Rain Rain go away ... come again another day...!!

Somethings dont change... Life paranoia... ha..ha...

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day...
Litle johny wants to play..
Rain rain go away..!!

I was not pretty small, a perfect teen of 14 years. My mommy made me learn this raga in my 4th year of music course.... "Miyan Malhar".. A raga that great musicians used to sing to get the rain fall...

Had not u been missing the great movie Guddi.." Bole re papihara" where Jaya sings the famous bandish of the raga(though a bit modified). Someone seen Lagaan... "Ghanana ghanana ghana ghira aaye badra"




Originated from the parent raga "Kaafi", MAlHAR is a versatile raga with a great use of both the NI in the raga..

I dont know what made me write this dumb things nor do i bother if anyone reads it... Malhar has ben a raga which makes me feel satisfied, joyous and playful... whenever some one says me to sing ... touch wood, i speel out this raga from my mouth... "Umada ghumad ghana barase bhundara"

Rashid Khan,one of the mesteros of Hondustani Classical, did sing a great bandish in his collections...

The way the raga begins is marvellous and a joyful experience to any musiz lover... the raga for the rainy season... malhar has the blend that will make u wet without rain drops... a raga to be loved, sung and cherished... a raga of festive times... Miyan Ki Malhar ..!!
