Original Hindi Single (2017) | Rasika Balama (Full Version) | Bijayashreee Samal | NANDIGHOSHA GROUP

Hello world!

It's been really long since I posted anything here. I am really feeling bad about it. As we all know and as a matter of fact, most of us are on different social platforms and to keep a track of every platform is not only time consuming but too much, at times. Especially, if you are in a profession like music and having a family with children, you definitely need to give an equal attention if not more for each of the two things. I guess, to keep a balance between your profession and family is one of the toughest challenge for most of the mothers world wide. Back in 2010, when I started my blog, I was really up for it to share things which I feel, things that matter to me; I wanted to share my experiences which I acquired at several stages of my life, my journey of music etc etc. So in a way, my blog used to be the only place in Switzerland where I could pour my heart out and distress after very long and tiring days.
However, my music journey required me to be on different social platforms to promote my music, be it concerts or any new song arrival. I never could realize, that I became very irregular in posting in my blog. I missed posting or sharing about many important  things that I shared about my music on different social platforms.

Somehow, I feel I should now at least try to keep my Blog up to date especially because I started it when I was no where else on other platforms and my Blog used to be my favorite place to write and share thongs with the world.

So here is sharing  my original Hindi single 'Rasika Balama' which is the first song released after the formation of my Indian spiced jazz/ world music group 'NANDIGHOSHA'. You can know about NANDIGHOSHA Group in details by visiting it's official website.

L comme la lune- Be there with us

L comme la lune

A play  connecting Art with  Spirituality

Venue:  

L'etincelle - Maison De Quartier Jonction
Ave. St.-Clotilde 18bis
Geneva, Switzerland

'L comme la lune' literally meaning  Like the moon" is an ambitious project by Choreographer Luanda Mori hailing from Brazil. I am part of the project due to Luanda who wanted a pure Hindustani Classical Vocalist as per the demand of the script.  I am really happy to work on this project though it was tough initially to understand the project completely . It was necessary for me to know that  the portion of singing was connected to the entire play in a broader way and has significance in ending the play in a good note.

'L comme la lune' is play exploring the sacred and feminine symbolism thereby continuing the quest, the link between art and spirituality. Inspired by the symbolism of Hatha yoga, the creation explores the feminine and masculine strength through the powerful image of the moon reflecting the elevation of the spirit and beauty of the soul.

"The crescent moon adorning the matted hair of Shiva
And the bracelet broke in love quarrel,
It brings together the form of a ring.
The smiling face, the daughter of the mountain
Shiva said: Look!
May Shiva, be Girija,
May this moon be 

the moon reflecting  the smile of Parvati.  

We Protect ".

As the New Year celebration continues, there are families across the world mourning for their loved ones. Probably searching for the answers why it happened to them. It's cruel how people including innocent children lost their lives in multiple unfortunate incidents in 2014. 

Let's keep all of them in our prayers when we are welcoming the New Year. Let's pray for piece, happiness and love for all of us. 

Wish you all A Very Happy New Year 2015. 

Let this year be the best year for all of you. 

Stay blessed and keep shining...

I am a great fan of Late Shri Rituparno Ghosh ji. This song is from his movie Memories in March & the lyrics is by himself. I love this song immensely. Like I love the song, I love Shubhamita ji (the original singer of this song) as well, I keep listening to her in my quite times. We were in a small party at somebody's house, when I sang this song on request of a friend. She wanted me to record this song for her once I get back to my home and I had to because I can not break her heart:):)..
