Today I got to check out few Rajasthani Folk Songs. Although they were new to me but I thought I have heard these tunes sometime before.. Strange... isn't it? I really felt like I know these tunes and these are integral part of my being.
I recalled dancing on these tunes in my School Annual Day functions... Rajan Sir was our Dance Teacher. Like a flash of light, School days came into my sight... The Dance practice sessions, the discussions that followed. It was crazy!! I miss those carefree days now..
I recalled my daadi freaking out throughout our Home asking moms, chachis et al to do this and that.. asking kids not to keep their sane.. all sorts of preparations for Festivals in our Home. A festival was literally that - a moment, a day, an evening filled with celebrations. I miss those fun-filled days now..
I recalled myself, my brother and cousins running around throughout our Sweet Home... making lots of noise, dancing in the rains (yes literally). We would go on the Terrace whenever it rained and had a freakingly gala time. I miss those rainy days now..
It was indeed a beautiful feeling to have discovered this relationship I was having between Me and Rajasthani Songs...
If I would have started fancying these songs before my marriage then I would have defintely prepared my "Sangeet" on a Rajasthani theme.. Unfortunately, I am already married now.. :P

I love Falguni pathak songs... rightly called Dandia Queen
Its really kool !!!
Falguni Pathak has a sweet voice and there was a time when she created lots of albums related to a young girl's life and thinking.. However, she is not a Rajasthani Folk singer..
Thanks for visiting, shrinidhi! :)
