Not so long ago, a friend (m2) sent us this link. And by us, I mean the other two of us, pristine, and me. Its like the three of us form a whole, incomplete without each other. On 3 different continents, but together, part of each other, people of the same insanities. But I digress, here's the link: Easy - Anoushka / Norah / Karsh
Its magical, isn't it. Just the right amount of plinky plonky Sitar, and then the smooth as silk, warm as caramel voice of Norah Jones. Magical, I tell you.
Which brings me to the subject of this post, what is it with the string instrument and Indian subjects? We regularly come across instances of the exoticized India being background-musiced by the Sitar. And it feels so nice, so homely. Like its mine. This warm cozy feeling in all this music.
Just the other day, pristine was speaking of opening a restaurant in (where else?) Goa. And today, whilst hearing this song, I was picturing sitting in such a restaurant, yellow candles flickering in the fading light, and the 3 of us, together, in our bliss.
Ah! but then I dream too much....
