On Marriage Anniversary in Jocund Company

In Purnea we have a small group of music lovers. Raman, Bihariji and Amar are my musical associates aimdst whom i often present displays on instruments like sitar, flute, tabla and harmonium whatever i had learnt at home as well as at Netarhat. Unlike me, others prefer classical bhajans, khayals and several other forms of hindustani music which they had learnt from the royal Guru Kumar Shyamanand Singh of the earstwhile Banaili royalty. I too enjoy their variety of vocal presentations. The only performer amidst us is Amar who is also a music teacher. Raman is a good writer He has a command over languages and formats of literature. They are good happy go lucky travellers. They are religious and well known pilgrims. Unlike them i enjoy most in the company of undergraduate students in my department. There are less post graduate students these days since most of them have various engagements. Outside the college campus, i enjoy most in the aforesaid jocund company.Our group also has a rule to enjoy home made food on occasions like birthdays, musical gatherings, marriage anniversaries and so forth.I and Raman prefer less rich while Bihariji and Amar prefer rich food intake. We all enjoy to drive a vehicle to cover distant places in the region only though Raman and Amar prefer to drive for days together. Raman's son drives throughout the nation quite often. We also disagree but forget and forgive such lapses. As we are growing we find a trend to talk less and keep silence even sitting together.Music remains the whole and sole key factor to bind our souls with the growing age. Tonight we had a memorable round of musical rendezvous. Bihariji could not join.
