it was Vasantutsav-08.. i was one of the volunteer..cell rang n frnd said "i wanna listen to Abida Parveen but have no tickets, some how manage"
[even though v both knew it was against our ethics...i let him IN w/o tickts]
later on i was lost in managing last min crowd....n within fem minutes... i entered the world which i have never been the 'SUFI' world...
n i realized what "Abida ji" is

my all time fav word "EXPLORE" n then started listening to all sufi..ghazhals, trying to understand the insight of the singer, the complete composition, history behind.

within few days received a mail ek Fhankar [ introducing inner voice of ghazhals..]

me apps ..kets started in mail threads discussing ghazhals meanings.. n stuff

recently on pak's Independence day... came across fundu stuff Coke Studio

looking ontu my exploration for music till date..after classical I music...this sufi/ghazhal world have touched the sole :)
