It is certain that many people still have not forgotten the memory of Yohani Diloka de Silva, who made Indian music lovers go crazy. (Sri Lanka Latest News)
Some experts as well as some other people slandered Yohani for her hypocrisy, but because of the brilliance Yohani created by shaking the City of Delhi, she was awarded a golden visa from the state of Dubai. Therefore, no matter what anyone says or how it is treated, Yohani is a singer who brought fame to her mother country.
I brought the memory of Yohani here because I want to have an easy start to this new story that I am going to write. A little girl in the north provides the lovely commentary needed for that new story.
Yohani was chosen to tell the story of little girl because she surprised Indian musicians like Yohani. Not only that. Because this little girl who was born in the North or Jaffna, brought fame to her mother country like Yohani.
The name of this little Tamil girl is Kilm Isha with a cute face. Kilm Isha is a fourteen-year-old girl who studies in the eighth grade. There are countless children in this world who are born with incredible artistic abilities under the grace of Goddess Saraswati. Kilm Isha too was born with such an innate ability.
She had an amazing ability to sing beautifully. In the story of ‘Guttila Musila’, the child in her lap fell to the ground, but the mother could not even notice it, and Kilm Isha got the ability to sing to the tune that hypnotizes the human heart at the age of five or six.
Kilm Isha’s voice is very melodious. When she sings, those beautiful tones bring tears to anyone’s eyes without knowing it. In another interesting language, everyone who was listening to her songs told her with sincere happiness that her sweet singing voice is like a meditation.
This is not a lie. Kilm’s mother was so afraid that her daughter would be subjected to everyone’s evil eye. The voice is such it mesmerized the listeners.
This little girl’s heart did not allow her to limit this ability that he was born with to the corner of the house. From the very beginning, the school background was the haven for her. She participated in every concert held in the school.
Your ability is unique. You can go much further…’
Not only the school teachers, friends and acquaintances, but also the Tamil artistes of Sri Lanka who listened to her sweet voice often told her. Responding humbly, this young girl applied for many Tamil music competitions in Sri Lanka with the help of her father’s mother and younger brother.
Excellent Kilm Isha Excellent… I drifted away to your voice…”
Many of the artists present to judge the competition rose from their seats and applauded Kilm very enthusiastically. Participating in little music competitions, Kilm was unexpectedly lucky enough to participate in a series of international music competitions held in Tamil Nadu, India.
That is the ‘Sarigamapa Lil Champs’ (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs) competition. It was like a dream come true for Kilm Isha. Kilm Isha had never imagined that he would be invited to participate in the ‘Sarigamapa Lil Champs’ competition series, where the world-renowned Indian Tamil artists sit on the jury.
Kilm Isha, who thought it was her honour and fortune to participate, audience were so mesmerized by her voice that she made it to the third round of the ‘Sarigamapa Lil Champs’ music reality show.
‘Yes, my God, here is a stylish little girl walking from Jaffna, Sri Lanka to sing for Sarigamapa lil champs. We are really proud of this daughter…’
When Kilm Isha told her details in front of the jury, veteran playback singer of Kollywood cinema Srinivas Doreswamy who was sitting in the jury welcomed her with such warmth while clapping his hands. As she sang a beautiful Tamil song in a melodious voice, the sixty-three-year-old Sirinivas swayed around on the seat and tapped his fingers to her song as if of meditating.
‘You are awesome Kilm Isha. No words to say. You are proud to your mother country….’
At the end of the song, Sirinivas said to Kilm Isha while wiping tears from his eyes. Seeing that sight, Sirinivas, hearing the appreciation given to Kilm Isha, everyone in the audience who had come to watch the reality competition got up from their seats and applauded for Kilm Isha for several minutes to the extent that the hall was shaking.
Was it only veteran playback singer Srinivas Doreswamy who appreciated Kilm Isha that much?
No. Forty-seven-year-old Vijaya Prakash, another superstar playback singer sitting on the jury, and forty-two-year-old actress Abhirami, an award-winning Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil film actress, were very honoured Kilm Isha.
‘Kilm Isha, your voice is amazing. If you are in a dream of becoming a super singer, never wake up from that dream. Live with that dream. Someday you will surely make that dream come true…’
Abhirami enjoyed Kilm’s song by saying ‘Wow Wow…’ and gave that kind of comment to Isha. Vijaya Prakash who was sitting next to Abhirami also said,
Why waste words? Kilm Isha also has to say a few words similar to what madam Abhirami said…’ he said, raising his right hand to greet her.
In the face of all the praise and appreciation, this fourteen-year-old teenage amateur singer, the little star with a sweet voice, first smiled. After that, she cried because of happiness. After that, she went to her parents and embraced them.
Our daughter has been singing since childhood. Our house was filled with the beautiful songs that she always hummed. But we never thought that she would get this kind of publicity, this kind of appreciation from the experts and reach up to the third round…’
Kilm Isha’s mother broke down in tears as she told the jury and everyone in the audience. At that point, everyone in the jury and many people in the audience could not stop the tears from their eyes.
Kilm Isha, who was lucky enough to make it to three rounds in the ‘Sarigama Lil Champs’ competition, which is held in several languages throughout India, how much is the glory brought to our mother land? How lucky was this little girl born in Jaffna to receive so many praises from India’s accomplished artists? All those glories were brought to her by her innate mesmerizing voice. Her voice is so sensitive that it brings tears to everyone’s heart. Despite winning or losing the reality crown, Kilm Isha is a melodious singer with an over the top voice.
How are the comments received by Kilm Isha on Facebook? Like Yohani, do the people on Facebook discriminate against her?
More than Yohani, people on the Facebook page have written greetings for Kilm Isha.
Is the idea that Kilm Isha is better than Yohani?
Veteran Tamil playback singer Srinivas Doreswamy said Kilm Isha’s voice is superb. But it is not ethical to compare it with Yohani’s voice. The reason for this is that both these singers contributed to make their motherland famous in the face of Indian music.
So,
We heartily congratulate Kilm Isha to ‘Mawrata’. May you have the necessary luck and glory to bring fame and praise to the ‘Motherland’ in the future.
