Sitaara

Sitaara
I wrote and composed this song in 1989. It is a song of hope symbolized by a bright star that breaks you free from despair and pulls you closer to infinite possibilities in life.

Around this time, I produced several songs. A friend and I wrote, composed, arranged and recorded these for a demo. It all happened in New Delhi. As an amateur musician, it was my first attempt at composing & song-writing.

Basically, used up all student savings to experiment at a basic 8-track studio. Somewhere down the line though, I got disillusioned by the commercial aspect of music, lost enthusiasm and a year later, moved to US.

I intend to revive my interests, refine these songs and compose new ones. But this time I have a different agenda. Since music is to create harmony, friendship and peace among living beings on our planet, I wish my music can inspire someone.

Reminiscing the woman from past..

Someone so much like her.. even simpler and more innocent.. had stolen my heart .. Have never met her ever since.. Wherever you're, I wish the best for you !!

Into the memory lane ...

I am petrified by this song .... tears flow ceaselessly.. Why the past seems so haunting and touching .. does anyone know the answer? We yearn for those moments gone by .. simply can't have them ...
Continuing in my quest... I guess only the depth in the present and the breadth of purpose can resolve this mystery... Nay, not to the mountains .. instead deep into the grand drama of daily and mundane life.

My favorite composer Madan Mohan & actor Sanjeev Kumar in this song are no more. They too have slipped into the abyss of the past ... But they re-live fully within the experiential moment of yours and mine... as we experience this song.

With gratitude ..
