Cely,
Thanks for the appreciation shown for the music of India. Here what is shown is the Veena it is a string instrument. This has been there since the Vedic age more than 7000 centuries ago. This is the instrument played by Goddess Saraswati the Goddess of Knowledge in the Hindu religion. One more interesting thing is that before are sent to school. There is a function conducted known as Aksharabhyasa which is performing pooja for this particular Goddess and seeking her blessing that the child grown into a brainy, intelligent and wise child.
I do not know if we can put a you tube in this reply hence am not doing the same. But it is played instrumental and it is also played along with singing too. This is famous in south India while its cousin the Sitar one more string instrument is famous in the North India. Listening to booth is nice. You will get lots of downloads of veena recitals in google by famous music personalities.

Thank you Krishna for putting up such a wonderful topic You have almost covered all the variety of Indian music. But one of the major sector has not been touched. There should be some category like modern songs which are not film song. Mainly sung by solo artists or bands. These songs are also very rich with their music and lyrics. Sometimes these musics are mix of several categories. I know it is hard to put all category in detail. Then this blog will be huge in size.
In short you have done a wonderful job.-
Thanks for the appreciation. I understood what you are trying to point out. This post became too long and I had to unfortunately stop at where I did. I actually wanted to cover what you have highlighted and some other forms too. Will try to put a different post for that. Best wishes.

Music produced and performed by artists from India certainly does have variety and is very entertaining.

Thanks for the inputs and happy to hear your view on this topic. Best wishes.

Question about that particular instrument that you show as your featured image. Is there like someone in India who is considered a master as playing it and making sweet melodies? Don’t know if you’re familiar with the musician Gheorghe Zamfir. He’s Romanian and people say he’s the master of the plan flute. I was wondering if there is someone similar in India who plays that stringed instrument in the picture. I’m not sure what the instrument is called but I have heard it played. If you know who is the master of that instrument, it would probably make an excellent blog post.
-
It is called the Veena and Late Chitti Babu was one of the masters who played there are many who pursue it in South India. S. Balachander, Asad Ali Khan, Rash Behari Dutta, Shrikant Pathak, R.V.Hegde to name a few of the many masters who play this instrument. This also comes in different forms like Rudra Veena etc.

Thanks for the quick lesson. Appreciate you responding.

though liked the old songs in salman khans and aamir khan movies since we were kids, i have to say the music now is so much greater and rocks, i like it and all the world like it too

True today’s music has evolved according to the times and the generation. The number of instruments used and the experimentation too has made the range very vast. It is a industry which is rapidly growing in India. Many albums have also become chart busters and people need not be in the film industry to get into the music industry as there are many companies which release albums and make the artiste famous overnight.
I feel there is lot of scope for music in our country with a rich and wide array of instruments, playing and singing styles. Fusion music too has reached new heights. Audience whether old or new are open to experimentation. The tend to appreciate good music which has variety and is different from what is already existing and is pleasing to ones years. Lyrics too play an important part as catchy lyrics are liked by youngsters when the composition is good. Thanks for the input.

Some people do not take their jobs seriously, like that project engineer who allowed the installation of the ceilings without the wirings yet inside it. He should know it was his fault.

To besafe, do not give so much information about yourself on strangers on the net. As I mentioned in my post, scammers can easily hide behind their keyboards. The unsuspecting victim might be easily be fooled if he would not investigate first before agreeing with a stranger on the net.

yes, keeping yourself safe is important.. and very possible

That’s so funny. It’s been happening to me ever since I started receiving mail. I’ve been getting mail delivered to me addressed “Mr.” for as long as I can remember. Getting on the Internet didn’t change anything. What’s odd is that even with my picture online, I still get called “sir” or “mister”. 🙂
-
Are you getting messages from Russian hotties?
-
I can’t remember if they were Russian. But when I get them it makes me laugh! I have in my memory a cartoon I once saw where two animals were sitting in front of a computer and one is telling the other: “Don’t worry. On the Internet they don’t know you’re a dog!” 🙂

Can California stand on it’s own if it leaves the Union?

Yes, as I said, if California was a country it would be the 8th richest in the world.

You had listed all the important things that a traveler has to do and remember to avoid undue incidents that might affect his travel. It is best to be prepared and be safe always.

Thank you for appreciating the article. I have not covered airline travel as that is entirely different to others. Will do so in another post.

Airlines if they want to tighten their belts. It is better they provide good quality service, maintain flight times, see that passengers are not harassed, provide amenities to passengers at airports rather than charging and making every service a pay and use variety, See customer is respected from whichever part of the world one is.
They should avoid too much of automation and cutting of jobs as if any serious problem arises then manpower is required to handle such issues and machines will not solve the problem. Respect employees for what they are appreciate their work, see their requirements are well taken care of and they are not treated as use and throw material or like a tissue paper.

If Number 4 were true I would have died a thousand times already. 🙂 I eat lots of leftover rice!

I think we are probably immune to it, cause we do eat a lot of rice. And many people leave it on the stove, covered, over night.
