A silent companion


No idea what might prompted Ustad Amir Khan to sing this 'Maru Kalyan'

While listening, an annoyed mind quarreled with me: who are we to question a singing seer’s wanderings?

If so, please tell me what prompts a singer to walk alone?

Last night I was listening to this rendition again and again

This year’s winter is like a reluctant and alien note in a seasonal raga…

Abandoned like an orphan?

Delhi December is not as cold as it used to be.

Ustad Amir Khan Saheb walks through Maru Kalyan’s solitary tunnel…

He didn’t realize that I am his silent companion

Though he makes me too solitary
