and secondly, aim. She says that if you work hard and you have an aim, a
target which you have to achieve, then you will definitely achieve it.

percussionist with a mastery of some thousand instruments, and hectic
international schedule.

Evelyn also achieved her goal. She worked hard, and she had an aim to
become the top most, the most famous, the most sought-after musician of
the world and she did that. She gained mastery of almost one thousand
musical instruments and she is the most popular multi percussionist of the
world, she has a very busy schedule. She had programmes and concerts
all over the world.

It is intriguing to watch Evelyn function so effortlessly without hearing.

intriguing: fascinating and curious

When you watch Evelyn work or perform so effortlessly although she
cannot hear, you get very curious because Evelyn can identify the
slightest, the minutest sound made by the musical instruments.

In our two-hour discussion she never missed a word.

Now the writer Deborah Cowley took Evelyn‟s interview which lasted for
two hours and Deborah says that Evelyn never missed a single word that
she spoke.

―Men with bushy beards give me trouble,‖ she laughed.

Evelyn says that those men who have long, huge, bushy beards give her
trouble. Why do they give her trouble - because when they speak, she
cannot see their lip movement as their lips are covered with the bushy
beards.
