The isle of Innisfree stands for unadulterated natural beauty. A visit to Innisfree gives immense joy, pleasure and peace to the poet. The sounds of honeybees, crickets and the lake water lapping by the shore tempt him to go there again and again. He will be contented with living in a small cabin and working at a small farm.

Wanda Petronski was a Polish immigrant. She was a socially outcast student who was often teased by the other students of the school and used to live in an impoverished area - Boggins Heights. Wanda used to wear the same faded, yet clean, blue dress to school each day. She sat in the last seat in the last row of her classroom, amidst the troublemakers, and was generally ignored by her teacher and by her fellow students. She was a very serene girl who laughed very rarely. She was very talented, skilled and patient.

Anil does not hand over the thief to the police because he realized that Hari had learnt his lesson and had changed for the better. Otherwise, he would never have come back and kept the money at the same place from where he had stolen it. Anil even knew how Hari cheated him of a rupee a day while buying the day’s supplies. But he never said anything to him. This is such a case where most people would have handed him over to the police. Anil was different from such employers because he was a modest and trusting man. He had offered to teach Hari how to cook and also to educate him. When he found out that Hari had stolen the money, but had kept it back, he knew that it was Hari’s conscience that had made him do so. Hari could have easily run off with the money, but he did not. This made Anil give him another chance and build him into a better person that he could already see him becoming.

The Sound of Music divides into two parts. Each part focuses on two musicians, Evelyn Glennie and Bismillah Khan. Part one throws light on Evelyn’s life and struggles to become a successful musician. Students will learn that she is a multi-percussionist. She has the talent to play hundreds of instruments perfectly. It tells how she gained international recognition.

What’s interesting is the Evelyn is profoundly deaf. The musician learned to listen to music through her body and not ears. She does not hear music, she feels it. You will learn that was 11 years old when she found out she had trouble hearing. Nonetheless, that did not stop her from pursuing her career in music.

Thus, her teacher, Ron Forbes was the one to recognize her talent. He unlocked doors to her potential and helped her achieve the impossible. She is now one of the most renowned names in the music industry. She has many accolades and awards to her name and serves as a great inspiration to the specially-abled community.

Next comes part II, where we learn about Bismillah Khan as well as the origin of shehnai. It was Bismillah Khan who popularized this instrument and took it to the world stage. He broke the myth of shehnai not being capable to create independent tunes. He came from a family of musicians.

Further, Bismillah Khan had a very secular upbringing. He grew up practising on the banks of River Ganga. He went to the mosque as well as the temple. After achieving immense success, he was awarded various titles. He is also a recipient of the highest civilian award of India- The Bharat Ratna.

In addition to that, he has won all three awards of Padma Bhushan, Padmashree and Padma Vibhushan. Interestingly, he was the first person to be invited to play shehnai at the Red Fort in 1947, while greeting Independent India.

Most importantly, he represented India on the international stage as well. An auditorium in Tehran is also by his name. Moreover, despite many opportunities, Bismillah Khan never left his home-town Varanasi. He dedicated his life to music and passed away in 2006.
