Puneri tadka

    Pune a city of renowned musicians , theatre personalities ,a place for artists, young aspirants and equally an educational hub. Naturally I was too excited to be coming here to stay  after my graduation, as my father had a transferable job . So we were here until my father's next transfer . Little did I know that I would be staying here longer as I fell in love with the vibrant energy that the city has.

  I didn't know a bit of Marathi then . Somehow we managed to converse  either with Hindi or through the  language of action .
This was the time when I got introduced to the typical Puneri  Marathi.Well ,there are different dialects in Marathi too as we have in Kannada.  So when you greet a person and exchange hellos and how are yous , the person would say  chaaan(pronounced in a singing tone )with a smile . And his/her next sentence would be tumhi kase aahaat ?? Sagla chaaaan (again with swaying and singing tone) .
I would be surprised and eased too for the person answered the question for me!

TODAYS MUSICAL TRENDS & FEW SUGGESTIONS IN THE END.

  Hey all !! a musical hello to everyone!! What's that first thing that's comes to your mind when you listen "music", when I say so . Todays trends in musical world have changed considerably. Thanks to the digital world, everything is available on  a click.   Be it Bollywood, Indian , country music, folk music,   hindustani, ghazals, devotional, abhang, natyageet, bhavgeet , and so on , you have a plethora of them . As a student of Hindusthani music, I keep wondering how much can I really digest( obviously its too much to digest and one genre itself suffices for one whole life time to be true and practical). This learning does'nt really stop. And keeps continued life long or as they say  its a quest of the soul for years together and then in its future incarnations  if you believe. Or music is like an ocean the more you dive into it the deeper it seems. Such an interesting discussion, is'nt it.     It could leave you clueless if you don...

A GREAT TEAM AND AN AWESOME LIFE!

    I had a dream once. In that dream I saw all the organs and parts of the body fighting and arguing with each other as to who is the greatest of them all.  The bones said I am very required by the body as I give shape  and form to it otherwise the body would have been a ball of flesh !  The muscles said I give flesh to the body because of which the body looks elegant.  The skin said if I  weren't there  how  would the body cover your ugly frame and shape !  The mouth said i grind the food with teeth and saliva so that the body gets food. Then the stomach added I digest the food and give energy to the body otherwise how would you live?    The excretory organs replied no no , I remove the waste from the body or else how could the body be clean to work well ,the kidneys too echoed yes if the body isn't out of impurities the body wouldn't be alive even for a minute . The eyes mentioned , don't you forget me , if am not there...

THE SENSE OF BELONGING

 It was a feeling of warmth , a sense of belonging , unconditional love coming  towards you , an assurance that someone has come for you , to instill a belief in you that every thing will be taken care of , such was  the hug, the embrace,  of the soft pleasant  breeze . It was very unexpected , which suddenly came in from the window and just then,  a thought came to my mind , could it be really true , can this really happen . It kept me wondering , my eyes moist with mixed emotions , do things like these happen in today's times , it was all but just read or heard in stories or was I just dreaming. I pinched myself just to make sure it's for real. It was that time of the evening when I would wind up everything and had just come into the room to retire , tired with usual routine chores but not stressed . And this breeze woke me up , stirred me, surprised me , a strange excitement ran through my body , my heart was was waiting...
