He is young and raring to go. He could have tried his luck and led a comfortable life pursuing a lucrative profession. But he has chosen to teach music instead. His name is Umashankar, a science graduate from the dry land of Rajapalayam. Umashankar thinks school students should not be taught only the Tamizh Thai Vazhthu and the national anthem. He says "there are a lot of amazing songs, penned by great poets, whose powerful lyrics could help them understand and imbibe value necessary to lead a good life."  Umashankar fulfills his desire by taking private classes for those who are keen to learn the art form. " But I will keep trying to make these youngsters understand appreciate the beauty of this music." he says.
