Year 2011 started on bad note with Panditji 's demise. This year had its more than normal share for losing stalwarts. Shammi, Pataudi , srinivas khale and now Gazal Maestro Jagjit singh just to count few.
Jagjit singh had special bond for me. I had met him at KGP during SF. Heard him live thrice. His gazals were the ones which i can sing reasonablly (as per comments by others maybe just as a consolation for my attempt). The voice the depth , the honesty in voice, stress upon lyrics, simplicity of music, all combined to make him legend. I was in state of shock for two days. His gazals are on in a loop till now.
Popular and not so popular yet beautiful ones.
Only evitability in life is death. another inevitable thing about this world is change. so his death will cause change in this world and that inevitable as well. Remembering a poem in marathi: Jan pal bhar mhantil haay haay. meaning people will mourn for two minues on our death and move on. Life always move on
Point is why will people remember you for. Then is publicity important that people will remember only if you are popular. There are many unsung heros who have led meaningful lives yet we dont regret a bit about their death. Is life unfair say for eg to a jawan or young officer on border who is killed due to dirty valley politics?
So is life only about recogintion from others ? or self belief and pleasure will make your life more meaningful. and i have not even touched money issue here. Money give you many pleasures thats sure. But is happiness only about money?
Huh many confusions. Idea is to stay happy, help others, do meaningful things important for you and others, live in today, stress for excellence. Life today as if there is no tomorrow. Make your mark today.. Kal ho no ho
