Nasheman News At what age you fell in love with music?
Fabian: I really don’t know. But I had a feeling in my childhood that music can calm people.
Nasheman News : But you play so many instruments. Where did you learn?
Fabian: Well. let me say, if you have a passion for anything, you don’t need a school. God schedules everything. Everyone has a God- given talent. Music or anything else. We need to respect and nurture it.
Nasheman News : You are on many public shows in Bangalore. Does it make you proud?
Fabian: No. Pride is a downfall. I don’t consider myself great. God uses us in the way He wants. God called me to be Faithful not successful. I use my talents to give glory to God my Maker
Nasheman News: But there’s so much competition. How do you survive?
Fabian: God has given me my daily bread and a good family. I am grateful to the Jesuits who gave me a job and honoured my talents. I am not so worried about competition.
Nasheman News : Apart from being a music teacher, what are your plans?
Fabian: I take one day at a time being grateful for what God has blessed me with. I wish I could lead people in prayer and worship and address the painful concerns people go through everyday. I want to be an instrument of God
Nasheman News : You said you want to be an instrument of God. Are you trying to proclaim the Christian Faith?
Fabian: Sorry. You got me wrong. I have no qualms of religion and don’t denounce any religion. I believe that Love is Religion. If you love, you are religious.
