PRAYASH

LOVELY DAYS

These were the days, moments that I would me remembering throught my life. In the schools days my most of the time was spend in a large hall which was dance room of our school. Till now I used to spare my lovely moments with my musical friends. U might have heard about best friends but it is very odd to listen about “musical friends”. They were nothing but the musical instruments like keyboard, harmonium, tabla , guitar…etc

This is the picture of that room from where I got a sense to know little bit or a part of music. Our dance teacher Mrs. Anita used to sit here and take her dance in this room. Although dance classes were taken here but in the mean time I used to practice a lot here. As I belong to a lower middle class family so it was such a condition that I don’t use to do “RIYAZ” in the home and this was the only reason my memorable days are spent in this school dance room. I wanted to know everything about music but I was not able to take music classes due to my family conditions although I would have love if someone has asked me that he’ll teach me respecting my family conditions.

But as it was not my luck to have learnt music I used to learn it myself, God helped e and gave me a power that I started playing Harmonium efficiently and started getting knowing mistakes on my own. My school teachers used to guide me where I went wrong usually and my friend since a long time Kartik Anand also used to share his experience with me. After passing my metric I adopted Non-Medical but usually I love to miss my studies doing music at that time in the school. I was not looking forward towards my courier and was also not too counscious about my studies. Time went on and my attraction towards music kept on increasing  .

These were some of the moments captured by my classmates while rehersing. For some people they feel very cheap playing Harmonium and felt proud to play Keyboard but it was reverse to me that I love to play Harmonium instead of Keyboard. I don’t know but its voice used to touch my heart when someone played it correctly.I don’t know whether I was was doing right or not but I didn’t listened  anyone and kept on doing what I liked. I don’t  have knowledge at that time what to practice but still used to keep on increasing my skills in music.

 

Just used to practice Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa and then used to repeat it in Alankar. I have that much confidence in my mind that I used to make tunes on the spot in the Harmoniun what the people used to recite.
