Music running before or after us !
Someone told me that there was a time when we ran after
music while at present music seems to run after us. Well-it
gave me food for thought. I was really in a fix since it made
me loose my precious sleep. For some moments I reflected
upon the matter.
Yes I agree what is mentioned as ' Golden era of music' but
somehow disagree too about the notion that the present era
is aiming towards nothingness.
With due regards to artists like Md.Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha
Bhonsle, Manna De,Kishore Kumar to our Bengal artists Hemanta
Mukherjee, Sandhya Mukherjee, Shyamal Mitra etc. - I would
still like to claim the supremacy of Music -even more-during the
present era. At times it stunns me to see very little girls and boys
performing at levels unthinkable during the said era.
Reality Shows in TV, easy access to YouTube etc has given us the
freedom to listen to any kind of music anywhere,anytime. It was
not always possible during the so called 'Golden era' for everyone
to have that comfort-I agree.
