3
00:04:57,375 --> 00:04:59,083
-Let's not spend too much.
-Okay.
4
00:05:01,291 --> 00:05:05,083
-Do you have kurta-pajamas?
-Yes. What kind do you want?
5
00:05:05,625 --> 00:05:08,291
Not too dressy, but not too plain.
6
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:09,791
Show me some simple ones.
7
00:05:13,458 --> 00:05:14,833
How much is this?
8
00:05:14,916 --> 00:05:16,291
750 rupees.
9
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:22,333
Show me that white one.
10
00:05:22,416 --> 00:05:23,458
The one at the top.
11
00:05:25,375 --> 00:05:26,708
How's this?
12
00:05:28,166 --> 00:05:29,166
It's nice.
13
00:05:31,416 --> 00:05:33,666
Do check the fitting of the pajamas.
14
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:35,708
You need to sit comfortably on stage.
15
00:05:35,791 --> 00:05:39,500
Thank you for the warning, Grandma.
I've never bought clothes before.
16
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:43,458
Mind if I try them on and sit down?
17
00:05:43,541 --> 00:05:46,708
How can I let you, sir? They'll get dirty.
18
00:05:48,583 --> 00:05:50,083
Should I try on a shawl too?
19
00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:52,500
Shawl? Why just a shawl?
20
00:05:52,583 --> 00:05:56,208
Flaunt some diamond rings
and gold chains as well on stage.
21
00:05:57,291 --> 00:06:00,208
You think the judges
will give you points for your clothes?
22
00:06:02,791 --> 00:06:05,458
Father always said, "Once you're on stage,
23
00:06:05,541 --> 00:06:07,666
everything is part of the performance."
24
00:06:17,583 --> 00:06:20,625
Our next contestant is Sharad Nerulkar.
25
00:06:29,833 --> 00:06:31,833
I'm presenting Raag Bageshree,
26
00:06:31,916 --> 00:06:34,583
a traditional composition in fast tempo.
27
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:57,583
Are you busy?
28
00:06:58,666 --> 00:07:00,916
What the hell, Ajji? Can't you see?
29
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,541
Your mother is on the phone. Talk to her.
30
00:07:03,625 --> 00:07:05,416
I'll call her later.
31
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:08,375
You've been saying
"later, later" for so many days.
32
00:07:08,458 --> 00:07:11,208
Stop bugging me.
I said I'd call her later.
33
00:07:11,291 --> 00:07:14,916
She's saying you
haven't answered her calls in three days.
34
00:07:15,458 --> 00:07:18,125
My phone wasn't working.
35
00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:21,166
Viju has been unwell for many days.
36
00:07:21,708 --> 00:07:25,125
What can I do from here?
She'll just have to deal with it.
37
00:07:25,208 --> 00:07:26,958
Go and visit her.
38
00:07:27,833 --> 00:07:30,333
Ajji, my competition is in two days.
39
00:07:30,416 --> 00:07:33,458
Please let me practice.
Tell her I will call her.
40
00:07:34,208 --> 00:07:37,666
Tell her yourself. Don't involve me.
41
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,416
I keep getting caught
between the two of you.
42
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,125
Such a headache.
43
00:07:42,875 --> 00:07:45,000
Is that any reason to start crying now?
44
00:08:25,958 --> 00:08:30,708
Saints and ascetics
have attained this music
45
00:08:30,791 --> 00:08:34,333
after thousands of years
of rigorous spiritual pursuit.
46
00:08:34,416 --> 00:08:37,208
It cannot be learnt so easily.
47
00:08:39,166 --> 00:08:41,541
Even ten lifetimes are not enough.
48
00:08:43,583 --> 00:08:46,708
The sacred texts don't merely prescribe,
49
00:08:46,791 --> 00:08:49,083
"This Raag uses the Pancham,"
50
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:54,375
or, "That Raag skips the Dhaivat."
51
00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:59,916
Through this music,
52
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:05,333
we are shown the path to the Divine.
53
00:09:09,041 --> 00:09:12,125
There's a reason
why Indian classical music
54
00:09:12,208 --> 00:09:15,500
is considered an Eternal Quest.
55
00:09:17,625 --> 00:09:20,583
And to embark on that quest,
56
00:09:20,666 --> 00:09:23,833
you will have to surrender and sacrifice.
57
00:09:25,083 --> 00:09:27,666
If you want to earn money,
58
00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:31,000
raise a family,
59
00:09:31,833 --> 00:09:35,500
then perform love songs or film songs.
60
00:09:36,583 --> 00:09:38,833
Don't tread this path.
61
00:09:39,583 --> 00:09:42,250
If you want to walk this path,
62
00:09:42,333 --> 00:09:45,833
learn to be lonely and hungry.
63
00:10:29,916 --> 00:10:30,916
Here.
64
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,791
Do you need anything else?
65
00:10:34,333 --> 00:10:35,166
No.
66
00:10:35,916 --> 00:10:39,000
I heard that Sumit Khade
from Nagpur is competing too.
67
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:40,750
He has solid training.
68
00:10:40,833 --> 00:10:43,041
Why are you saying this in front of him?
69
00:10:43,125 --> 00:10:45,666
I met Rishi and Kruti outside.
70
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:46,791
They're so sly.
71
00:10:47,375 --> 00:10:50,625
I casually asked them
what Raag they're performing today.
72
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:54,250
They just didn't reply.
Avoided the subject totally.
73
00:10:54,916 --> 00:10:56,875
-Drop it now.
-Sharad Nerulkar?
74
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:58,625
Sharad?
75
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:07,166
-All the best.
-Yes.
76
00:12:01,125 --> 00:12:03,083
I'm presenting Raag Bageshree.
77
00:12:03,875 --> 00:12:07,083
A traditional composition in fast tempo.
78
00:13:26,916 --> 00:13:27,958
Thanks.
79
00:13:29,583 --> 00:13:31,583
Bravo! What a performance.
80
00:13:32,333 --> 00:13:35,125
Our next contestant is Nitin Avasthe.
81
00:13:35,208 --> 00:13:36,083
That was good.
82
00:13:36,166 --> 00:13:37,625
-Honestly?
-Yes. It was good.
83
00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:41,958
Was the reverb too much?
I couldn't tell from the stage.
84
00:13:42,041 --> 00:13:43,708
No, it was fine.
85
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:47,750
Let's give him a big hand.
86
00:13:57,791 --> 00:14:01,041
And the much awaited moment
87
00:14:01,125 --> 00:14:02,791
has finally arrived.
88
00:14:03,541 --> 00:14:06,125
The judges have come to a decision.
89
00:14:06,208 --> 00:14:08,875
To present the Gupte Builders Awards
90
00:14:08,958 --> 00:14:12,041
for Young Performer 2006,
91
00:14:12,125 --> 00:14:15,875
I invite
Mr. Dattatreya Kirloskar on stage.
92
00:14:15,958 --> 00:14:17,750
A big round of applause.
93
00:14:24,833 --> 00:14:28,125
He is the son of
Maestro Balkrishna Kirloskar.
94
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:34,375
He is a little late, but he has come
all the way from Mulund to be with us.
95
00:14:39,541 --> 00:14:44,750
I request Mr. Dattatreya
to present the winners with a trophy.
96
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:51,416
The third prize goes to Namita Satam.
97
00:14:58,833 --> 00:15:02,416
The second prize goes to Sumit Khade.
98
00:15:08,791 --> 00:15:12,458
And today's ultimate,
most important award,
99
00:15:12,541 --> 00:15:17,083
The winner of Young Performer 2006 is…
100
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,375
Chinmayee Wadhawkar!
101
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:32,791
Hearty congratulations
to the winners from Gupte Builders.
102
00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:34,500
A huge round of applause.
103
00:16:13,333 --> 00:16:16,291
As you breathe in,
think positive thoughts.
104
00:16:18,166 --> 00:16:19,541
As you breathe out,
105
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:25,166
let go of any negative thoughts.
106
00:16:30,916 --> 00:16:32,666
Now we will meditate.
107
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:42,791
Do not stop any thoughts.
108
00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:56,708
Now we will start the breathing exercise.
109
00:17:27,166 --> 00:17:30,708
A restless mind
110
00:17:32,041 --> 00:17:35,083
simply cannot sing Khayal music
111
00:17:35,166 --> 00:17:38,708
with depth and authenticity.
112
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:45,875
To worship every note,
113
00:17:46,541 --> 00:17:49,791
every microtone,
114
00:17:50,458 --> 00:17:56,041
your mind has to be pure and unblemished.
115
00:17:59,416 --> 00:18:01,458
What is Khayal?
116
00:18:02,291 --> 00:18:05,333
It is the state of mind of the singer
117
00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:09,791
at that time, in that particular moment.
118
00:18:10,625 --> 00:18:15,458
He presents that state
through the medium of a Raag.
119
00:18:16,833 --> 00:18:21,125
While singing, you yourself don't know
120
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,500
which new aspect
121
00:18:23,583 --> 00:18:28,500
of the Raag you will uncover.
122
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:38,166
If you want the Truth of the Raag
to spontaneously reveal itself,
123
00:18:38,833 --> 00:18:41,625
you will have to rid
your mind of falsehood,
124
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:46,625
greed, and impure thoughts.
125
00:18:49,291 --> 00:18:52,000
Not everyone has the inherent discipline
126
00:18:52,083 --> 00:18:55,958
and faith required for this…
127
00:18:56,041 --> 00:18:57,500
You're still at it?
128
00:18:57,583 --> 00:18:59,666
Enough of this Maai saga now.
129
00:19:00,458 --> 00:19:03,458
What saga? This is also work, isn't it?
130
00:19:03,541 --> 00:19:06,333
These are hour-long tapes.
Obviously it will take time.
131
00:19:07,166 --> 00:19:08,333
Do those later.
132
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:11,916
Have you completed
the Sadarang Conference ones?
133
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,333
Yes, '72 and '74 are done.
134
00:19:14,416 --> 00:19:15,791
I can't find the '73 tape.
135
00:19:16,375 --> 00:19:17,416
How can that be?
136
00:19:17,958 --> 00:19:20,416
It was right here. I saw it the other day.
137
00:19:21,083 --> 00:19:22,291
I haven't seen it.
138
00:19:23,583 --> 00:19:27,500
That one has
Rambhau Arolkar's Basant-Bahar on it.
139
00:19:28,666 --> 00:19:30,125
He sang it so well.
140
00:19:30,625 --> 00:19:32,708
That man was a master of combining Raags.
141
00:19:34,166 --> 00:19:35,541
Look for that tape.
142
00:19:36,875 --> 00:19:40,125
We have an order
to make a CD box set, 1972 to 1975.
143
00:19:41,541 --> 00:19:42,583
How many?
144
00:19:43,666 --> 00:19:46,958
Make a master. Then we'll do 30-40 sets.
145
00:19:55,666 --> 00:19:59,041
MAAI'S SPEECHES
146
00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:19,833
Do you have any Shankar Bhatt CDs?
147
00:20:19,916 --> 00:20:20,750
No, sir.
148
00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:24,416
How about Sultan Saheb?
