Eid Qawwali concert


Who would've thought that a Westernized urban girl like me would come to love Hindustani classical music and Urdu poetry. I am glad to learn this about myself. It makes me realize I have struck my roots and respect my heritage.

I really enjoyed the Eid concert that the Times organized the day before the Lead India campaign at the same venue, Bandra Fort. The first group was from Pakistan (Munawwar Masoom) and I loved the Qawwali style of poetry mixed in with music, that goes back centuries.
