My Favourite Musical Instrument.

Tabla is my one of favourite musical instruments. It's a North Indian percussion instrument. According to the modern research suggests that the tabla was invented in the first half of the 18th century by a drummer named Amir Khusru. 

The story of tabla and me is intersting. I've been playing tabla since 2012. My mother is my first teacher and after few months I met a specialist for playing tabla. My second teacher, his name is Mr.Harindra Deshapriya. Untill now he is my guruji. In the beginning it was hard, many times I thought to quite but at the same time I wasn't able to quite and mainly my inner thoughts and heart couldn't gave up.so I tried to practice continuesly. After that I got the point of playing a tabla. Then my first achievement was in 2014. I won 1st place in All Island music competition by playing tabla. And after that I was able to continuesly won 1st places in all island several years. Those  were unforgettable days and great achievements in my music life. But I have a regreate that I had to stoped playing tabla for few years because of my school exams and some personal issues. The thing is it's not easy, bacuse if we are into something hardly, in order to get that we have to put our soul. Playing an instrument is also like that, we have to put our soul to live that musical environment. Moreover one of my weak points is I can only focus one thing at one time. So at that time I only focused my studies. So I missed so many days of practicing tabla and faded my long time skills. But now I got a chance to restart with new experiences. So I'm looking forward to give my full strength to achieve my dreams. 

Thanks to my mother and my great teacher I've been experienced many great things. As for the future I believe that there are many opportunities will come and I believe my skills and myself.
