Do you remember George Harrison playing the sitar in ‘Love you to’ (Revolver) and ‘Within you without you’ (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)? Well, guess who his teacher was*...
Today Ravi Shankar’s concert at Nehru Park in Chanakyapuri has been... a ‘spiritual’ experience. All sit on a loan, hypnotized by this neverending, very intimate lullaby, that brought us to a different, very ‘spiritual’ dimension (no, no pot)...
Can’t say if I really fully understood this music, and if I appreciated it as I probably should have had - but can certainly say that I enjoyed this concert very very much. And from Agra to Fathepur Sikri, from 'The Argumentative Indian' (still reading it) to Ravi Shankar, I can’t stop thinking how rich is this culture...
(*) Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know the answer. I didn’t either until this morning...