149
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,458
No, they are out of stock.
150
00:20:27,833 --> 00:20:29,791
Then what would you recommend?
151
00:20:30,458 --> 00:20:34,291
Actually, sir, we specialize
in rare and lesser-known records.
152
00:20:34,375 --> 00:20:37,958
All these CDs have been
converted from old cassettes and LPs.
153
00:20:39,375 --> 00:20:41,500
I've never heard of these names.
154
00:20:41,583 --> 00:20:44,458
Yes, sir, but they are
as good as the famous names.
155
00:20:45,166 --> 00:20:47,416
For example,
this is Ustad Nissar Aslam Shaikh
156
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:48,750
of the Agra tradition.
157
00:20:48,833 --> 00:20:50,875
He had the same guru as Sultan Saheb.
158
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:52,958
But he didn't get as much recognition.
159
00:20:53,625 --> 00:20:55,458
-How much is it?
-150 rupees.
160
00:20:57,083 --> 00:20:58,166
No, thanks.
161
00:20:59,208 --> 00:21:01,000
Sir, we also have an offer on right now,
162
00:21:01,083 --> 00:21:04,125
a 12-CD pack
of All India Radio recordings.
163
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:08,416
The regular price is 1,500 rupees.
With our discount, it's only 1,000.
164
00:21:09,875 --> 00:21:11,833
No, thank you.
165
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:17,583
Do you have any devotional music?
166
00:21:18,166 --> 00:21:19,166
We don't, right?
167
00:21:19,916 --> 00:21:21,666
No, only classical music.
168
00:21:22,875 --> 00:21:24,791
I'll come back during the interval.
169
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,416
Everyone wants devotional stuff.
170
00:21:36,458 --> 00:21:37,916
Should we go in and listen?
171
00:21:38,541 --> 00:21:39,666
Are you nuts?
172
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:41,875
Your ears will start bleeding.
173
00:22:03,291 --> 00:22:04,958
It's fucking nonsense!
174
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:10,500
How low can you stoop
for this hoity-toity crowd?
175
00:22:12,208 --> 00:22:14,291
What the heck was he playing today?
176
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:16,125
And the audience was clapping away.
177
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:20,083
All these "annual membership" types…
178
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:22,375
They'll applaud
for anyone playing anything.
179
00:22:25,083 --> 00:22:27,958
And even the artistes
have no musical standpoint.
180
00:22:28,875 --> 00:22:30,583
It's like an assorted buffet…
181
00:22:31,208 --> 00:22:34,833
A serious Raag for 20 minutes, a light one
for 15, a love song, a devotional one.
182
00:22:34,916 --> 00:22:35,833
Done.
183
00:22:36,875 --> 00:22:38,958
But the sponsors love it.
184
00:22:39,916 --> 00:22:41,208
Screw the sponsors.
185
00:22:41,916 --> 00:22:44,083
They push the same
four, five famous names.
186
00:22:44,166 --> 00:22:47,083
All the shows go to them
and everything sounds the same.
187
00:22:48,083 --> 00:22:52,250
No matter what the Raag,
it's the same structure, same gimmicks.
188
00:22:52,333 --> 00:22:53,750
All predictable.
189
00:22:55,250 --> 00:22:56,333
Rice, please.
190
00:22:58,458 --> 00:22:59,833
But I don't get it.
191
00:22:59,916 --> 00:23:02,791
Shakir Bhai used to play so beautifully.
192
00:23:04,041 --> 00:23:06,333
I've heard his recordings from the '80s.
193
00:23:07,958 --> 00:23:10,791
So much poise, such clarity of notes.
194
00:23:11,875 --> 00:23:13,541
How can someone change so much?
195
00:23:14,333 --> 00:23:15,750
For money, what else?
196
00:23:17,291 --> 00:23:18,958
That's why Guruji, Maai,
197
00:23:19,041 --> 00:23:21,250
never got into
this concert circuit racket.
198
00:24:37,875 --> 00:24:38,750
What?
199
00:24:41,041 --> 00:24:42,041
What's wrong?
200
00:24:42,583 --> 00:24:43,708
I don't know.
201
00:24:46,583 --> 00:24:47,833
What do you mean?
202
00:24:48,833 --> 00:24:50,750
I couldn't come up with new phrases.
203
00:24:51,541 --> 00:24:53,083
It was repetitive, wasn't it?
204
00:24:54,583 --> 00:24:56,208
Why is it repetitive?
205
00:24:58,041 --> 00:24:59,083
I don't know.
206
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:02,750
You practiced, right?
207
00:25:03,958 --> 00:25:04,875
Yes.
208
00:25:05,666 --> 00:25:07,333
Then why are you stuck?
209
00:25:10,833 --> 00:25:12,125
Try again.
210
00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:35,583
I'm just repeating myself.
211
00:25:37,083 --> 00:25:37,958
You sing.
212
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:16,375
Good.
213
00:29:02,625 --> 00:29:03,750
Well done.
214
00:29:07,291 --> 00:29:08,125
Listen.
215
00:29:08,666 --> 00:29:10,500
Just let him go, please.
216
00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:12,375
His friends have been calling him.
217
00:29:13,041 --> 00:29:14,333
Do you want to go?
218
00:29:14,416 --> 00:29:15,625
Yes, of course.
219
00:29:16,208 --> 00:29:19,375
Obviously. Even on a Sunday
you're forcing him to learn music.
220
00:29:19,458 --> 00:29:20,625
What else?
221
00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:22,625
What's wrong with that?
222
00:29:23,375 --> 00:29:26,708
Ustad Saheb would even
beat his children till they got it right.
223
00:29:26,791 --> 00:29:30,458
-We've heard this story a hundred times.
-But it's true.
224
00:29:31,166 --> 00:29:33,625
He'd tie their hair to a nail on the wall.
225
00:29:33,708 --> 00:29:36,083
We're just enjoying ourselves, right?
226
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:40,208
I'll teach you a traditional composition
in the same Raag. Hold the note.
227
00:29:41,416 --> 00:29:43,166
Very good.
228
00:29:56,958 --> 00:29:58,083
Shaardya.
229
00:29:58,708 --> 00:30:00,541
Come on. Everyone's waiting.
230
00:30:01,208 --> 00:30:03,041
Hey, come inside.
231
00:30:03,125 --> 00:30:03,958
No, I'm good.
232
00:30:04,041 --> 00:30:06,291
Come on now. Sit.
233
00:30:09,250 --> 00:30:12,208
I'm teaching him what we call a bandish.
234
00:30:13,458 --> 00:30:16,083
Uncle, I don't understand any of this.
235
00:30:16,166 --> 00:30:17,500
Can Shaardya come with me?
236
00:30:17,583 --> 00:30:20,458
A bandish is a very valuable composition.
237
00:30:21,583 --> 00:30:23,541
When two musicians got married,
238
00:30:23,625 --> 00:30:25,666
these compositions
were gifted as the dowry.
239
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:28,208
They used to be
as precious as life itself.
240
00:30:28,291 --> 00:30:29,750
Why are you torturing these kids?
241
00:30:29,833 --> 00:30:31,583
Just let them go and play.
242
00:30:32,875 --> 00:30:37,666
Go fly, fly away to your home
243
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:43,750
Go fly, fly away to your home…
244
00:30:44,625 --> 00:30:48,333
Five, four, three, two, one.
245
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:57,541
Welcome back to our show Gharana.
246
00:30:58,583 --> 00:31:00,083
Before the break,
247
00:31:00,166 --> 00:31:05,083
Mr. Mukund shed some light on
the history of the Alwar school of music.
248
00:31:05,166 --> 00:31:09,625
Mr. Mukund is not only
a singer trained in the Alwar style,
249
00:31:10,291 --> 00:31:14,875
he has also written a book
on the history of its music,
250
00:31:14,958 --> 00:31:17,541
entitled The Eternal Flame.
251
00:31:18,750 --> 00:31:21,375
Mr. Mukund, let me now
turn to another subject.
252
00:31:22,416 --> 00:31:27,625
In your book, you have written about
how this music has changed over time
253
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:31,666
and how it has
somehow lost its essence today.
254
00:31:32,625 --> 00:31:33,666
It is true.
255
00:31:34,666 --> 00:31:37,666
A lot of people
did not like me writing this.
256
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:40,625
I have even been criticized for it.
257
00:31:41,458 --> 00:31:46,208
But if people want to listen to
this music today, where can they find it?
258
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:48,958
They won't find it.
259
00:31:51,125 --> 00:31:56,208
It is almost impossible
to find that kind of music today,
260
00:31:57,458 --> 00:31:58,875
that divine purity.
261
00:31:59,791 --> 00:32:03,125
My guru,
Maestro Vinayak Pradhan, always tells me
262
00:32:03,208 --> 00:32:06,666
that if you wanted
to experience Ustad's music,
263
00:32:06,750 --> 00:32:11,083
there was only one person,
Maestra Sindhubai Jadhav.
264
00:32:11,833 --> 00:32:14,333
We lovingly refer to her as "Maai."
265
00:32:15,541 --> 00:32:18,458
Our guru says that his music
266
00:32:19,041 --> 00:32:21,625
does not even come close to her genius.
267
00:32:22,750 --> 00:32:24,458
Why was she so special?
268
00:32:26,583 --> 00:32:28,958
I've asked Guruji
this question many times.
269
00:32:29,916 --> 00:32:34,916
He says that it is impossible
to describe her music in words.
270
00:32:35,541 --> 00:32:38,250
-But aren't there any recordings?
-No.
271
00:32:39,375 --> 00:32:41,916
Maai never allowed
anyone to record her music.
272
00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:47,250
There's barely
a photo of her, let alone interviews.
273
00:32:48,041 --> 00:32:51,000
She was different. She was an ascetic.
274
00:32:54,708 --> 00:32:56,541
What a cutie you were as a kid.
275
00:32:56,625 --> 00:32:57,583
Very sweet.
276
00:32:58,625 --> 00:32:59,958
And what about now?
277
00:33:01,666 --> 00:33:03,416
Why didn't you show me this before?
278
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:08,041
I've heard so much about your father,
but this is the first time I've seen him.
279
00:33:08,125 --> 00:33:09,666
This was on VHS till now.
280
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:11,375
I just transferred it yesterday.
281
00:33:13,083 --> 00:33:15,208
I want to listen to your father singing.
282
00:33:16,458 --> 00:33:18,875
His stories were more interesting.
283
00:33:20,416 --> 00:33:21,791
His singing was okay.
284
00:33:26,375 --> 00:33:29,041
-Can I ask you something?
-Sure.
285
00:33:29,666 --> 00:33:33,583
Tejas told me that your father
had some old tapes of Maai.
286
00:33:34,208 --> 00:33:35,333
What tapes?
287
00:33:36,333 --> 00:33:39,791
Of lectures that she gave
her senior disciples in Belgaum.
288
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:41,958
But how can there be tapes?
289
00:33:42,541 --> 00:33:45,458
Apparently, Karim Saheb
recorded them secretly.
290
00:33:46,708 --> 00:33:49,083
Yes, Dad mentioned this once.
