L comme la lune- Be there with us

'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:):)..
