Dr. Virinder Kumar began his first session by introducing the students to the different parts of the Sitar and the role each part played in producing the sound of the instrument. This was followed by introducing the students to the names of the 6 different strings of Sitar and there corresponding notes (Baaj, Jori, Pancham-2, Vaddhi Chikari, Chotti Chikari). Dr. Kumar then showed how the instrument is to be held (pakar). He then showed how the instrument is to be plucked using the Mizraab (Da-Aakarsh and Ra-Apkarsh). The lesson ended by Dr. Kumar showing the students how to play Sa. Dr. Kumar taught the students with a lot of love and encouraged the students to ask questions. The students were also quizzed on the lesson given at random!

Dear Friends of Anad,

This Sunday, we will be blessed with the 6th Full Moon of the year 2013. As I am traveling for the months of June and July, Anad Core Team members have planned to host poetry events to mark the upcoming two full moons – providing you all much respite from my singing.

I am in Italy these days nursing a slipped disc in the lower lumber region. The doctors have told me that I have been a little fortunate – precautions aren’t my best friends. Driving is forbidden. I had my Innova engine roaring within an hour of a slipped disc on June 12 just as Air Marshal Dr. Amarjit Singh Chahal advised me not to drive over the phone. I even wrote a “poem” on my slipped disc leaving the ones in their places still, fuming. “Upon slipping only one gets a note of acknowledgement, eh?!”, they all said in tandem! Oops, this post was about the Punya Baithak!

Here is the info:
You are all humbly requested to converge at the Fort of Sultanpur Lodhi to celebrate Haiku by some very fascinating poets – and of course, this will be our second full moon event without electricity!

Professor Sarbjot Singh Behl, Dr. Mandip Mann, Surinder Sapera, Satvinder Gill and Rajinder Singh Ghuman will recite their Haiku poetry on Sunday, June 23, 2013 between PM-s 4:00 – 7:00 at Sultanpur Lodhi Qila, District Kapurthala, Punjab.