291
00:33:49,875 --> 00:33:52,041
But I've never seen any tapes like that.
292
00:33:55,208 --> 00:33:57,250
Never mind.
Have you shared this with your mom?
293
00:33:58,083 --> 00:33:59,833
You should. She'll be so happy.
294
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,125
You know how sentimental she is about Dad?
295
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,208
This will make it even worse.
296
00:34:18,875 --> 00:34:20,791
I'll leave now. It's late.
297
00:35:35,458 --> 00:35:38,541
Do not stop
the flow of thoughts in your mind.
298
00:35:39,958 --> 00:35:42,083
Just observe them.
299
00:35:44,541 --> 00:35:47,125
Let your repressed emotions
300
00:35:47,666 --> 00:35:49,291
come to the fore.
301
00:35:50,666 --> 00:35:52,708
Good, bad, all of them.
302
00:35:54,541 --> 00:35:58,708
They exist. Just observe them.
303
00:36:05,708 --> 00:36:09,583
Just like your mind,
your body is trying to converse with you.
304
00:36:13,375 --> 00:36:15,541
Try to listen to it.
305
00:36:37,916 --> 00:36:40,250
I wanted to tell you something.
306
00:36:41,291 --> 00:36:43,291
But I just can't remember it.
307
00:36:43,875 --> 00:36:46,291
If it's the electricity bill,
I'll pay it today.
308
00:36:46,375 --> 00:36:48,750
No, no. Not the bill.
309
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:50,083
It was something else.
310
00:36:51,083 --> 00:36:52,583
Was it about your medicines?
311
00:36:53,416 --> 00:36:55,208
No, not the medicines either.
312
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,958
Forget it. I can't remember.
313
00:36:59,625 --> 00:37:01,083
Did you speak to your mother?
314
00:37:02,166 --> 00:37:03,791
I spoke to her just yesterday.
315
00:37:03,875 --> 00:37:04,875
What did she say?
316
00:37:06,333 --> 00:37:07,875
That everything is fine.
317
00:37:09,833 --> 00:37:12,041
I just don't understand her.
318
00:37:12,125 --> 00:37:14,833
She says one thing to you,
another thing to me,
319
00:37:14,916 --> 00:37:17,750
and has something
totally different on her mind.
320
00:37:17,833 --> 00:37:19,500
What's happened now?
321
00:37:19,583 --> 00:37:21,625
She was crying on the phone yesterday.
322
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:25,375
She said I should have a talk with you.
323
00:37:26,041 --> 00:37:27,208
About what?
324
00:37:27,291 --> 00:37:28,583
About getting a job.
325
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:32,166
But I'm working with Kishore now.
326
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:34,250
I told her the same thing.
327
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:36,375
But she said, "That's not a real job."
328
00:37:36,458 --> 00:37:40,500
"Kishore pays him peanuts," and so on.
329
00:37:41,666 --> 00:37:43,625
Did she say this, or are you saying it?
330
00:37:44,458 --> 00:37:45,875
Why would I say it?
331
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,208
How does she know how much I earn?
332
00:37:49,708 --> 00:37:51,083
I haven't told her.
333
00:37:51,791 --> 00:37:55,291
But she knows
that we're always short of money.
334
00:37:55,375 --> 00:37:58,083
The rent on that house, Viju's fees…
335
00:37:58,666 --> 00:38:01,000
How much can she take care of alone?
336
00:38:01,833 --> 00:38:05,083
Don't hide behind Mum, okay?
337
00:38:05,708 --> 00:38:08,708
If you can't afford
me living here, just say so.
338
00:38:08,791 --> 00:38:09,958
I'll leave right away.
339
00:38:10,041 --> 00:38:12,666
Why are you talking like this?
340
00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:15,000
We're only concerned for your future.
341
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:19,250
Look, Ajji, I can either
pursue my music, or I can have a job.
342
00:38:19,333 --> 00:38:21,041
I can't do both.
343
00:38:21,541 --> 00:38:22,958
Why can't you?
344
00:38:23,625 --> 00:38:26,583
Don't all your friends have jobs?
345
00:38:26,666 --> 00:38:29,333
Doesn't Tejas work? Doesn't Sneha work?
346
00:38:30,041 --> 00:38:31,625
But I don't want to.
347
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:34,416
I'll leave the house if you want.
348
00:38:35,458 --> 00:38:37,166
That's no way to behave.
349
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:39,333
You're as stubborn as your father.
350
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,666
And how he suffered later on.
351
00:38:44,625 --> 00:38:46,666
Don't compare me with Dad.
352
00:38:47,375 --> 00:38:50,458
If I don't make it,
I won't go around blaming the whole world.
353
00:38:53,666 --> 00:38:56,541
I don't know what to say to this boy.
354
00:39:05,875 --> 00:39:07,583
Guruji, should we start?
355
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:13,666
Okay, we are ready to begin.
356
00:39:14,916 --> 00:39:18,250
I know many of you are here
because of the article I wrote last week.
357
00:39:18,833 --> 00:39:23,458
And I really wasn't exaggerating when I
said that this man is an unsung genius.
358
00:39:23,541 --> 00:39:25,000
A hidden gem of Mumbai.
359
00:39:25,791 --> 00:39:29,458
Guruji, I thank you
on behalf of all of us here tonight
360
00:39:29,541 --> 00:39:31,333
for agreeing to perform for us.
361
00:39:32,291 --> 00:39:36,291
I think I'm gonna stop talking now
and let Guruji create his magic.
362
00:39:41,083 --> 00:39:44,041
Whatever Reena just said in English…
363
00:39:44,791 --> 00:39:46,791
I didn't understand most of it.
364
00:39:48,541 --> 00:39:52,000
But I will attempt to sing
something decent for you all.
365
00:41:59,041 --> 00:42:00,916
No, you are not listening.
366
00:42:20,708 --> 00:42:22,375
Sing with an open throat.
367
00:43:36,375 --> 00:43:37,291
Get up.
368
00:43:40,625 --> 00:43:42,916
His blood pressure is low, that's all.
369
00:43:43,875 --> 00:43:44,916
How low?
370
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:48,375
It's at 60. Last time it was 80.
371
00:43:48,458 --> 00:43:49,333
Oh, God.
372
00:43:50,166 --> 00:43:51,958
Any other complaints?
373
00:43:52,625 --> 00:43:55,333
My back hurts a lot,
here on the lower side.
374
00:43:57,083 --> 00:44:00,000
And urine, stools? All normal?
375
00:44:00,666 --> 00:44:04,791
Yes, that's all fine. Just this backache.
376
00:44:05,708 --> 00:44:07,916
And what about the coughing?
377
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:08,958
Oh, yes.
378
00:44:10,416 --> 00:44:14,583
Sometimes, at night,
I start coughing a lot.
379
00:44:15,791 --> 00:44:18,458
Once it starts, it just doesn't stop.
380
00:44:19,416 --> 00:44:22,208
Do you feel cold then? Or feverish?
381
00:44:22,958 --> 00:44:24,791
No, just the cough.
382
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:29,416
Okay.
383
00:44:30,250 --> 00:44:32,500
Take this medication
384
00:44:32,583 --> 00:44:35,166
and drop by next month.
385
00:44:35,250 --> 00:44:36,125
Yes.
386
00:44:36,208 --> 00:44:38,666
I've prescribed
a painkiller for your back.
387
00:44:39,333 --> 00:44:42,333
Only take it
if the pain is severe, otherwise avoid it.
388
00:44:43,250 --> 00:44:46,166
And keep drinking plenty of water.
389
00:44:47,458 --> 00:44:49,833
-Do you exercise?
-No.
390
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:55,208
Then take him for a walk,
at least two to three times a week.
391
00:44:55,291 --> 00:44:56,875
Yes, Doctor.
392
00:45:01,166 --> 00:45:02,333
How much do I owe you?
393
00:45:03,541 --> 00:45:06,833
Including the last visit, 450 rupees.
394
00:45:08,250 --> 00:45:10,875
Is it okay if I pay you next week?
395
00:45:10,958 --> 00:45:13,500
-That's fine.
-No. I have it.
396
00:45:13,583 --> 00:45:16,791
-You can give it to me later, it's okay.
-It's no problem.
397
00:45:28,333 --> 00:45:30,375
What's wrong?
398
00:45:31,416 --> 00:45:32,375
Nothing.
399
00:45:33,291 --> 00:45:34,416
Are you upset?
400
00:45:35,250 --> 00:45:38,791
No. You just take care of your health.
401
00:45:39,875 --> 00:45:41,708
That's not what I'm talking about.
402
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:44,333
I'm talking about the other night.
403
00:45:45,291 --> 00:45:46,291
What about it?
404
00:45:48,041 --> 00:45:49,375
Were you upset?
405
00:45:50,583 --> 00:45:53,416
No, I was angry with myself, that's all.
406
00:45:54,833 --> 00:45:56,416
What's there to be angry about?
407
00:45:56,916 --> 00:46:00,541
Your voice was not at its best, so what?
408
00:46:04,708 --> 00:46:07,583
-Did someone say something to you?
-No.
409
00:46:11,083 --> 00:46:12,916
Why are you so restless?
410
00:46:14,625 --> 00:46:16,166
Where are you rushing to?
411
00:46:20,041 --> 00:46:23,166
This is the age to practice
and that's what you should do.
412
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,166
I do nothing but practice,
413
00:46:29,041 --> 00:46:30,625
and yet this keeps happening.
414
00:46:31,916 --> 00:46:33,458
Then I get angry with myself.
415
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,291
Really? You're getting angry already?
416
00:46:41,166 --> 00:46:42,750
How old are you?
417
00:46:42,833 --> 00:46:43,750
Twenty-four.
418
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,458
Till the age of 40, we never
thought about anything but practice.
419
00:46:50,708 --> 00:46:53,583
We could not
utter a single word in front of Maai.
420
00:46:54,291 --> 00:46:57,166
We just kept our heads down and sang.
421
00:46:58,875 --> 00:47:01,125
And you want everything in a hurry?
422
00:47:01,916 --> 00:47:02,750
No.
423
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:10,333
Did Kishore tell you
about the Teachers' Day concert?
424
00:47:10,416 --> 00:47:13,291
Yes. Tejas and Sneha
are performing, right?
425
00:47:14,708 --> 00:47:16,291
And you are not?
426
00:47:17,291 --> 00:47:20,000
Kishore didn't say anything to me.
427
00:47:20,833 --> 00:47:24,083
-Of course you'll be singing too.
-Okay.
428
00:47:24,916 --> 00:47:27,500
-Start preparing.
-Yes.
429
00:48:41,208 --> 00:48:43,250
Damn, it's really cold.
430
00:48:44,291 --> 00:48:46,458
We'll be shivering in the morning.
431
00:48:47,833 --> 00:48:50,375
This is the perfect weather
432
00:48:50,458 --> 00:48:53,833
for those hot potato patties
and some tea at Ramdas.
433
00:48:54,666 --> 00:48:58,208
Actually, he is traveling all the way
just for those Ramdas patties.
