It\u2019s often connected to defeat and frustration, but many forget that a catastrophe is a crucial part of growth that can result in an embarrassment of positive actions. In fact, failure has a multitude of benefits that can help one to learn and even strengthen \u00a0skills, regardless of the journey you\u2019ve embarked on. Kasun has had not hereditary affiliations to music only inborn distinctive talent. While attending to his school Dharmasoka College Ambalangoda where he had studied seriously music from grade six having a passion for music with intention in mind firmly to become a musician who could compose music, \u00a0a music director and to own a studio cum to be a vocalist of repute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In school he had participated in sports like swimming and cricket .But fate for Kasun had been very cruel when he was only thirteen years old, \u00a0had fallen from a moving train resulting in many injuries to his body, hospitalized for one hundred days in the Karapitiya Teaching hospital also having had \u00a0to amputate a leg which was a huge handicap for his future movements particularly having to walk with the aid of clutches. Lately he now has an artificial leg. Examples of people who had to overcome much throughout their lives to get to where they are today.

There had been a phase when Kasun\u2019s family was deprived of his income hence had been in dire straits. There had been a period when the family had to starve for weeks had said they have had no tears in the eyes to cry. The relatives when approached had turned a blind eye offering no sympathy. However one relative once had offered vegetables, rice , thriposha in a bag by which they were able to tide over for a few days. Mother at a time has had to sell something they possessed in the dwelling to buy food stuffs. Incidentally later once Kasun got established in the music arena had compiled a melody for a song\u2019 Hal Mitakata\u2019 for his own lyrics and melody and \u00a0sung, was watched by about forty thousand \u00a0which prompted Kasun to produce a video of \u00a0which became an instant hit even today. He had received assistance from most of his classmates, village acquaintances, special mention was made about Daminda Samaranayake. Even Kasun himself had not believed of the tremendous success which he adds his name became instantly known. Kasun has stated that this idea had come to him instantly but \u00a0another such similar creation will not be able to be made with success. Kasun at a media dialog had added that it was after this song his name became widespread. He is in the obsession of writing lyrics for others , Kasun believes that similar creativeness is not possible also the audiences will not accept such \u00a0comparable types to come to light \u00a0Kasun had added in a television dialog that many mothers had called him in appreciation of the lyrics , most had cried while speaking.
