Since morning, I started singing Raag Bhairavi - A Meera bhajan which goes like this
Kahiyore prabhu aawan ki
aawan ki manbhaawan ki
Aap na aaye likh nahi bheje
baan pade lalchaawan ki
Ye do naina baat na maane
nadiya bahe jaise sawaan ki
Ka kahoon kuch bas nahin mero
Pankh nahin ud jawan ki
Meera ke prabhu kab re miloge
cher bhai mere daaman ki
daaman ki manbhawan ki
I have practiced this bhajan about 25 times today and my wife says "you sing very well". Flattery ? , I think for a moment, but then I know my wife never lies.

From Kuldeep's Desk
Another day has gone by!
Wo saal kam kar raha tha mere
Mein apni Umr badha raha tha !
How true are the lines written by Gulzar..I think in solitude.
Depression has completely embraced me. It happens to me sometimes. This time it was because of a Kannada novel called "Vamsha Vriksha" (The Family Tree) written by a prolific, highly admired, gifted Kannada novelist S.L Bhairappa. It' s been my old habit to complete a novel as soon as possible by reading it thru - end to end - with total devotion. I do not generally concentrate on anything else during this emotional journey through a bunch of characters.
The story is highly emotional and had brought tears in my eyes on a couple of occasions. The last event of the novel wherein an elderly person embraces Sanyasa was so disturbing to my mind that I have been out of sorts after this reading.
