Emotions!

"Viswa Mohan"...means the beautiful thing in the whole world, or can also be interpreted as the one that makes the world around you beautiful...Indeed!!

Yesterday, as the last event inAvenues-07 we had a musical night function by Viswa Mohan Bhatt on his Mohan Veena along with his son Sali Bhatt...

It was a performance that touched the chords of so many countless emotions, there is not one that I can speak about in this blog.

Every chord plucked in the veena seems to have touched that part of the inner body which arises all these emotions...

More than plucking it was like a painting being drawn with the veena being the canvas and the paint brush the strings on the fret...There

The artists got so involved in the play as if they are lost in their own world of solace, even if there was no one around they would have been equally happy in their play.

It dropped in my mind, what would the veena be thinking when they are playing so vigorouly on it, would it be worried about all the things that the artists' fingers are doing on its chords, would be it be concerned if one of its strings maybreakdown, or would be it be happy and lost in its world, thinking that, the strings are there to be plucked at and what better place to die than in the hands of its own master.

During the Jugalbandi, when all the three players are shaking their heads in unison to the tunes, it felt as if

Though Viswa Mohan Bhatt looked like Vijay Mallya, there is so much difference in the way they get their happiness...One probably extracts from the material things and the happiness is limited to himself and the other's happiness looks eternal and he can also ensure that the people listening to his music get the same amount of happiness...

The sad thing about this blog is that I dont remember all the emotions and the thoughts that were passing through my mind during the performance...It is my inability to reproduce my thoughts which is preventing me from writing any further in this article...

I hope every one had an enriching experience from the play!!
