I hope your family enjoyed the chaiti and hori and other compositions. Now of course, it is kajri and jhoola time and I have found some really beautiful verses by Bhartendu Babu which I am composing. Inshallah, we will be share them with you at some point of time. Do stay in touch and have a great holiday. Regards from both of us. Shubha and Aneesh Dear Gauri,

Words cannot express my disappointment when I heard that I missed the opportunity of meeting you and attending your music workshop.I truly believe that you sing from and for the soul..I,too,am a a student of classical music and though I started late, I enjoy every minute of it. I hope and trust that you will visit us again soon, as promised. Kind regards, Rita Bhatia Dear Shubhaji,

Its probably because a storm just went by and suddenly the city's quiet. Too quiet. A storm of the world's best vocal talent and consistently brilliant percussion. Also I would like to make a confession to you. "I learnt more than you taught" I not only learnt authentic forms of music but also observed and learnt the importance of eloquent oratory and presentation. So all in all it was an experience of a lifetime. So thankyou once again for the most extraordinary 5 days of my life. Having said that, I wish to learn more from you and would be thankful if you could let me know how or where I could get in touch with you when I come to Mumbai. Thankyou. Regards, Meenal Dear Shubhaji,

I do have a recording of the song but it is on cassette and I have no idea how to upload it,guess it must be first converted to cd. Am going away on holiday tomorow for a month will come back and see what i can do. Yes I do have Nazeer Akbarabadi's "Jab phagun rang jhamakte hon,tab dekh baharen holii ki" It is beautiful,have had it for a while but never picked it up to sing...probably should! Hope you are having a good time in Varanasi.Warm regards Meetali Dear Shubhaji

I am now in India and telling everyone i meet about my once-in-a-lifetime experience .And of course, everywhere i go, I am constantly humming the songs that we learnt.Once i reach my parental home in Dehradun ,the actual singing will start as I give them a complete debriefing . I am carrying all the audio,video and written evidence !! To paraphrase slightly the song from 'The Sound of Music " 'Perhaps I had a wicked childhood, Perhaps I had a miserable youth , But somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good!' When I look back on the past week ,I can only marvel at this phenomenal piece of good fortune that enabled me to interact with you and Aneesh ji at such close quarters .I have always been a fan of your style of rendering music but now after having experienced your warmth ,sincerity and humility I can honestly say that I have been touched by 'divinity'.

I don't know if you have a recording of Ram Babu singing it but if you do, and if you would like to share it with the group, send it to me as an mp3 and I can try and see if it can be placed on a server for everyone to access and download and listen to. Or perhaps, you could sing it for us and we can upload that for everyone, what do you think? Have you read th Holi written by Nazeer Akbarabadi? It is stunning too. Try and see if you can get it somewhere. I think you will like it. Regards Dear Meetali,
