Surprising Sargam Taan by a boy!
I suddenly found myself in a quiet place. It was surrounded by rows of trees and bushes and had a very desolate look. As far as l could see there was the same desolation. It was a kind of inspiration or rather an encouragement to bring out my inner emotions. In fact a perfect ambiance to practice my most loved passion- my Music ! Soon l immersed myself in an Alaap in Raag Bairagi.My eyes were closed as the mood demanded. Around 30 minutes later l opened my eyes to find a little boy of ten standing before me. He seemed to be following my Alaap very attentively. Wherefore did he come? thought l. The little boy requested me not to stop and carry on. For another 10 minutes l continued and the boy stood there with the same interest and concentration. I stopped the Alaap and asked him whether he could understand my music. To my great surprise he sang the same Raaga in Drut Tentaal. For 15 minutes he sang along with Taans and Sargams including Chakradhar, Tehai etc. (To be continued)
