"Turn your limitations and weaknesses into your strengths" | Usha Uthup | TEDxIMIKolkataWomen

[@bindugirish380]

She is the one who taught the world that music is not about physical appearance, attire or voice -- music is heavenly. I admire her. Such a humble person.I salute her

[@shruthibharadwaj8248]

So natural! No planning of speech. She expressed what she experienced.

[@youthwave]

The best thing about Usha is that she dared to break stereotypes and went ahead with all her creativity. A great inspiration to all who feel held back by their limitations

[@anweshachakraborty8029]

Some people are beyond limitations. They don't need inspiration, but they automatically become inspiration to others. Usha ji I LOVE YOU

[@sumetrashivashankar1078]

VERY TRUE ...... 🙂

[@ValsaGeorge9]

[@jaygeorgie3176]

Q

[@SKS71175]

She's a shower of positive energy be it singing to her speech. Love you.

[@sudharaghavan8645]

A very eloquent speaker, extremely articulate and confident in her abilities! These inborn talents whether a limitation or a blessing is a lesson to be learnt and applied to all of us.

[@praveenModlier]

I have greatest respect for her. I have seen her since my middle school days some four decades ago on DD. She has never lost her balance of thinking despite her extraordinary challenges. She never made it big in her singing world yet she was adored by many. Her talent is rated from moderate to reasonably good but never reached the zenith. This has never frustrated her nor she gave up on her life. Her lifestyle should be inspiration especially for those who whine and complain. May God bless Ushaji with health, happiness and prosperity. Jai Hind!!

[@SyedaFRF]

I'm speechless! I do not love myself & by listening her cordial speech I now have found the strength and ways to love myself. Thanks from my core of heart ❤

[@leelasr686]

Unique personality. Love her for being herself. Confidence booster.
