Shenai

I momentarily passed a Kali puja pandal today and the fine and delicate sounds of the Shenai are still playing on my mind...the Shenai is my favourite Indian classical musical instrument...its sound is evocative and poignant, stirring one's bare, mortal soul...on hearing the notes, i am flooded with emotions, my sense-perceptions come alive and i begin to feel...the overall experience is emotionally overwhelming...music should be transcendental in its spirit, elevating us to the higher consciousness...like the snake charmer, the Shenai maestro raptures us in the ways of the universe...rising above mere existence and exaggerated moments of greatness to embrace the cosmic unity that binds humanity...
