This video that has gone viral in Kerala landed in my inbox as I woke up today in Araku.

It is a Wayanad folk song sung by a music teacher who had spotted the drumming talent of this student and joined him in an impromptu session in school.

It is teachers that create stars. pic.twitter.com/OzvUIiUDvR