434
00:48:59,083 --> 00:49:01,916
He's not interested in the concert at all.
435
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,041
Yes, of course.
436
00:49:03,541 --> 00:49:05,458
I've heard the Maestro umpteen times.
437
00:49:06,208 --> 00:49:08,166
The real joy is in the patties.
438
00:49:08,250 --> 00:49:11,666
The rice flakes there
are excellent too, with fried peanuts.
439
00:49:12,375 --> 00:49:13,500
So I'm the fool.
440
00:49:14,291 --> 00:49:17,041
I thought we were traveling
in the middle of the night
441
00:49:17,125 --> 00:49:18,833
to listen to the Maestro,
442
00:49:18,916 --> 00:49:20,541
but you guys are on a food trip.
443
00:49:21,458 --> 00:49:24,875
Look, with the Maestro it's 50-50.
444
00:49:25,458 --> 00:49:27,750
When he's good, he is very good.
445
00:49:27,833 --> 00:49:30,250
When he's bad, it's really unbearable.
446
00:49:31,083 --> 00:49:34,083
It's 50-50 because he is a genius.
447
00:49:35,291 --> 00:49:38,458
Every performance he tries
something new, always experimenting.
448
00:49:39,291 --> 00:49:41,625
When it works, you hit the jackpot.
449
00:49:41,708 --> 00:49:44,916
Yes, but that's why you have to
go and listen to him ten times.
450
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,291
And only four
of those times would be worth it.
451
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,458
I have a feeling
he's going to play well today.
452
00:49:51,541 --> 00:49:54,000
It's beautiful there,
in the midst of nature.
453
00:49:54,750 --> 00:49:56,750
Nature has nothing to do with it.
454
00:49:56,833 --> 00:49:58,333
He needs his rum.
455
00:49:58,958 --> 00:50:00,916
If that has
been arranged, he'll play well.
456
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,333
Come on. Rum at sunrise?
457
00:50:03,416 --> 00:50:07,458
It doesn't matter
whether it's day or night,
458
00:50:07,541 --> 00:50:09,583
once he's chugged two pegs,
459
00:50:10,291 --> 00:50:12,041
his hands start to play.
460
00:50:12,916 --> 00:50:15,333
Papa, what Raag will he play today?
461
00:50:15,416 --> 00:50:16,833
You're still awake?
462
00:50:17,666 --> 00:50:19,208
Go back to sleep.
463
00:50:19,291 --> 00:50:21,750
Otherwise you'll be
dozing off during the concert.
464
00:50:23,291 --> 00:50:25,625
You tell me, which are the morning Raags?
465
00:50:26,833 --> 00:50:29,291
-Todi…
-And?
466
00:50:30,833 --> 00:50:33,125
-Bhairav…
-And?
467
00:50:36,791 --> 00:50:39,833
If you can name two more Raags,
468
00:50:39,916 --> 00:50:42,250
I will give you chocolates in the morning.
469
00:50:43,583 --> 00:50:44,833
Lalit?
470
00:50:44,916 --> 00:50:46,958
Good! One more.
471
00:50:48,416 --> 00:50:51,250
-Marwa?
-Marwa is a morning Raag?
472
00:50:51,333 --> 00:50:52,333
No.
473
00:50:53,791 --> 00:50:55,125
I don't know any more.
474
00:50:55,958 --> 00:50:58,500
You mentioned Bhairav. A similar one?
475
00:50:58,583 --> 00:50:59,416
Ahir Bhairav.
476
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:00,333
Correct.
477
00:51:01,375 --> 00:51:03,791
Don't forget to get that chocolate.
478
00:51:04,458 --> 00:51:05,375
Now go to sleep.
479
00:51:05,458 --> 00:51:06,583
But you woke me up.
480
00:51:06,666 --> 00:51:08,708
Okay, okay. Now sleep.
481
00:51:11,875 --> 00:51:15,083
There's another story
about the Maestro and Lalit.
482
00:51:15,166 --> 00:51:18,166
Shubho from Kolkata told me.
483
00:51:18,833 --> 00:51:22,666
Once, he had
a 5:00 a.m. slot at Dover Lane.
484
00:51:22,750 --> 00:51:26,000
He announced that
he would be playing Lalit.
485
00:51:26,708 --> 00:51:29,000
Someone from the audience said,
486
00:51:29,083 --> 00:51:32,291
"You played it just last week in Delhi."
487
00:51:33,250 --> 00:51:34,708
"Play something else."
488
00:51:35,583 --> 00:51:37,250
He replied,
489
00:51:37,333 --> 00:51:41,416
"Not just last week, I have been playing
only Lalit for the last two months."
490
00:51:42,083 --> 00:51:43,875
"That Raag is upset with me."
491
00:51:44,625 --> 00:51:46,916
"I've been trying
very hard to woo it back."
492
00:51:47,916 --> 00:51:51,791
They say he played
such a magnificent Lalit that day,
493
00:51:52,375 --> 00:51:56,750
the entire crowd was mesmerized.
494
00:51:58,208 --> 00:51:59,291
Wow.
495
00:52:00,041 --> 00:52:01,416
He's a mad fucker.
496
00:53:13,458 --> 00:53:15,416
What's going on? Are you okay?
497
00:53:16,041 --> 00:53:17,166
I'm fine.
498
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,208
Here, drink some warm water.
499
00:53:25,541 --> 00:53:27,750
-You wait outside, I'll come.
-Okay.
500
00:54:01,083 --> 00:54:02,708
Here, have a cough drop.
501
00:54:02,791 --> 00:54:03,833
No, I don't want it.
502
00:54:04,583 --> 00:54:06,125
You're not wearing your kurta?
503
00:54:06,208 --> 00:54:07,791
I'll wear it there.
504
00:54:07,875 --> 00:54:10,416
-It'll get crumpled on the way.
-Let's go.
505
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:11,666
Give me your blessings.
506
00:54:11,750 --> 00:54:14,458
Why here? There's still time.
507
00:54:14,541 --> 00:54:16,333
I'll go by bike. You come later.
508
00:54:16,416 --> 00:54:17,583
But I'm ready to leave.
509
00:54:18,208 --> 00:54:19,750
I need some silence on the way.
510
00:54:19,833 --> 00:54:21,458
I won't utter a word.
511
00:54:22,541 --> 00:54:24,125
Please come on your own.
512
00:54:24,208 --> 00:54:25,416
And your kurta?
513
00:54:26,583 --> 00:54:27,416
Sorry.
514
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:29,500
-Should I carry it?
-No.
515
00:54:30,666 --> 00:54:32,666
Wait. I'll get some sweet yoghurt.
516
00:54:32,750 --> 00:54:35,000
Yoghurt before singing? Really?
517
00:54:35,083 --> 00:54:36,750
Then some sugar for good luck.
518
00:54:37,833 --> 00:54:39,291
I'll see you there.
519
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:59,083
If you want to learn my music,
520
00:54:59,750 --> 00:55:04,000
then forget about
the audience and other such notions.
521
00:55:05,625 --> 00:55:11,208
I do not sing
for the audience or for patrons.
522
00:55:12,833 --> 00:55:15,583
I have no interest in showing off
523
00:55:15,666 --> 00:55:17,958
how many complex Raags I have mastered
524
00:55:18,041 --> 00:55:21,916
or how much training I have.
525
00:55:23,541 --> 00:55:28,416
I sing only for my Guru
526
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,083
and for God.
527
00:55:33,625 --> 00:55:35,708
The other day someone asked me,
528
00:55:36,375 --> 00:55:40,583
"Maai, but shouldn't we choose the Raag
529
00:55:41,208 --> 00:55:44,375
depending on the audience present?"
530
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,583
I said, "There are 200 people in a room."
531
00:55:51,500 --> 00:55:54,458
"And 200 people have 200 minds."
532
00:55:55,208 --> 00:55:57,791
"How many people will you try to please?"
533
00:55:58,541 --> 00:56:01,125
"Are you a circus monkey?"
534
00:56:04,125 --> 00:56:07,250
We have plenty of posers around
535
00:56:07,333 --> 00:56:12,750
who perform all sorts of vocal acrobatics
in the name of classical music.
536
00:56:13,750 --> 00:56:20,500
Fortunately, that's not
the kind of training I got from my Guruji.
537
00:56:22,250 --> 00:56:24,083
He would always say,
538
00:56:24,958 --> 00:56:27,750
"Once you close your eyes
and utter the first note,
539
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:34,208
nothing other than the Raag
must be allowed to enter your mind."
540
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:40,458
"Then it does not matter,
even if you fail that day…
541
00:56:41,416 --> 00:56:46,333
because at least
you tried with sincerity."
542
00:56:54,750 --> 00:56:55,833
Greetings.
543
00:56:57,083 --> 00:57:01,625
I'd like to welcome you all
to this Teachers' Day celebration.
544
00:57:03,125 --> 00:57:05,000
It is an auspicious day
545
00:57:05,083 --> 00:57:09,083
to celebrate the age-old
master-disciple tradition.
546
00:57:10,875 --> 00:57:14,208
Maestro Vinayak Pradhan
of the Alwar lineage
547
00:57:14,291 --> 00:57:19,500
has trained several students
in music over the past 40 years.
548
00:57:20,625 --> 00:57:25,166
Today, five of his young students
549
00:57:25,250 --> 00:57:26,916
will present their music.
550
00:57:28,375 --> 00:57:32,291
The program begins with Sharad Nerulkar.
551
00:57:38,041 --> 00:57:40,958
He is accompanied
on the tabla by Amar Moghe.
552
00:57:44,166 --> 00:57:48,250
And on the harmonium is Tushar Modak.
553
00:57:52,166 --> 00:57:55,583
With Guruji's permission, let's begin.
554
01:01:07,625 --> 01:01:11,375
He who has faith
in Saraswati, the Goddess of Music,
555
01:01:12,208 --> 01:01:14,791
will surely be blessed by her.
556
01:01:16,666 --> 01:01:19,708
You don't just practice the music,
557
01:01:20,458 --> 01:01:25,708
but also endurance and perseverance.
558
01:01:27,083 --> 01:01:32,250
Because this journey is long and arduous.
559
01:01:33,541 --> 01:01:36,250
I have seen the best of them
560
01:01:36,333 --> 01:01:39,625
give up midway.
561
01:01:41,083 --> 01:01:45,166
There will be a thousand occasions
to succumb and accept defeat.
562
01:01:45,958 --> 01:01:48,833
But you must not.
563
01:01:50,875 --> 01:01:54,708
He who has control over his mind…
564
01:01:55,625 --> 01:02:02,125
can never be swayed from his path,
no matter what the circumstances.
565
01:02:58,750 --> 01:03:00,625
Don't look directly at the lens.
566
01:03:05,375 --> 01:03:08,291
Should we do a casual one?
567
01:03:08,375 --> 01:03:10,208
As if you're enjoying it?
568
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,541
Or do you only want a serious look?
569
01:03:13,166 --> 01:03:14,333
No, let's do it.
570
01:03:14,416 --> 01:03:17,041
Yeah, that way you'll have more options.
571
01:03:17,125 --> 01:03:18,750
Sure. What should I do?
