Raaga...

Music makes Memories Intimate!
Rekindles nostalgia,
Of unfolding worlds within
And beyond.
Music makes a magic.
Of the breeze deep within.


A raaga of Bhimsen Joshi...
Stir up the intimate worlds...
And the gush of youthful memories..
Of Sawai Gandharv
Festivals.
Of moonlit nights,
Of motorcycle rides..
Of a tree...in a starry night
Smell of a winter.
Anticipating a spring.

Discovering
Everyday – sunrise, noon, evenings and moon
Smell of Burgi at GaneshKhind.
A fountain in a circle,
Days of sunny drizzle..
Of Music, Cinema, Poetry, Politics
And Love.

Getting Lost
Rediscovering again and again
Learning new pathways.
The raaga of a dawn
Makes me smile.
