ISLAMABAD - A professional skier from Norway, Siri Halle is here in Pakistan. Surprisingly she is not here to participate in some skiing contest, but all out of blue, she is here, learning Classical Pakistani Music, while working at the Norwegian Embassy and Younas Mehdi, a classical singer is giving her the classes in this regard. Talking to the Daily Mail, Siri talked about how it all started for her. Siri Halle, hailing from Oslo, Norway says that she believes everyone has a feeling for music, but in her family, music has not been of any ones main interest but she had special feelings. She said that Pakistani classical music attracted her a lot. She said that when she was a little child, she used to play violin and clarinet. However, later she switched over to skiing and most of her youth was about skiing. Then a few years back, during a vacation trip to Iran she started to play Sitar. "I was so inspired, that when I returned home I searched for one who could teach me. And you know music has no borders, and I found an Iranian musician in the centre of Oslo", said Siri Halle. Siri said that she came to Pakistan to work for the Norwegian government, at the Embassy in Islamabad and she thought it was a wonderful opportunity to learn Pakistani classical music though her stay period was going to be very short. "I wanted to learn more about the Pakistani performing art, particularly the music, let's see what I can achieve in this regard", asserted Siri Halle to another question, she said that she was lucky to find Mr. Younas Mehdi. As she listened to his songs at a private function and later requested him to give her a few classes and I hope I would be able to make my dream come true before I leave Pakistan.
