The last puff of the day-wind brought from the unseen villages the scent of damp wood smoke, hot cakes, dripping undergrowth, and rotting pine-cones. That smell is the true smell of the Himalayas, and if it once gets into the blood of a man he will, at the last, forgetting everything else, return to the Hills to die

Tere Qadmon Pe Sar Hoga – Jagjit Singh Ghazal Cover on Guitar

Posted on 4 March, 2019

Dug up my 12 yr old Guitar at my parents house today at Rohtak and tried learning this haunting Ghazal by Jagjit Singh. A 60 second video with intro verse. Ghazal is written by Seemab Akbarabadi.

When the fire burns out, some sparks remain in the midst of embers still waiting for another flame. That's how life is and we often forget to feed the fire and only seek warmth in the temporal embers. Let's pray and hope and persevere to endeavor...
Some sparks from our days in a village in Himachal in the shade of Chinar trees, silence, vibrating hills and starlit skies.

I wandered today to the hills to watch the creek below..and someone wise whispered that each breath we take is a pearl that must be cherished. Each moment lived with constant awareness shall see us live this life with neither pain nor pleasure, but with a sense of equanimity.

Diwali followed by my birthday in a remote village in Himachal where we took long walks amidst fallen autumn leaves of Chinar trees, spent time in meditation and singing songs...far away from the smoke strained air of Gurgaon. The first snow of the season earlier this morning on the Dhauladhar ranges in the backdrop set our minds aglow. Someday we will make these hills our home and until then we aspire to carry back the learnings, the vibration and some faded autumn leaves 🔥🙏

#Nundbane #KashmiriSong #KashmiriPandit #KatyuChukh

This is my daring attempt to sing this melodious Kashmiri Folk Song. There are a lot of different versions of this song out there so I modified according to my own taste and strumming. For the record *I can not speak Kashmiri* so it was quite an effort getting the pronunciation right as I bugged a lot of people and picked the verses that I could sing 🙂

Nundbane - translates to "the apple of my eye" in Kashmiri. In this song, the lady protagonist playfully beckons her paramour to her in a loving, joyful harmony!

Lyrics:
Katyu chukh nundh bane
walo mashook miyane
Mei korui na chanai chanai
walo mashook miyane

Sharab ke pyaleh baryo,
Gulaban maal kar-yo.
Pagah ya kael maryo,
walo mashook miyane
Katyu chukh...

Bah suraat chukhse parii
Cha shoobi jaa mai zarri
Kamyo ta weez kareii,
walo mashook miyane

This is one song that I first heard back in school and after 20 yrs, it's time to give it a try. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
और इस दिल में क्या रखा है
तेरा ही प्यार छुपा रखा है
चीर के देखे दिल मेरा तो
तेरा ही नाम लिखा रखा है

प्यार के अफ़साने सुने थे लोगों से
प्यार क्या होता है ये तूने समझाया
मिला दिल तुझ से तो ख़्वाब देखे ऐसे
जुनूं जाने कैसा जवां दिल पे छाया
दिल में ऐसा दर्द उठा, दिल हो गया दीवाना
दीवानों ने इस दुनिया में, दर्द का नाम दवा रखा है

निगाहों में मेरी ये सूरत है तेरी
ज़िन्दगी ये मेरी अमानत है तेरी
धड़कते सीने में मोहब्बत है तेरी
मोहब्बत ये तेरी, इबादत है मेरी
तेरे सिवा कुछ याद नहीं है, तू ही तू दिल में
दिल ने यार की पूजा की है, प्यार का नाम खुदा रखा है

This song is dedicated to my wonderful wife, Dr Varuna Raina. I recorded this last night on the eve of our sixth Wedding Anniversary at 2am. I first heard this song in college when I bought the DVD Of this concert. The Poetry and the rendition make this an immortal song. This is one of those rare songs whose every single word will paint the picture if you close your eyes. I hope I did some justice to this amazing love ballad. Wishing for peace and bliss for the greatest songwriter ever, John Denver!