572
01:03:19,375 --> 01:03:20,625
Turn this way a little.
573
01:03:22,333 --> 01:03:24,750
No, not that much. A little less. Yes.
574
01:03:24,833 --> 01:03:25,916
Perfect.
575
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,500
Look here and smile.
576
01:03:35,583 --> 01:03:39,041
No, no, not just a smile, smile and sing.
577
01:03:39,125 --> 01:03:41,250
As if you're enjoying singing.
578
01:03:58,583 --> 01:04:02,166
Good! It's nicely done. Who made it?
579
01:04:02,750 --> 01:04:04,416
A friend of mine.
580
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,958
Send me his number.
581
01:04:08,041 --> 01:04:09,875
We want to make a website too.
582
01:04:09,958 --> 01:04:11,750
Actually we have one,
583
01:04:11,833 --> 01:04:14,166
but no one has updated it for two years.
584
01:04:14,250 --> 01:04:16,333
Sure, I'll give you his details.
585
01:04:18,791 --> 01:04:22,333
As I was passing by,
I thought I should drop in.
586
01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:26,500
I'm glad you did. Do come by sometimes.
587
01:04:26,583 --> 01:04:30,000
I wanted to invite you personally.
588
01:04:30,083 --> 01:04:31,875
Really? To what?
589
01:04:31,958 --> 01:04:35,916
-To my performance at Kalyan next Sunday.
-Nice!
590
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,708
I thought I should invite you.
591
01:04:39,875 --> 01:04:44,333
I'll come. Message me the details.
592
01:04:44,416 --> 01:04:46,291
I've got you an invite.
593
01:04:56,416 --> 01:04:58,208
I'd be happy if you came.
594
01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:06,500
We'll also organize a show with you.
595
01:05:06,583 --> 01:05:08,125
Oh, thank you.
596
01:05:09,250 --> 01:05:12,500
Nowadays, people
come to listen to newcomers.
597
01:05:12,583 --> 01:05:13,541
Yes.
598
01:05:15,625 --> 01:05:19,000
-We did a "Woman Power" show recently.
-I see.
599
01:05:19,083 --> 01:05:20,541
The turnout was good.
600
01:05:20,625 --> 01:05:23,708
I see. I couldn't attend that one.
601
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,291
Shahana and Gayatri performed.
602
01:05:28,375 --> 01:05:30,250
-I see.
-It went well.
603
01:05:35,333 --> 01:05:38,625
Now we're thinking of doing
a "Diwali Dawn" show.
604
01:05:39,458 --> 01:05:43,625
-We'll have you sing there.
-It would be my honor.
605
01:05:44,666 --> 01:05:47,250
You, Aditya, Shivani…
606
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,625
a show with
two or three of you young performers.
607
01:05:51,708 --> 01:05:53,000
Sure.
608
01:05:55,916 --> 01:05:59,333
It's hard to find sponsors these days.
609
01:06:00,833 --> 01:06:03,916
-For unknown names.
-Yes, that's true.
610
01:06:06,041 --> 01:06:08,833
-But I'll let you know.
-Okay.
611
01:06:09,583 --> 01:06:11,750
But do come for my program.
612
01:06:11,833 --> 01:06:12,916
I will.
613
01:07:14,958 --> 01:07:16,541
What is it? I'm in class.
614
01:07:18,708 --> 01:07:19,708
What happened?
615
01:07:22,250 --> 01:07:23,791
Is it bad?
616
01:07:56,583 --> 01:07:58,041
What's the matter?
617
01:07:58,125 --> 01:08:00,208
His joints are aching a lot.
618
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:01,916
I see.
619
01:08:03,166 --> 01:08:04,166
Guruji?
620
01:08:12,083 --> 01:08:13,416
Are you feeling feverish?
621
01:08:13,500 --> 01:08:15,125
No, there's no fever.
622
01:08:15,708 --> 01:08:16,833
Okay.
623
01:08:16,916 --> 01:08:18,458
Did you give him any medicine?
624
01:08:18,541 --> 01:08:20,250
Yes, a painkiller.
625
01:08:21,208 --> 01:08:22,833
How will just a painkiller help?
626
01:08:23,375 --> 01:08:25,958
-Did you massage his legs?
-No.
627
01:08:26,625 --> 01:08:28,791
Then what did you do all this time?
628
01:08:28,875 --> 01:08:30,041
Just sit around?
629
01:08:30,791 --> 01:08:32,000
Sorry, dada.
630
01:08:33,500 --> 01:08:35,083
Leave now, both of you.
631
01:08:35,958 --> 01:08:37,166
No, we can wait.
632
01:08:37,250 --> 01:08:39,500
In case you need us to get something.
633
01:08:39,583 --> 01:08:41,791
No, it's okay. You can go.
634
01:08:54,541 --> 01:08:58,291
-Guruji, would you like to lie down?
-Yes.
635
01:09:14,125 --> 01:09:15,375
Is it aching a lot?
636
01:09:16,291 --> 01:09:17,541
Let's go to the doctor.
637
01:09:18,916 --> 01:09:20,291
That useless doctor…
638
01:09:21,125 --> 01:09:24,208
just keeps prescribing
medicines and charges so much.
639
01:09:25,166 --> 01:09:26,458
That's not true at all.
640
01:09:27,083 --> 01:09:29,166
In fact, he always takes less from us.
641
01:09:30,625 --> 01:09:33,916
Last month, he prescribed
medicines worth 1,000 rupees.
642
01:09:35,083 --> 01:09:37,791
I had to borrow money from Mukund.
643
01:09:39,250 --> 01:09:40,583
I'll pay him back.
644
01:09:42,541 --> 01:09:44,416
And please don't borrow from him.
645
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:46,000
Ask me for it.
646
01:09:47,208 --> 01:09:48,333
He's very sly.
647
01:09:48,916 --> 01:09:51,791
Whenever he lends you money, he calls me
648
01:09:51,875 --> 01:09:54,333
and asks if Guruji can perform.
649
01:09:55,083 --> 01:09:57,166
So what did you reply?
650
01:09:57,833 --> 01:09:59,208
What can I say?
651
01:09:59,291 --> 01:10:02,875
I tell him you're not up to it
these days and to not accept the shows.
652
01:10:04,416 --> 01:10:05,750
I would have done it.
653
01:10:07,375 --> 01:10:08,625
There's no need.
654
01:10:10,375 --> 01:10:12,166
You suffer so much afterwards.
655
01:10:15,208 --> 01:10:18,583
{\an8}Now we've had another instance
just yesterday in Jharkhand.
656
01:10:18,666 --> 01:10:21,833
{\an8}Two people killed allegedly
because they were cattle thieves.
657
01:10:21,916 --> 01:10:23,833
{\an8}Do you see a pattern emerging
658
01:10:23,916 --> 01:10:27,708
{\an8}in the manner in which these deaths
or lynchings are being carried out?
659
01:10:27,791 --> 01:10:30,291
Or are they all very separate instances?
660
01:10:30,375 --> 01:10:33,291
Fame India
has reached the City of Joy: Kolkata!
661
01:10:33,375 --> 01:10:37,416
Thousands have turned up with hope
in their hearts and dreams in their eyes
662
01:10:37,500 --> 01:10:41,916
in pursuit of the Golden Ticket.
Let's see who has impressed our judges.
663
01:10:54,333 --> 01:10:56,791
Just when the judges had lost all hope…
664
01:10:57,375 --> 01:10:58,208
No.
665
01:10:58,291 --> 01:11:02,250
…in came a nervous, timid girl.
666
01:11:03,708 --> 01:11:05,708
-Hi.
-Hello.
667
01:11:05,791 --> 01:11:07,333
What's your name?
668
01:11:07,416 --> 01:11:10,458
I am Shaswati Bose and I'm from Jhargram.
669
01:11:10,541 --> 01:11:13,791
Okay. And what will you be singing for us?
670
01:11:13,875 --> 01:11:16,833
I would like to attempt
Ustad Abdul Rashid Khan's song
671
01:11:16,916 --> 01:11:19,291
"Aaye Aaye Sajana Mere."
672
01:11:19,916 --> 01:11:22,333
I wish you all the best! Please start.
673
01:12:01,041 --> 01:12:03,041
Okay. That's enough.
674
01:12:04,375 --> 01:12:07,708
Shaswati, what you just sang…
675
01:12:08,375 --> 01:12:09,333
What was that?
676
01:12:10,375 --> 01:12:12,291
Why, sir? Was it not good?
677
01:12:13,083 --> 01:12:15,083
No, it was not good.
678
01:12:15,791 --> 01:12:20,000
It was very good! It was fabulous!
679
01:12:20,083 --> 01:12:24,791
I agree. You have
a phenomenal voice. Phenomenal!
680
01:12:25,416 --> 01:12:29,125
We're going to see you
in Mumbai! Congratulations!
681
01:12:29,708 --> 01:12:30,916
Come here!
682
01:12:37,375 --> 01:12:39,458
-Thank you.
-See you in Mumbai.
683
01:12:49,083 --> 01:12:51,541
I'm so happy.
684
01:12:52,125 --> 01:12:54,916
Our dream of seeing her sing on this show
685
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,791
has come true today. I'm very happy.
686
01:13:10,875 --> 01:13:12,583
Increase the monitor volume.
687
01:13:29,166 --> 01:13:31,750
Give me more tanpuras in the monitor.
688
01:15:45,875 --> 01:15:48,750
DIWALI MORNING WITH RISING STARS.
689
01:16:53,458 --> 01:16:57,083
I definitely want to
keep my writing and commentary
690
01:16:57,166 --> 01:16:59,416
confined to music at this point in time.
691
01:16:59,500 --> 01:17:01,750
I think it is our inability to
692
01:17:02,625 --> 01:17:04,375
rationally view history
693
01:17:04,458 --> 01:17:06,541
and separate it from what we do.
694
01:17:06,625 --> 01:17:08,833
We always look for an explanation
695
01:17:08,916 --> 01:17:13,000
as to who we are and how we fit into
our contemporary cultural context.
696
01:18:49,666 --> 01:18:52,916
Do not get entangled in technicalities.
697
01:18:54,375 --> 01:18:59,125
You may practice
endlessly for years and years
698
01:18:59,708 --> 01:19:02,458
and gain complete mastery over technique,
699
01:19:02,541 --> 01:19:06,875
but it will not lead you to the Truth.
700
01:19:07,458 --> 01:19:12,875
Technique is merely a medium
to express your inner life.
701
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:15,916
Technique can be taught.
702
01:19:16,500 --> 01:19:19,250
Truth cannot.
703
01:19:19,791 --> 01:19:23,083
For that, you must have the strength
704
01:19:23,166 --> 01:19:26,833
to look inwards with unflinching honesty.
705
01:19:27,458 --> 01:19:30,666
This is extremely difficult.
706
01:19:30,750 --> 01:19:32,708
It is a lifelong quest.
707
01:19:32,791 --> 01:19:36,125
That is why we call it Asceticism.
