Usha Uthup

“The experience has been surreal,” said Usha Uthup over a telephone call from Rome, last evening. The Kolkata singer sang at the canonisation of Mother Teresa. “It has been unbelievable. I am absolutely spent in happiness. I have witnessed such scenes and been part of a piece of history. I am so grateful to God for making this possible. Somebody I talked with, walked with, worked with, shared and cared with... I always knew she was a living Saint, but yesterday she was proclaimed a Saint in front of the whole world,” said Uthup, who added the waves of excitement were still coursing through her body at what she had witnessed.
