Tarani Ghosh, a visually impaired man over 70 years old from Kandi in Murshidabad district, carries a musical instrument and a stick in his hand and goes out every day to sing songs to win people's hearts and earn money. It has been ten years since he chose singing songs as his profession, and whatever money he gets, his family runs on that money. He is a very popular singer among the residents of Kandi.
Tarani Ghosh learned music at the Ramakrishna Mission in Kolkata at a young age. But, due to the financial crisis, Tarani’s dream of becoming a singer was never fulfilled.
At present, his job is to sing by playing a special musical instrument, which mesmerises the locals and passersby with his melodious voice. He thinks his blindness is not his weakness. This self-confidence makes him strong in life. He said that people become happy with his songs and give him money. Based on this income, he runs a family of six people.
He has three sons, one daughter, and a wife. The responsibility of his family is only on his shoulders. He is the one who earns the most for his whole family. Tarani Ghosh is a resident of Jemo Chakpara, under Kandi police station in Murshidabad district. It is said that he has been blind since birth. He has had to fight poverty since childhood. So he chose music as one of the means to survive.
He has become a familiar face to the locals of Kandi. Tarani said that this familiarity is one of the biggest achievements of his life. According to him, he won people's hearts, and so he has no regrets in his life despite not being able to go viral like Ranu Mandal and Bhuban Badyakar.
He said that he spent a lot of time singing like this with all his heart, as people love to hear his songs. He never felt that he was blind because of the love he got from people. His happiness comes from the people’s happiness. His children cannot work. So, the whole family runs on the money he earns by singing. He also appealed to everyone to help him.
