In 1968, Ustad Abdul Halim Jafar Khan, along with his disciples, composed an album called 'Sitar Quintet' which had some truly off-the-path tracks.
The tracks were: 1) Chandani Kedar 2) Mazamiri 3) Khusrawani 4) Sharavati 5) Kalpana 6) Miya Malhar Would anybody be having this album? It is not available in Mumbai or Pune. Self - belief is the most potent force.

QUOTE(Mandrake @ Jun 8 2005, 07:17 AM) Good observation, Anurag , except that the quintet remains a quintet - the sixth is the tabla player. Surprising part is that Anurag, Bibhas and Unni haven't heard this? I cannot bring myself to believe this!!! I used to play one of the tracks on a bul-bul tarang!!! (Don't expect anything great to come out of it though ) Shakespeare na? : there are more surprises on earth than heaven can dream of.." Stranger things have happened, Mandrake. Let's revel in this small surprise, while we can. As for observation, I missed a part. And now that I see closely, I think this arrangement may be deliberate and well thought out. Notice that there is a heptagon too and there are distinguishing patterns on the floor as well as the amoeba like free-form shapes inside triangles. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living". I fear if I examined it, then according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle it would somehow change. After all, we are just particles.