708
01:19:36,208 --> 01:19:40,625
And eventually,
when you do encounter the Truth,
709
01:19:41,250 --> 01:19:43,625
it takes great courage to face it.
710
01:19:43,708 --> 01:19:47,958
Because the Truth is often ugly.
711
01:19:48,625 --> 01:19:52,708
Unless this awareness
seeps into your music…
712
01:21:14,166 --> 01:21:17,541
These phrases
could have been sung much better.
713
01:21:20,708 --> 01:21:24,208
Once an idea has been
fully expressed, don't stretch it further.
714
01:21:25,666 --> 01:21:29,000
Or else it sounds like
you're just filling up time.
715
01:21:31,958 --> 01:21:35,250
Those organizers
also ruined my mood before the show.
716
01:21:36,833 --> 01:21:39,875
No, it's not the organizers, Sharad.
717
01:21:41,041 --> 01:21:42,916
Your perspective is lacking.
718
01:21:45,666 --> 01:21:48,458
In some places,
you're embellishing it too much.
719
01:21:49,375 --> 01:21:51,750
At other points, it's too bland.
720
01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:55,041
It's all scattered.
721
01:21:58,875 --> 01:22:01,125
You start off with one musical idea,
722
01:22:02,833 --> 01:22:04,666
then you jump to something else,
723
01:22:05,833 --> 01:22:07,791
and then some third thought pops up.
724
01:22:09,916 --> 01:22:11,875
It's all jumbled up.
725
01:22:14,291 --> 01:22:16,125
The music has no life in it.
726
01:22:18,708 --> 01:22:20,791
It was the same problem last time.
727
01:22:24,250 --> 01:22:26,458
Put more thought into your efforts.
728
01:22:26,541 --> 01:22:27,916
It will work out gradually.
729
01:23:31,333 --> 01:23:34,250
How many years
are you going to waste like this?
730
01:23:36,125 --> 01:23:38,541
How much longer?
731
01:23:39,625 --> 01:23:43,583
Do you want to end up like your father?
732
01:23:45,666 --> 01:23:49,666
Your father was my most faithful
733
01:23:50,458 --> 01:23:53,375
but most incompetent student.
734
01:23:54,750 --> 01:23:57,041
Nobody told him
735
01:23:58,333 --> 01:24:02,125
that just by being
in the company of talented musicians,
736
01:24:02,833 --> 01:24:05,875
and by publishing books about them,
737
01:24:06,750 --> 01:24:09,125
you don't become talented yourself.
738
01:24:10,541 --> 01:24:11,750
Till the very end,
739
01:24:12,500 --> 01:24:14,958
he harbored many delusions.
740
01:24:16,208 --> 01:24:18,125
But you are different, aren't you?
741
01:24:18,916 --> 01:24:20,333
You understand better.
742
01:24:21,208 --> 01:24:23,875
Guruji can't tell you this to your face.
743
01:24:25,041 --> 01:24:27,000
He loves you.
744
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,041
He is dependent on you.
745
01:24:30,791 --> 01:24:31,875
But you…
746
01:25:10,958 --> 01:25:12,041
May I sit?
747
01:25:12,125 --> 01:25:13,125
Yes, please.
748
01:25:17,708 --> 01:25:18,791
Yes?
749
01:25:19,750 --> 01:25:22,583
Madam, I want to donate
these tapes to the center.
750
01:25:25,625 --> 01:25:27,041
Are they working?
751
01:25:27,125 --> 01:25:28,166
Yes, they are.
752
01:25:30,541 --> 01:25:32,416
-Who's on it?
-Maai.
753
01:25:33,166 --> 01:25:36,333
-Maai?
-Sorry, Maestra Sindhubai Jadhav.
754
01:25:51,916 --> 01:25:53,583
How do you spell Sindhubai?
755
01:25:54,916 --> 01:26:00,125
S-I-N-D-H-U-B-A-I.
756
01:26:04,583 --> 01:26:06,166
What did she sing?
757
01:26:06,250 --> 01:26:07,291
Classical music.
758
01:26:12,125 --> 01:26:14,208
Did she win any awards?
759
01:26:15,291 --> 01:26:18,000
Yes, Sangeet Natak Akademi, 1973.
760
01:26:29,250 --> 01:26:32,166
Her name is not on the list,
so the rate will be different.
761
01:26:32,791 --> 01:26:35,791
I don't want any money,
I just want to donate them.
762
01:26:36,583 --> 01:26:38,125
How many tapes are there?
763
01:26:38,208 --> 01:26:39,458
Around eight.
764
01:26:42,208 --> 01:26:44,791
But there is no singing on them.
765
01:26:44,875 --> 01:26:45,750
What then?
766
01:26:46,333 --> 01:26:50,166
It's her lectures
on music, delivered in 1972.
767
01:26:52,041 --> 01:26:54,083
Leave a sample here.
768
01:26:54,166 --> 01:26:57,250
I will have to ask if we can accept them.
769
01:26:58,333 --> 01:27:00,250
Madam, this is invaluable material.
770
01:27:00,333 --> 01:27:02,333
No one has ever had access to it.
771
01:27:02,416 --> 01:27:03,541
I see.
772
01:27:04,208 --> 01:27:05,916
Are you a collector?
773
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,958
No, someone gave these tapes to my father.
774
01:27:09,041 --> 01:27:09,875
Okay.
775
01:27:11,583 --> 01:27:13,666
I'll give you a form to fill in.
776
01:27:19,125 --> 01:27:21,333
You'll have to
come in again to label them.
777
01:27:21,416 --> 01:27:23,916
I've already labeled them perfectly.
778
01:27:24,791 --> 01:27:26,000
All right then.
779
01:27:32,625 --> 01:27:35,333
Madam, will they be sent to the library?
780
01:27:35,416 --> 01:27:36,958
Yes. On approval,
781
01:27:37,041 --> 01:27:40,125
they will be added to our
on-site library and digital archive.
782
01:27:46,416 --> 01:27:47,833
How many copies do you have?
783
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:51,166
This is the only one.
784
01:27:54,500 --> 01:27:56,291
Laxmitai, please take this away.
785
01:28:16,958 --> 01:28:20,166
Welcome back to The Fame India Season 2!
786
01:28:21,166 --> 01:28:26,666
Our next finalist from the top 12
is Shaswati Bose from Jhargram.
787
01:28:27,750 --> 01:28:32,416
She impressed the judges
and secured a ticket to Mumbai.
788
01:28:32,500 --> 01:28:34,791
Let's look at her journey so far.
789
01:28:36,708 --> 01:28:40,458
Music is my everything. It's my all.
790
01:28:41,083 --> 01:28:44,125
I sing when I'm sad and when I'm happy.
791
01:28:44,708 --> 01:28:48,333
I want to make a career
in music, and I want to excel.
792
01:28:48,416 --> 01:28:52,875
Ever since she was a child,
I've wanted her to learn to sing.
793
01:28:52,958 --> 01:28:57,166
I've always supported her,
and will keep on doing so.
794
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,791
Fame is a really big platform for me.
795
01:29:00,875 --> 01:29:03,958
I've been showered
with so much love. I feel blessed.
796
01:29:04,041 --> 01:29:08,541
I know this platform will help me
realize my parents' dreams.
797
01:29:08,625 --> 01:29:11,666
I never imagined
that all of this would happen.
798
01:30:26,583 --> 01:30:28,166
Let's have a five-minute break.
799
01:30:28,875 --> 01:30:30,000
Please come, Madam.
800
01:30:32,916 --> 01:30:34,333
Karan, get a chair.
801
01:30:35,583 --> 01:30:37,375
-How are you, sir?
-Good, you?
802
01:30:37,458 --> 01:30:38,333
Fine.
803
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:41,000
Sorry you had to wait.
804
01:30:41,083 --> 01:30:42,250
No problem.
805
01:30:43,375 --> 01:30:46,583
-Will you have some tea or coffee?
-No, thank you.
806
01:30:46,666 --> 01:30:47,833
So, tell me…
807
01:30:48,625 --> 01:30:50,750
Did Karan tell you anything?
808
01:30:50,833 --> 01:30:53,833
He just said
that you would be coming to see me.
809
01:30:54,458 --> 01:30:57,416
Actually, sir,
he has an offer to join a band.
810
01:30:57,500 --> 01:31:00,958
But he will only
take it up if you say it's okay.
811
01:31:01,041 --> 01:31:03,041
So he wants your permission, sir.
812
01:31:03,125 --> 01:31:04,250
What band is this?
813
01:31:04,333 --> 01:31:05,458
What is it?
814
01:31:06,250 --> 01:31:07,666
A college band, sir.
815
01:31:07,750 --> 01:31:10,166
The seniors are forming a fusion band.
816
01:31:10,250 --> 01:31:12,958
They've asked me
to do the classical vocals.
817
01:31:13,041 --> 01:31:16,000
Okay. Is it for some album?
818
01:31:16,083 --> 01:31:18,833
No, sir. It's for college festivals
819
01:31:18,916 --> 01:31:21,958
like Malhar or Mood Indigo.
820
01:31:22,041 --> 01:31:25,541
Later there's
the University Youth Festival.
821
01:31:26,291 --> 01:31:27,125
I see.
822
01:31:27,833 --> 01:31:29,791
I told him he must do it.
823
01:31:29,875 --> 01:31:33,708
It will give him
stage experience and some exposure.
824
01:31:33,791 --> 01:31:36,583
But he says he will only do it
if he has your go-ahead.
825
01:31:38,583 --> 01:31:41,583
So is it mainly Western or classical too?
826
01:31:41,666 --> 01:31:43,000
It's a mix, sir.
827
01:31:43,083 --> 01:31:46,291
There's an English singer,
and I will do the classical part.
828
01:31:47,458 --> 01:31:48,333
I see.
829
01:31:49,916 --> 01:31:53,291
Let him go ahead, no problem.
830
01:31:54,708 --> 01:31:57,250
But then
he doesn't need to come back here.
831
01:31:58,416 --> 01:31:59,291
Why, sir?
832
01:31:59,791 --> 01:32:01,250
What will he do here?
833
01:32:01,333 --> 01:32:02,791
He'll waste his time.
834
01:32:04,250 --> 01:32:06,500
He sings well enough to be in a band.
835
01:32:07,250 --> 01:32:10,541
He gets his notes right,
he's had some training. That's enough.
836
01:32:11,666 --> 01:32:13,708
Sir, are you upset?
837
01:32:13,791 --> 01:32:18,000
No, I'm being frank. He can do fusion,
but he shouldn't come back to classical.
838
01:32:19,166 --> 01:32:21,875
He'd spoil
the school's name, and mine as well.
839
01:32:22,791 --> 01:32:24,333
Why are you saying this?
840
01:32:25,500 --> 01:32:28,916
Look, he is still
miles away from singing Khayal.
841
01:32:29,791 --> 01:32:32,625
If he gets into all of this,
he'll never get there.
842
01:32:33,416 --> 01:32:36,083
So why waste time and money?
That's all I'm saying.
843
01:32:36,750 --> 01:32:39,250
Sir, you're misunderstanding the issue.
