I have been interested in Ginans since my childhood because at an early age, I was encouraged by my father, sister and lately by my two boys to use my talent and sing. Growing up, my religious school teacher Alwaez Chunara gave me top marks for her recitals that 'came from the heart.' Since 2013, I have been recording Ginans, Granths and Qasidas recitals for the University of Saskatchewan's Ginan archives (94) to date and for Ismaili.net online database. My passion allows me to learn Ginans, Granths and Qasidas that are not well known and reciting them gives me a lot of pleasure. Making these religious stories and poetry better known to the Jamat is my mission - especially with the youth of our Jamat.
