AATHVA SUR- OS MAANEET

AATHVA SUR

  He was crazy for music'.she was crazy for music'..they hated each other'..he loved jazz she loved Indian Classical'..he loved guitar she loved the Tanpura ''..they were together in school'.how many times did he cut of her Tanpura strings so that she couldn't perform'.how often did she hide his guitar and made the teacher make him kneel down''both were lost in their own worlds and they felt music of the east and the west would never mingle'.

  She was Geet and he was Maan'..their family were friends'..their parents wanted to fix up the two'the townsmen thought they were a couple made in paradise'.but they hated each other'.in the mornings when Geet practiced her Bhairavi he would deliberately turn on some rock music to its fullest volume to disturb her '..when he would practice his country music she would turn on her Sufi's or Kirtans to the fullest volume'..as Oriental music and western music were always different categories in college they never had the fortune of competing each other'.the town knew they were the best singers'.all functions had them as singers'even AIR had them as listen singers'as they passed out of college they treated each other with maturity'.they had stopped sabotaging each other'..they would continue hating each other and crossing each other's paths if not for the declaration'..the declaration that there was a search for the most happening Music group of the country'..both had their own groups and they would sure participate but kahani mein twist tha'only one participant per town or city'..ab kya hoga? How will the two different cultural thoughts meet?...

 Arre Geet to sun to'no way Ronnie I will not perform any stupid soulless song'oyye you jahi gawar Jazz is not soulless'. Maan tu bhi'..Ronnie mujhe bhi wo boring raga gaane ka koi shauq nehi hai'then what will we do? Hmm bol na? fir humare town se koi nomination nehi jaegi? Remember what Mayor saab said either it is the two of you together or none'..mere paas ek idea hai said Saakshi'now keep your ideas to yourelf'well tum log idea sun to lo'.why don't we sing Pancham Da? His songs are a perfect blend of east and west'..Pancham Da'.both paid respect to him and none couldn't say know'par I mean'emm hum'That's it guys we have the solution mein abhi nomination papers fill karta hu'..but Group ka naam nein choose karungi Maan nehi'oyye you chhipkali tujhe kya lagta hai you will choose and I will accept it?...shut up you wild boar'.

    Chhhuppp ye idea mera tha to naam bhi mein hi doongi'..the group will be called BOSS'..kya?...hmm boss ka gaana gayenge to BOSS hi to naam hona chahie hai na?...Both stared at Sakshi and agreed'.to kal practice at 5 am?...okay

    None turned up except the two lead singers Geet and Maan'..it was raining heavily but when it came to music they were never deterred'  when he arrived she was already singing

Sulag Sulag Jaaye Mann

Bheege Aaj Is Mausam Mein

Lagi Kaisi Yeh Agan

He was suddenly aware of her voice'.it was sweet and sometimes a bit nasal just the right mixture for modern playback

She had her eyes shut lost in RD's music'when he joined her'.

 Her trance broke and they were lost in each other and completed the song'.emm Geet you have a good voice'.Maan tum playback kyon nehi karte?...the rest of the gang watched them praising each other'Ronnie east meets west ke chakkar mein to yaha do dil mil rahe hai''

Part 2

   Emm Geet I mean tum ye perform karogi?...she was lost in something'..Maan dekho these glasses and spoons also make music'..yes Geet dekho shayad music is tier mein bhi hai'..they laughed together oblivious of the fact that Ronnie was calling Geet'.Maan firse wo drum bajao na'hmm Geet tum wo Malkosh gao fir'..they were busy mixing and matching their two worlds the worlds they thought would never match'.but there was one man who had matched the two worlds ''how could a music lover not get engulfed in RD'yes even Maan had'.they were practicing when they heard him play the guitar and sing'..

doli mein bithaayi ke kahaar... 

Having settled me in the wedding palanquin, the bearer

laaye mohe sanjana ke dwaar 

carried me on behalf of my beloved,

doli mein bithaayi ke kahaar 

having settled me in the wedding palanquin.

bite din khushiyon ke chaar deke dukh man ko hazaar 

I passed a few days of joy for a thousand days of sorrow.

marke nikalna tha... 

Dying, I had to emerge...

ghar se saavariyaa ke jite ji nikalna para 

Living, I had to depart my beloved's house.

phuulon jaise paanvon mein par gaye ye chhaale re 

Blisters formed on feet like flowers

 Geet fell her mouth flung open'.ye Maan gaa raha hai?...OMG '..she ran and hugged him Maan was shocked so were the band mates'.he reluctantly hugged her back'..tumhare voice mein jadoo hai hum zaroor jitenge'.hum tab tak nehi jitenge jub tak tum mera saath na do he whispered'..she lost in him sang

Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote

Tumhein dekh ke to lagta hai aise
Bahaaron ka mausam aaya ho jaise
Tumhein dekh ke to lagta hai aise
Bahaaron ka mausam aaya ho jaise
Dikhayi na deti andheron mein jyoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti the crowd had gone crazy by then''

 Boss the magician brought the two worlds together'.yes Boss was mad'he saw music everywhere'.he saw music in abandoned items Boss agar hote to I am sure today we would have an AATHVA SUR''today this very much in love musical couple are bound by the scared Aathva Sur'they didn't win the award but they found each other and I am sure like me and millions of other plans they are celebrating their Cupid and our Boss RD BURMAN's Birthday'..me signing off have a little cake cutting on Pancham Da's birthday'till then have a Musical Monday
