Idol"
television series.
Ravi is now he will be singing to save Abishek's life. The eight-year-old is
suffering due to damage to both his kidneys. During his visit to Siliguri in
the first week of October to perform in a Dandia dance organised by Lions
Club of Siliguri (Greater), Ravi read about Abishek' s struggle for life in a
vernacular daily.
"I made up my mind then to sing for the boy," Ravi said, speaking over
the phone from New Delhi. Abishek, who hails from Barbotey, about 10
kilometres from Darjeeling, has been suffering from ill-health all through
his childhood. " Music has had a great influence in my life. Perhaps it can
help this young boy too," Ravi said.
His parents grieved that in spite of requests to the DGCH caretaker
chairman Mr Subash Ghisingh, Darjeeling MP, Mr Dawa Narbula and ex-
area councillor, none have responded with any kind of financial help. Ravi
will perform at Algarah, 11 kilometres from here, on 6 November in a
programme organised by an NGO called Himalayan Organization for
People Education (HOPE). The fund collected will be handed over to
"Abishek Tamang Ko Upacharrath Sayog Kosh", a fund collection cell
specially created for Abishek in City Plaza in Siliguri.
