Bedardi Tune Darda Naa jaana
Hi folks I m back in Chennai and I was quite free after my class. I just went for a long walk in the roads of this very familiar but yet alien city. I carried my pod along and was listening to the maestro Rashid Khans collection.. .
There came the thumri Bedardi tune dard na jaana …. In mishra pahari . . . what an awesome rendition! Thumris are a very great contribution to the society. The literature celebrates pain and madness in love but the music sustains and safeguards lot of traditional tunes. It is sung in free style with lots of improvisation. Rashid khan’s immaculate capability and maturity as a musician reflects in this album. It was followed by the bhairavi bhajan ajj raadha brij ko chali . . . . How romantic and yet how subtle and divine!!
The lights where glittering on all sides of the roads. The breeze caressed me with its soft touch as I walked lost in music. People were retiring from their work and I was actually lost in an irony. I was surrounded by people, all strangers who were in hurry to run back home and I was between them like any another stranger. But I had found a peace within myself that persuaded me to look at the closeness with a distance from which I could perceive their commotion.
With music and an open heart I felt one with all of them. One with the breeze, one with life and one with the universe.
It is so meaningful to find oneness amongst strangers than suffer from differences with people you care for . . .
