Har MuLLakKat kA aNjam jUdai kYoN hO?

A week of wonderful days!..thats what I experienced with some spice for the soul. I feel, every moment of it might have resonated with the inner being of all those who experienced it. Starting from Shubha Mudgal saying, “Is shahar ko shoharat na rahi” was situational with the stirs that took place during the week…She thoughtfully provoked the minds against the regional chauvinism that showed its ugly face recently. Much more touching was the exclamation by Talat Aziz-“har mullakkat ka anjam judai kyon ho??” - it does relate to me and probably many who listened to him…and then Pankaj Udhas took me to those touching lines “ Deewaron se milkar rona acha lagta hai..” -he reasoned the insanity and the pain unambiguously.
So do the journey with the “Heart Beats” ..when Shankar Mahadevan emphasised the first rhythm we all hear…the music of our own mother’s heart, when we were in the womb!…The Heart Beats created by these exponents were magnificent to confirm the first beats of all of us…reminiscent of those beats, which I feel every one of us will love to experience again and cherish. Who will not wish to go back to our mother’s womb?, to bask in that glory forever. The journey had a gratifying ending with the Mohiniattam performance by danseuse Miti Desai, when she performed the “Oomana thinkal kidavo” by her gracious movements with consummate ease…Yes, she herself transformed into an enchantress!...Thanks to all those wonderful moments of the past week…..and I felt I lived for a while!
