No Price Tag for Happiness

Usha Uthup, the iconic Indian pop and jazz singer, lives for the day, believes in investing for tomorrow, but more than money, banks on her inner peace

No Price Tag for Happiness

She embraces life with zest and drapes her Kaanjeverum like turbulence and tranquility in flow regal in her being.

Many might want to define life like living in a matchbox, but for Usha Uthup, it is more like unearthing the beauty, and not merely breathing. We cannot afford to just exist. It is dangerous.

We all remember how the young and restless Neil Perry from Dead Poet’s Society recites, “I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.”

Usha Uthup’s approach towards fleeting life is somewhat similar to the lines of Henry David Thoreau. She changed music from the day she sang her first note, casting spells over thousands, making them sway to the rapid tempo of ‘Darling’, asking those thousand hearts to beat in the rhythms of life, to be alive, with her vibrato.
