Shukriya Anoushka ji

When you do not plan to go to the Anoushka Shankar concert and you end up getting free tickets as if it was written in the stars that you had to be there. 

and of course... of course, you can't escape it, you end up having an unforgettable time watching a mesmerizing performance by the artist.

yes Anoushka, we get it that you are a virtuoso just as your father was. but beyond that mastery for your art, I was so very moved by the intensity of the relationship you share with your sitar. was it you playing the instrument or you being the instrument of the instrument?

by the way, why did you seem so surprised by the response of the public? did it not occur to you, any single second, that we would fall head over heels for your talent, devotion and sense of engagement for humanitarian causes. 

Sitar is not my favorite instrument. but watching YOU play the sitar... fuck that is quite something!!!
