Shalika has confidently added that by looking at someone playing an instrument one could learn as he did. One who had not gone behind opportunities but does not deny that he had got adequate chances and openings. Though he wanted desperately to own an organ when young he knew requesting the parents was not prudent as they were financially very frail. When very young he had drawn the picture of the organ in school music room on a sheet of paper, with hardboards from milk packets had made a \u00a0toy organ and sung believing he was accompanied by an organ, Now Shalika states that currently the organ he owns and plays is an exclusive, is one of two organs available in Sri Lanka .Though Shalika\u2019s mother had sung songs to put him to sleep with the song \u2018Rajamaduraka Ipadee sitiyanam\u201d of Malini Bulathsinhala, mother had disliked Shalika following music.

This experience has made him competent to provide music for any song he is requested to. There are many to whom he had composed music and for many teledramas too. To this at a television dialog , he had emphasised on behalf of all vocalists should be prepared to provide music for any song. Shalika stressed that any vocalist sings only his or her songs but he and other musicians have provided music for many artistes breaking rest sometimes all night.
