A rising star
|
Besides an inherent talent, Dibya's sincerity and hard work could pitchfork him into a great career.

Mesmerising all Dibyadarshan is hard work, discipline and talent personified.
He was born into a family of artists. His father Chandramani and mother Sailabala are both artists of repute. But Dibyadarshan chose music instead of fine arts or painting, the family art. He completed B.Sc and then went on to get Sangeet Visharad from the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharba Mahavidyalaya Mandal, Mumbai. He soon became a rising star in the music firmament while pursuing his M.Mus from Banaras Hindu University (BHU). In fact, he completed his M.Mus with a first class first from BHU this year.
Having being trained under Mohd. Hamid Ahad, K. Bhubaneswari and V. Balaji, he presented concerts at many private functions and at the programme hosted by Kashi Sangeet Sabha. Recently his solo recital at Jaydev Bhavan, Bhubaneswar, where his talented younger brother Shubhadarshan Biswal accompanied him on the tabla , came in for profuse praise for its discipline and flawless rendition of notes as he elaborated raag Charukeshi.
Seeks exposure
Are the Biswal brothers teaming up for performances in music circuit now? He smiles and responds, "Not in the immediate future. I have to learn more and grow first as an artiste ." So he plans to mature as a classical instrumentalist before taking up other assignments. He might have to move out of his native State for more exposure.
Says his father Chandramani Biswal, who is the secretary of Lalit Kala Akademi, "I don't mind his going out. He has to grow and I should not keep him confined to home and hearth."
Dibyadarshan has a level head on his young shoulders which had endeared him to his guru V. Balaji who gifted his precious violin to him when he graduated out of BHU.
Balaji, a mercurial performer himself, was struck by Dibyadarshan's hard work, discipline and obvious talent, hence felt that the young man was the right person to carry forward his legacy.
Rigorous practice
More than half of Dibyadarshan's day goes in rigorous practice sessions. He believes more in discipline than in fireworks.
There is an offer from Bangalore-based -Nrityagram and he could move there soon. Ace violinist Ramesh Chandra Das hits the nail on the head while predicting a promising future for him.
"Talent is god-given and Dibya has oodles of it. But to make a mark one has to be sincere and committed. That he certainly is despite his young age. Besides, he is always willing to learn. All that point to a great career for this boy," he remarks.