844
01:32:39,333 --> 01:32:41,125
But you should also understand,
845
01:32:42,208 --> 01:32:44,833
if you want him to
run before he can walk, go ahead.
846
01:32:44,916 --> 01:32:46,166
Don't ask me.
847
01:32:51,833 --> 01:32:53,416
Karan, have I upset you?
848
01:32:54,416 --> 01:32:55,958
Sorry if I crossed the line, madam.
849
01:32:56,041 --> 01:32:57,416
Why are you getting nervous?
850
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:01,791
Is his father feeding us? We've paid him.
851
01:33:01,875 --> 01:33:03,458
He's not teaching you for free.
852
01:33:03,541 --> 01:33:04,916
Who is he to say no?
853
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,375
Let's complain about him to the principal.
854
01:33:07,458 --> 01:33:08,916
I'll fix him.
855
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,000
You will join the band
and learn music too.
856
01:33:11,083 --> 01:33:13,583
No need to get nervous. Understood?
857
01:33:13,666 --> 01:33:15,000
Now don't cry like a baby.
858
01:33:58,708 --> 01:34:01,333
Hello, Ma? Can you hear me?
859
01:34:03,208 --> 01:34:04,416
I can hear you.
860
01:34:05,666 --> 01:34:06,708
How are you?
861
01:34:09,541 --> 01:34:10,583
I'm okay.
862
01:34:12,708 --> 01:34:15,500
Sorry, I totally forgot.
863
01:34:18,208 --> 01:34:21,125
Yes, tell Viju
that I will take care of it.
864
01:34:21,916 --> 01:34:24,541
I will send it next month, don't worry.
865
01:34:27,291 --> 01:34:28,333
Yes.
866
01:34:31,916 --> 01:34:37,833
I was wondering if I should
come and stay there for a few days?
867
01:34:41,791 --> 01:34:42,708
Yes.
868
01:34:43,750 --> 01:34:45,250
I will try to come next month.
869
01:34:48,166 --> 01:34:49,083
Sure.
870
01:34:51,750 --> 01:34:55,500
No, please. If you're going
to bring that up, I won't come.
871
01:34:57,375 --> 01:34:59,041
Just four more years.
872
01:34:59,125 --> 01:35:00,541
As soon as I turn 40,
873
01:35:00,625 --> 01:35:02,583
we can start looking for a wife for me.
874
01:35:03,666 --> 01:35:05,875
Divorcees, widows, anyone will do.
875
01:35:07,416 --> 01:35:08,458
For real.
876
01:35:11,083 --> 01:35:11,958
What?
877
01:35:13,666 --> 01:35:15,000
The line is breaking up.
878
01:35:16,250 --> 01:35:17,250
Hello?
879
01:35:20,250 --> 01:35:22,291
Okay, bye now.
880
01:35:42,833 --> 01:35:44,416
Can I play one ball?
881
01:35:45,416 --> 01:35:46,375
Raja.
882
01:35:56,125 --> 01:35:57,583
Deliver a ball to him.
883
01:36:01,333 --> 01:36:02,458
Lovely ball!
884
01:36:40,083 --> 01:36:44,666
Today is
the 35th anniversary of Maai's death.
885
01:36:46,208 --> 01:36:49,875
And if I don't sing well today,
886
01:36:51,583 --> 01:36:54,541
I fear she will suddenly appear before me…
887
01:36:55,708 --> 01:36:59,666
and give me a good scolding
888
01:36:59,750 --> 01:37:02,916
right in front of all of you.
889
01:37:06,458 --> 01:37:09,083
I will try my best to sing.
890
01:37:10,583 --> 01:37:12,166
Allow me some time…
891
01:37:13,458 --> 01:37:15,541
for my throat to warm up.
892
01:37:17,333 --> 01:37:19,583
And then let's hope my voice cooperates.
893
01:38:56,416 --> 01:38:58,625
Yes, sir. We're sitting inside.
894
01:39:02,875 --> 01:39:04,416
I'm so sorry I'm late.
895
01:39:04,500 --> 01:39:06,000
Have you been waiting long?
896
01:39:06,083 --> 01:39:07,750
No problem at all.
897
01:39:07,833 --> 01:39:09,958
-Hello, I'm Rajan Joshi.
-Sharad.
898
01:39:11,250 --> 01:39:12,208
Please sit.
899
01:39:17,583 --> 01:39:20,125
What's this? Where's his glass?
900
01:39:20,208 --> 01:39:21,666
I don't drink.
901
01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:25,125
Come on, have one. I just look old.
902
01:39:25,875 --> 01:39:27,958
Please don't be shy.
903
01:39:28,041 --> 01:39:30,208
Actually, he's a singer, so that's why.
904
01:39:30,291 --> 01:39:32,666
-Nice! Classical?
-Yes.
905
01:39:32,750 --> 01:39:35,250
One whiskey and a little water.
906
01:39:36,500 --> 01:39:37,333
And for you?
907
01:39:37,416 --> 01:39:39,166
-Repeat?
-Repeat.
908
01:39:40,958 --> 01:39:43,208
-And for you?
-Really, I'm fine.
909
01:39:43,291 --> 01:39:46,166
Have something, maybe a soft drink?
910
01:39:46,250 --> 01:39:49,875
Okay, fresh lime
with plain water. Not cold.
911
01:39:52,791 --> 01:39:54,916
-You're a Mumbai guy?
-Yes.
912
01:39:56,375 --> 01:39:58,666
He's a big fan of your work.
913
01:39:58,750 --> 01:40:02,125
He's read all your reviews in Sancharika.
914
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,708
That's why all the musicians
in Mumbai hated my guts.
915
01:40:08,291 --> 01:40:10,333
Because I would bash them all.
916
01:40:11,250 --> 01:40:14,000
I really love your writing.
917
01:40:14,083 --> 01:40:15,083
Thank you.
918
01:40:15,166 --> 01:40:19,791
Even from America, you have done so much
research on the history of our music.
919
01:40:19,875 --> 01:40:21,000
It's really inspiring.
920
01:40:21,083 --> 01:40:22,666
-Great.
-Thank you.
921
01:40:23,375 --> 01:40:26,083
It's good to hear
that the younger generation
922
01:40:26,166 --> 01:40:28,666
is still interested in these things.
923
01:40:28,750 --> 01:40:32,208
It's easy now
because of the websites and the Internet.
924
01:40:32,291 --> 01:40:34,416
It reaches everyone instantly.
925
01:40:35,708 --> 01:40:38,833
To be honest, I have so much material
926
01:40:39,500 --> 01:40:43,833
that I can easily keep writing
for the next ten years.
927
01:40:44,416 --> 01:40:48,125
-Wow.
-And this is just my Park City stuff.
928
01:40:48,208 --> 01:40:50,625
My Mumbai collection is another story.
929
01:40:53,458 --> 01:40:55,541
Ask Kishore what they used to call me.
930
01:40:56,833 --> 01:41:00,083
-They used to call him "music thief."
-What?
931
01:41:00,166 --> 01:41:05,458
He would get hold of the rarest
recordings and books from God knows where.
932
01:41:06,250 --> 01:41:12,291
Faiyaz Khan, Imrat Hussain, Kesarbai.
You name it, he would have it.
933
01:41:12,375 --> 01:41:13,500
Wow.
934
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:19,250
Actually, that's why
I didn't invite you to my home.
935
01:41:20,041 --> 01:41:24,791
So many people have stolen things
from my house, I have lost count.
936
01:41:25,583 --> 01:41:26,666
Meaning?
937
01:41:27,708 --> 01:41:32,958
If I went to the kitchen to get something,
people would simply nick things.
938
01:41:33,583 --> 01:41:35,583
I'm talking about big, famous artistes.
939
01:41:35,666 --> 01:41:37,708
Jealous fuckers, all of them.
940
01:41:40,875 --> 01:41:43,833
Now look at Kishore.
He's been chasing me for so many years.
941
01:41:44,666 --> 01:41:46,166
But in an honest way.
942
01:41:46,875 --> 01:41:48,458
I mean, he wants it for free.
943
01:41:49,041 --> 01:41:51,166
People have offered me millions of rupees.
944
01:41:51,791 --> 01:41:56,458
I told them, "Even if you
buy me three houses in Colaba,
945
01:41:56,541 --> 01:41:59,125
there's some material
that I will never part with."
946
01:42:02,583 --> 01:42:05,541
Anyway, tell me what you want.
947
01:42:05,625 --> 01:42:08,291
As I said on the phone,
I want recordings--
948
01:42:08,375 --> 01:42:09,625
Of Shantidevi?
949
01:42:09,708 --> 01:42:13,125
Yes, sir. Very few people have heard her.
950
01:42:13,208 --> 01:42:15,000
I'd like to publish a CD.
951
01:42:15,083 --> 01:42:18,583
Okay. Let me see what I have.
952
01:42:18,666 --> 01:42:20,458
Thank you, sir. Thanks.
953
01:42:21,708 --> 01:42:24,166
Recently, someone approached Sharma
954
01:42:24,250 --> 01:42:27,416
from All India Radio
for Shantidevi's tapes.
955
01:42:27,500 --> 01:42:28,375
And?
956
01:42:28,458 --> 01:42:31,583
He said, "We don't keep music by whores."
957
01:42:32,833 --> 01:42:33,708
What?
958
01:42:34,583 --> 01:42:39,500
I mean, it's true that she was
a prostitute. Everybody knows it.
959
01:42:40,083 --> 01:42:42,416
-What are you saying?
-Yes.
960
01:42:43,291 --> 01:42:46,125
There are even photos of her in a bikini.
961
01:42:47,083 --> 01:42:51,500
I'm talking about the '40s,
before she became famous.
962
01:42:51,583 --> 01:42:54,250
She had posed for some magazine.
963
01:42:55,250 --> 01:42:56,666
You're joking, right?
964
01:42:58,291 --> 01:42:59,708
No, I'm not.
965
01:42:59,791 --> 01:43:03,125
Later, some Gujarati businessman
kept her as his mistress.
966
01:43:03,833 --> 01:43:06,875
He gave her money to learn music.
967
01:43:06,958 --> 01:43:10,041
That's why
she added "Devi" to her name later.
968
01:43:10,125 --> 01:43:12,541
To give herself an air of purity.
969
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,583
-You still want the recordings, right?
-Of course I want them, sir.
970
01:43:21,833 --> 01:43:24,875
-Do you have recordings of Maai?
-Maai?
971
01:43:25,750 --> 01:43:26,833
Sindhubai.
972
01:43:28,291 --> 01:43:29,833
I might have some.
973
01:43:30,500 --> 01:43:31,541
You do?
974
01:43:32,958 --> 01:43:35,041
But there are no recordings of her.
975
01:43:35,958 --> 01:43:38,333
That's because
she refused to perform in public.
976
01:43:38,833 --> 01:43:42,333
-No, it wasn't like that--
-Forget it, let it be.
977
01:43:42,416 --> 01:43:46,125
I won't say anything more,
you might be a devotee of hers.
978
01:43:46,208 --> 01:43:48,875
-No, he is an Alwar--
-Please, keep talking.
979
01:43:50,250 --> 01:43:51,125
Let it go.
