 Here
is a young singer who will not mind prioritizing music over
engineering.
T.N.S.Krishnan who steals time from his education to learn
Carnatic music has obtained the legacy of his illustrious
father Madurai T.N.Seshagopalan who has been in the
professional Carnatic music circuit for the past few
decades.
Krishnan who does not have any exact schedule to achieve
this, quickly listens to his father while he gives lessons
to his students. And he acquires. Krishnan also accompanies
his father during concerts and gives him vocal support and
learns music in the process.
An Engineering graduate from Sri Venkateswara College in
the outskirts of Chennai, Krishnan has rejected the job he
landed through campus recruitment. Instead, he aims to
study for MS or MBA abroad. His parents too, are in favour
of their son achieving academic excellence. Except,
Krishnan would comply with going abroad only if it does not
come in the way of his learning music.
For Krishnan music came naturally to him in his early days.
Listening, to his father singing, young Krishnan used to
recognize the swaras. Today his aim is only to emulate his
father and keep up the musical tradition, which he
considers as a family asset, intact.
Unlike his contemporaries who go in for other formsof
music, Krishnan solely concentrates on specializing in
Carnatic music- five concerts in a month, B High Grade from
the All India Radio. All in a day’s work. At the end of the
day, this soft-spoken guy likes to sit back and listen to
some Hindustani or ghazals, at the most.
He also favours to watch Ganguly play on TV. Better still,
some comedy shows would do fine for him.
But any day he will prefer music.
