I classify them here as sung by male& female singers and you can decide which gender scores. Choosing which ones to post and which ones to leave out has been the most difficult tasks. There’s a treasure trove of Thumris in Khamaj out there and one of the major reasons for the delay in posting this one has been. This blog talks in detail about one interesting aspect of thumris- how its singing flitted from gender to gender due to changing social norms and audience tastes. Thumris are commonly sung in Pilu, Bhairavi, Pahadi and of course Khamaj. The words usually talk of love and a reference to the Lord Krishna is a common feature. Thumris are a light semi classical form of Hindustani music, the shorter musical presentations based on ragas, as compared to the Khayal which is a more elaborate presentation that slowly unfolds. The nuances of the Raag are explained here : It is also recommended that Pa in its ascent be used less and that brings together the Ma and Dha in a joyous combination. A weak Dha in also ascent adds to its beauty. Khamaj is Shadav sampoorna, Re is omitted in the ascent which utilizes a Shuddh Nishaad. The beauty of the Raag indeed lies in the Komal Nishaad in the descent, which adds a pensive beauty to the Raag. He looked backwards and lowered his voice! He was possessed by the magic of the Nishads, traversing all the millions of ways in which they could be reached” Then with a jerk, he crept down, singing Komal Nishad, like the bending branch of a Mango tree! He approached the note and seemed to study it from all angles – literally! He bent this way and that, stood up and looked downwards, fingers still on the harmonium. Then he continued in a whisper, Shadaj, extending it long and soft. “He sang Shuddha Nishad, Shadaj, Shuddha Gandhar, Shuddha Madhyam, Pancham, Shuddha Dhaivat, Shuddha Nishad and Shadaj. Ajoy Chakraborty of the Patiala gharana performing a khayal in the raagĪn evening time raga, it is the representative Raag of the Thaat by the same name under the Bhatkande system of classification of Hindustani Music Dhrupad and long khayals are rare in this raag. It has also captured the imagination of music composers in movies. We planned to cover some points while we move.Khamaj is a very sweet, light raga, used extensively in lighter forms of Hindustani classical music like thumris and dadras and the seasonal chaitis and horis. SO on a sunny sunday (planning courtesy - ) - Me, my colleague and our building manager planned for a trip towards cape point. Once I reached there - started looking for spots which I can visit.and people flooded me with ideas.some of them were - Two oceans aquarium, Table mountain, Signall Hill, Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, Cape Point, Wine yards and innumerous Beaches namely - Camps Bay, Cliffton Bay, Blouberg, Boulders, Hout, Sandy (the official and only nudist beach in capetown) etc.now it was my turn to pick a few of them. I was little relieved.after all African Tourism is the most costliest in the world and I am getting paid to be there :-) But then came the news - I am not going to Jo'burg.but to Capetown. With all the WAR (?!!!) news about the black and white - I was really scared. The day when I was informed that I will have to travel South Africa for a short Business trip, I was a little skeptical about the place. Will I quit ever.people who know me.knows - I NEVER QUIT.so probably I will never quit.but why this thought this uncertainty within me.why do I even feel that I might quit.though I know I wont.never ever.may be it's because everything should be experienced sometime in life.but if I quit this time, I will be a big time quitter.hold on.what am I quitting.oh Gosh I forgot.!!! is it because I need to decide something radical in my life, or is it because I can't decide at all.is it because I want help from others to decide or is it because I don't want others to help me decide.Do I want to decide.or this state of indecisiveness is what I am liking.watever be the case - I wanna write.donno what.but just feel like penning down all the passing thoughts.actually they are just gushing at this moment.Life at this moment sounds very interesting to me.suddenly I feel like I will have something to do in mah life for some next couple of years.or may be I will quit. only thing I know at this point is I feel like writing.had never been a writer except writing papers during the examinations.but what made me feel like write something today.!! I wonder. Life - as it says is never 's never easy in a straight way and neither in a crooked way!!! What am I writing.donno.
