So where does music begin and where does it end? Like Kolkata there are no limits, no lines, no barriers.Every family has a Cd, or a cassette player or a radio, or Tv or an IPod or MP3, MP4 players, USB Drives, and notebooks.The favourite pastime is singing or playing the tabla on the nearest hard surface.Almost every child knows oris trained in either music or dance.One of the favourite day-out activity is going to a "function". And every celebration must have music and song.What is dying out perhaps is the appreciation for classical music functions--even though apparently there still are a goodly number in attendance.Bangla Puratoni gaan, Raser Gan, Bhaktigeeti are heard in limited areas as many of our youth are being drawn to Hindi Film music thanks to the talent shows. But to the credit of these shows, the prize winners are usually the ones with the trained voice, versatile and rich in delivery.
What is abiding is the love for music, which is now a passion and a commitment....
