‘Karuna Kyo Nahin Aave’ and ‘the Absolute’



It was quite accidental that I heard Chandrasekhar Vaze (Kirana Gharana) singing Ustad Abdul Karim Khan Saheb’s favorite thumri ‘Gopala Mori Karuna Kyo Nahin Aave’. I was driving my car in the evening and the CD that being played had this song. The friend who was with me appreciated: “I feel like already had my two pegs of vodka due for this winter evening”. My reply went like: “If so, what would you feel when you listen to his Guru Pandit Firoz Dastur singing the same, having two pegs of ‘the Absolute’ itself?”

Here are both the tracks, please don’t miss:
