I wish to have my own drum set.......

Chethan T is a 15 years old boy suffering from Immuno Compromised State referred from Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital. He lost both the parents 3 years back and now he lives with his grand parents and uncle. When our volunteers met him for the first time, he was in pediatric emergency ward and they break the ice through provide him with a drawing book with colour pencils. He was very much fascinated in drawing musical instruments such as veena, mrudangam, drums with cymbals, flute and even the violin. Inspite of this he talked with them about his beloved hobbies-bike racing and look-after his pet dog Jimmy. During holidays, most of the time he will spend for drawing, painting, dancing and playing drums with his friends in a music school nearby their home.

Despite his hobbies, he was keenly interested in TV music and dance programmes. Through watching those shows, he learnt most of the dances and now he started learning his beloved musical instrument drums. In future, he would wish to become a famous Drummer. As our volunteers interacted with him about his wishes, he told them that his wish is to have a whole drum set with cymbals. On the special day of 21st October 2009, along with the drummer of the music shop our volunteers visited wish kids residence with new music drum set. As soon as he saw the music drum set there is no boundary for his cheerfulness. Then the drummer set the whole drum set and also taught him few hindi songs. He was in high spirits and keep on playing the drums which was known to him and also the songs taught by the drummer.
