It was yet another usual night after a grilling day in office with those recurring meetings, recursive codes, reclusive bugs and illogical deadlines! But this day, apart from dinner, my wife has something special for me. Carefully she has recorded a one hour Carnatic Concert in AIR (I mean, the good old Aakaashwani radio) into her medieval era cellphone. And as soon as I got in, she started insisting me to listen to it, specifically, the last song in Darbaari Kanada, which we had "discovered" recently.
I somehow managed to delay it till our dinner is over. There is no easy way on her cell to move quickly to the last song. One should listen it entirely to reach the last one. But then there is no way I could escape without listening to this "deligent" recording. Thus I ended up lying on the bed listening to this Bombay Jayashri Kutcheri, in her chiselled tone over a poor recording. And at last, came the last song - Sarvam Brahmamayam composed by Sadasiva Brahmendral in Darbari Kanada.
It is the first time I am listening to it. But what to say, even in its poorest of possible recording, it just blew me away. This gem of Sadasiva Brahmendral finely modulated by Bombay Jayashri in Darbaari Kanada was many times more than what my material mind could handle. I felt, I am melting, melting into nothingness.
Though in hindsight it could be due to various factors it hit me so hard - tiring day topped by the family, the society, work, money - all creeping all over and then suddenly someone says "Sarvam Brahmamayam!" HA! WHAT A PEACE! Not sure if anyone could make any sense out of this. But for me, now every time, I find sense only in this - yes - "Sarvam Brahmamayam"!
