Dear Bhau,

Last Sunday we your daughters, discussed about which songs you liked. Shruti has posted many of your selections on this blog. 

Your choice of music was very wide and very large-ranging. From rap to classical; melody to pathos; natya-sangeet to gazals and so on......... 

This we all have inherited from you, to listen to good music of any genre. But you didn't like any artificial compositions. 

Your music was always easy flowing, in one tune without complexities and without too many high or low notes. But you did like the variable tones of music of Ghulam Ali. He was your favourite.

I always wondered why did you not enjoy some numbers and didn't like some of my selections of songs with complex tunes and expressions of rare ragas. 

Your choice of music was easy to understand, easy to connect with mood of the song, easy to feel and easy to remember.

Bhau, thank you for making me understand the difference between good and bad and the discern needed to develop the taste for good music.

We remember all the beautiful moments we shared with you attending different musical programs from stars to upcoming talents.

At the end-

Phool khile hain gulshan gulshan
Lekin apna apna daaman............

Love you Bhau, always and eternally.....

Shubhada