980
01:43:51,666 --> 01:43:52,916
No, please continue.
981
01:43:55,958 --> 01:44:02,250
Look, I never believed this story
that she had no interest in performing.
982
01:44:02,750 --> 01:44:06,500
That she was completely lost
in trance-like practice, and all that.
983
01:44:07,125 --> 01:44:10,541
Is there any artist
who is not interested in performing?
984
01:44:11,458 --> 01:44:15,375
-But she was different.
-Yes, a little too "different."
985
01:44:17,750 --> 01:44:19,416
She was plain crazy.
986
01:44:19,500 --> 01:44:23,500
-Let's just talk about--
-Hold on. What are you trying to say?
987
01:44:25,625 --> 01:44:26,708
Let's drop it.
988
01:44:27,916 --> 01:44:29,875
Please, I want to hear this.
989
01:44:33,750 --> 01:44:37,125
I heard her sing in person,
sitting in her own house.
990
01:44:37,916 --> 01:44:39,000
You heard Maai?
991
01:44:39,541 --> 01:44:42,041
About 30 years ago, when I was your age.
992
01:44:42,666 --> 01:44:43,666
But how?
993
01:44:44,833 --> 01:44:45,875
Don't ask.
994
01:44:46,583 --> 01:44:48,666
I've pulled off many such things in life.
995
01:44:49,416 --> 01:44:50,958
She was an exceptional singer,
996
01:44:51,666 --> 01:44:54,583
but as a human being,
she was extremely offensive.
997
01:44:55,458 --> 01:44:57,666
The horrible stuff she used to say…
998
01:44:58,500 --> 01:45:01,625
"These Mughals came
and polluted our music."
999
01:45:01,708 --> 01:45:05,166
"I won't sing compositions
by Muslim people," and whatnot.
1000
01:45:05,916 --> 01:45:08,625
She even killed her own daughter's career.
1001
01:45:09,916 --> 01:45:12,625
But she mentored
so many acclaimed musicians.
1002
01:45:14,125 --> 01:45:15,375
Name one.
1003
01:45:16,208 --> 01:45:17,666
Satish Raichand?
1004
01:45:18,416 --> 01:45:21,041
He was well-known before he went to Maai.
1005
01:45:21,125 --> 01:45:22,750
He was trained by Khan Saheb.
1006
01:45:23,416 --> 01:45:24,541
Devendra Bhise?
1007
01:45:25,458 --> 01:45:28,083
I don't like him at all. Hugely overrated.
1008
01:45:28,166 --> 01:45:31,166
-Sharad, let it go.
-No, this is getting interesting.
1009
01:45:32,833 --> 01:45:34,250
Maestro Vinayak Pradhan?
1010
01:45:36,083 --> 01:45:37,500
He's also Maai's student.
1011
01:45:39,166 --> 01:45:41,500
-That guy from Dadar?
-Yes.
1012
01:45:44,708 --> 01:45:46,750
He's another fabricated story.
1013
01:45:47,458 --> 01:45:50,458
"He's not interested
in concerts, he's a teacher,
1014
01:45:50,541 --> 01:45:54,166
he's only committed to passing on
the Alwar legacy," and so on.
1015
01:45:54,250 --> 01:45:57,958
The truth is that he couldn't
handle the pressure of the stage.
1016
01:45:58,041 --> 01:46:00,666
Mr. Joshi, please. That's his guru.
1017
01:46:05,125 --> 01:46:06,125
I am sorry.
1018
01:46:06,208 --> 01:46:07,291
I had no idea.
1019
01:46:12,250 --> 01:46:15,208
-Let's wind it up now.
-Yes, please.
1020
01:46:21,208 --> 01:46:23,250
But you know what, Kishore?
1021
01:46:23,333 --> 01:46:27,875
These new kids must know
how to separate fact from fiction.
1022
01:46:27,958 --> 01:46:32,208
The era is gone when people
could inflate someone into a demigod.
1023
01:46:32,291 --> 01:46:34,958
That's why so many people
got exploited in this field.
1024
01:46:36,125 --> 01:46:38,291
Then carry on. Why are you holding back?
1025
01:46:40,125 --> 01:46:41,041
Look.
1026
01:46:42,625 --> 01:46:45,000
Fans love a good story.
1027
01:46:46,125 --> 01:46:49,625
Maai's students painted her
as this mythical creature.
1028
01:46:51,583 --> 01:46:55,083
"Maai sang even with zero blood pressure."
1029
01:46:55,166 --> 01:46:57,916
What the fuck is zero blood pressure?
1030
01:46:59,333 --> 01:47:03,208
"Maai knew
23 of Khan Saheb's secret Raags."
1031
01:47:03,291 --> 01:47:06,250
Now who counted if there were 22 or 23?
1032
01:47:07,125 --> 01:47:11,833
I recently heard that someone
secretly recorded some lectures of hers.
1033
01:47:12,458 --> 01:47:14,166
I haven't heard them yet,
1034
01:47:14,916 --> 01:47:16,166
but I'm pretty sure…
1035
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:21,208
it's the most pretentious, self-righteous,
elitist load of crock ever.
1036
01:48:02,791 --> 01:48:03,916
Come sit.
1037
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:11,750
-Will you have tea?
-Yes.
1038
01:48:14,916 --> 01:48:17,750
Guruji, please don't accept
faraway concerts anymore.
1039
01:48:18,875 --> 01:48:21,458
Yesterday's journey was so tiring for you.
1040
01:48:22,708 --> 01:48:24,166
What else can I do?
1041
01:48:24,833 --> 01:48:26,916
I have to take whatever comes my way.
1042
01:48:28,166 --> 01:48:30,458
Do I get a monthly pension?
1043
01:48:31,125 --> 01:48:34,708
Or do you have
millions of rupees to keep giving me?
1044
01:48:35,416 --> 01:48:37,166
Are you short of anything?
1045
01:48:38,833 --> 01:48:41,083
Why put yourself through this at your age?
1046
01:48:42,500 --> 01:48:44,166
On top of it all,
1047
01:48:44,791 --> 01:48:48,166
these bloody organizers
don't even pay on time.
1048
01:48:49,250 --> 01:48:51,666
Remember that
felicitation ceremony in Satara?
1049
01:48:52,291 --> 01:48:54,625
They haven't given me the honorarium yet.
1050
01:48:55,750 --> 01:48:58,416
They presented me
with this big, fake check.
1051
01:48:58,500 --> 01:49:00,458
They never sent the real one.
1052
01:49:01,916 --> 01:49:03,333
I'll talk to them.
1053
01:49:05,541 --> 01:49:08,000
Then the Gokhales did a house concert.
1054
01:49:08,750 --> 01:49:10,458
They didn't even mention money.
1055
01:49:11,625 --> 01:49:15,666
Just handed me
a cup of tea and some dry snacks.
1056
01:49:16,791 --> 01:49:21,083
Tell them to reimburse
our travel expenses at least.
1057
01:49:23,333 --> 01:49:25,166
They didn't give you your taxi fare?
1058
01:49:51,958 --> 01:49:53,166
Guruji?
1059
01:56:52,041 --> 01:56:53,250
Now catch that one.
1060
01:56:55,375 --> 01:56:56,791
Now this one.
1061
01:56:59,083 --> 01:57:00,833
Now those tall buildings.
1062
01:57:33,500 --> 01:57:34,708
Shall we start?
1063
01:57:34,791 --> 01:57:36,416
Yes. One moment, please.
1064
01:57:38,250 --> 01:57:41,083
Sir, tell us about Anhad Sounds.
1065
01:57:42,833 --> 01:57:45,541
Anhad Sounds
is a new company we've launched.
1066
01:57:46,250 --> 01:57:50,666
The company's mission is to promote
North Indian classical music.
1067
01:57:50,750 --> 01:57:54,041
To ensure that it reaches a wide audience.
1068
01:57:55,083 --> 01:57:58,541
Legacy of Alwar
is our first offering to music lovers.
1069
01:57:59,333 --> 01:58:03,750
This collection
features 300 rare compositions
1070
01:58:03,833 --> 01:58:07,041
belonging to the Alwar tradition.
1071
01:58:08,583 --> 01:58:12,250
We were worried
that Alwar's 200-year-old legacy
1072
01:58:12,333 --> 01:58:15,500
would get lost over time.
1073
01:58:16,083 --> 01:58:19,958
So I felt that
it was important to document this.
1074
01:58:21,250 --> 01:58:25,833
This project is the culmination
of nearly four years of research.
1075
01:58:26,958 --> 01:58:31,666
Maestros Vilas Bhat,
Manoharbhau Mane, Archana Bhave
1076
01:58:31,750 --> 01:58:35,125
and many other veterans
have contributed to this project.
1077
01:58:35,208 --> 01:58:38,500
Sir, how can listeners
access this collection?
1078
01:58:39,375 --> 01:58:43,375
The entire collection
is available on a USB stick.
1079
01:58:43,916 --> 01:58:47,708
It can be bought
on the Anhad Sounds website.
1080
01:58:47,791 --> 01:58:51,041
What other plans does your company have?
1081
01:58:52,208 --> 01:58:56,208
We will be releasing more collections,
1082
01:58:56,291 --> 01:58:58,500
which we are currently working on.
1083
01:58:58,583 --> 01:59:04,250
We also plan to publish books related
to music, offer online music classes…
1084
01:59:04,333 --> 01:59:08,041
We have lots of ideas.
Let's see how they shape up.
1085
01:59:08,125 --> 01:59:09,083
Okay.
1086
01:59:12,125 --> 01:59:15,166
-Done?
-Yes. Thank you, sir.
1087
01:59:15,250 --> 01:59:17,791
There's tea, coffee, and snacks,
1088
01:59:17,875 --> 01:59:19,125
please do help yourself.
1089
01:59:19,208 --> 01:59:20,708
Okay, thank you.
1090
02:00:03,666 --> 02:00:07,041
Oh, seeker!
1091
02:00:08,333 --> 02:00:12,791
At the edge of a well, oh, seeker
1092
02:00:14,583 --> 02:00:19,083
I sowed a tamarind seed
1093
02:00:20,333 --> 02:00:25,000
At the edge of a well, oh seeker
1094
02:00:26,416 --> 02:00:30,625
I sowed a tamarind seed
1095
02:00:31,958 --> 02:00:37,958
The tree sprouts fish
1096
02:00:38,041 --> 02:00:40,916
And casts a fine shade
1097
02:00:47,375 --> 02:00:52,500
At the edge of a well
1098
02:00:52,583 --> 02:00:54,666
Oh, seeker
1099
02:01:08,541 --> 02:01:13,541
At the edge of a well, oh, seeker
1100
02:01:16,916 --> 02:01:20,416
A deer was wed
1101
02:01:20,958 --> 02:01:25,541
At the edge of a well, oh, seeker
1102
02:01:27,166 --> 02:01:30,750
A deer was wed
1103
02:01:33,583 --> 02:01:37,791
She gave birth to five fawns
1104
02:01:45,250 --> 02:01:51,333
At the edge of a well, oh, seeker
