Dandiya and me

hmmmmm...............taking long breath before starting..... is this the topic to write for......me thinking now!!!!!!!!!

yes i am marathi,but dandiya raas in navratri in not bounded by any relogion but it bound all religion by thread of love,unity and belif in godess.Above all i belive in power of mata di and feel blessed by her in tough times as well in good times ....

so talking about dandiya ,to the utter surprise i started playing before 6 years and from last 2 yrs not been played .remember first day when i attended this dandiya raas in my old colony.i stand quitely for a long time didnt find courage to participate as dosent know how to play .........after an hour i feel so shamed,angerd on myself ( because i cant play dandiya.... it feels funny but thats fact..i feel like that when unable to do certain things.....or looses with somebody....accpetd its a bad but cant help it).i came back in my room and still remembers the incident my friend sister was there who was my neighbour.she call me up at there res. and with help of belan(oh my poor english....didnt know word replacing above....hmm)she thought me how to play .i was so excited after learning from her i immidietely got down and joined my friends who are playing dandiya .ya even though i m not expert i am not dull too.

Remembering this incident because yesterday i had gone to marathi dandiya on elphiston ground with my degree college friends .scenario was exciting as peoples are dancing in there groups cracking down my thought of all are playing together.i mean peoples r doing garba raas in groups even not playing dandiya.my group started playing garba and this time again as simply cant play garba ....yes i admitt t honestly......i appericiate all those who so stylishly play that ................uhh

thanks to all my friends who gave me lots of **** and teased me for not playing properly (according to them i am playing like police...me too cant stop laughing remembering this).i sat down aside looking closly others playing( lots of gorgeous gals beautifully dancing around !!!!)this time i was not upset coz during time stream i am changing myself atleast trying to get rid of my temper .after observing there steps i started playing garba again as dandiya is not on my friends list(i still donno what these people got by just clapping :( as dandiya seems handsome.........my openion as usal ).after enjoying a lot by playing the way i like i enjoy every moment there of adesh bandekar's marathi dandiya.

I actually left the place wondering about skill of dancers(thinking in mind that next year i will join garba classes but anyhow will learn it...............actually i am not going to do any of this just thinking like that)appreciating them in mind and telling all my dumb(not really!!!) friends that how i am hood dancer is and how bad they are .............:)

ghulam ali live concert....a royal treat

I dont remember the day when first time i listen ghazal and actually become fan of this type of singing.my friend sandeep told me about ghazals in college days and told me few words of "tum itna kyon muskura rahe ho" the lines really cought my attraction and so i started listening more of them and just fall in love of them.

And today after so many years i am lucky one to attend live concert of legendery ghazal singer ghulam ali in mumbai and with his charming voice he made the evening unforgotable for me ohh for all the listeners/ghazal lovers present there....(snap posted here is not of this concert held in mumbai on 20 oct'07)

he started of with "maine lakhoke bol sahe ......following with "main khayal hu kisi aur ka ...muze sochata koi aur hai...." .the wording itself says how u may feel when ghulam ali is in front of you singing with full sprit.good thing about him is he describes hard word i mean those are in pure urdu and difficult to understand and then continuing with the song.this make all really comfortable with tough compositions also.

mehefil goes on with ghazals like "bhul bhi jao beeti batein,in baton mein kya rakha hai",meri nazar se na ho duur ek pal ke liye"

he sung mukhada of"dil mein ek leher si uthi hai abhi..."almost more than 12 times but so sweetly than never felt any repeatence....simply superb....thats why he is call legend... man._:).

remember one sher's of his ghazal..

"roz keheta hu use bhul jaoo,

aur roz ye baat bhul jata hu main...."

and

"ye inayat gazab ki

ye bala ki meherbaani

meri khairiyat puchi

kisi aur ki zabaani"

The atmosphere was magical at the moment and i wondering the stamina of all these peoples i mean music players along with ghulam ali.he himself playing peti(word in marthi but really suits to that organ)as well as singing .

after break of few minutes his shagird naeem ali continued and sung two ghazals and he is promising........really cant expected so good from him.both of his gazals (ye inayat above given is originallu sung by ghulam ali but in concert sung by naeem ali) and "hum sath sath chal rahe hai,kuch log jal rahe hai" was simply rocking.i searched that ghazal on net but unable to found........such a wonderful song ......what to say ...cant express in words

after that ghulam ali continued with his popular tracks like "ye baatein zoothi batein hai,ye logone failayi hai" ,"chamakte chand ko" ,"chupke chupke" and finally hungama kyon hai barpa.........".too be honest i was shivering with pleasure while listening chupke chupke.....the unseen scenario was in front of me worded in that gazal ...hats off .....ghulam ali saab hats off to you.......

the concert was over with above song .all day was fine for me attending pooja in office as well attendning this programme later on. nilya recorded few songs on his cell which i will get soon on cd(thanks to o2-his cell:)).afeer the show me feeling relaxed,happy,quite nervous(listening some touchy songs)and moreover in that mood ...........
