One man, his life and vision : Part II

For next three years he walked with God like the young Timothy. Time passed by and all things were fine, but when he slowly discovered the hypocrisy within the community, it broke his heart badly. He lost his focus on Jesus and it led him to walk out from the traditional Pentecostal Church. Young Viju couldn't stand the leaders who preached only for their own benefit.

Viju was left alone and didn't know what to do. He felt, he lost five long golden years, which made him a specialist in nothing, as he was twenty years old by then. He found solace in a box guitar and would spend time strumming it. He thought God send music to rescue him. In 1985, he chose music and took it seriously as a career for rest of his life. Then one day he met two musicians playing drums and guitar and liked them and he started visiting them frequently. He started his first band Exodus with Reji, Abe and Mathew.

After two years 'Exodus' was not functioning as a band, musicians got involved in other avenues of life. Viju formed a new band 'Break Chambers'.Later he left in search of better musical opportunities in Bombay. Viju was not successful in making a break through there. In the midst of setbacks, he was getting drawn back to the Lord little by little. He shifted to Bangalore trying for new avenues in music and also started attending Pastor.Paul Thankiah's A.G Church.
