Anth Tak 37- Dil Ki Girah Khol Do - 2

Write up by Madhulika Chandrakumar –

AnthTak37  had all of us head  our way towards Manak and Tara’s house.  The ambience was an inviting gaddi and cushion arranged colourful one. After everyone streamed in, the curtains opened to reveal a beautiful banner against a rich blue backdrop which read  ‘Anthtak Talkies present- Dil ki girah khol do-2’.  And do we need to open the knots of our heart to sing, mehfil mein koi ajnabee nahin jab, dil kholke geet gaane mein hichkenge hum kab?

 

As always, we sang our hearts out and the impressive list of songs that follow show the prowess of the group.  If the hearts sing, can the tapping of the feet be far away. With Manakji as our lead dancer and with Ram, Vijay and Chandra giving occasional company and Maria, Deepa and others swaying along, the evening turned out to be not only an aural treat but also a visual one. 

 

Amidst all the masti, the hot samosas, the sweets and the chai were doing the rounds in the evening. As the night progressed and with expending energy, the dinner was a fabulous spread of hot phulkas straight off the oven,  dumaloo, paneer makhani, pakodis,  dal, vegetable pulao, raita, salads, papad, pickle and moong dal halwa for dessert.  Dinner was a delightful experience indeed.

 

Thereafter in some other get together there may have been good byes but not at AnthTak.  We went back to our singing until the delicious deep, rich, brown chocolate cake arrived. Manak and Tara were given the honours of cutting the cake and everyone sang  ‘Happy birthday AnthTak’. The programme ended with ‘Kar Chale hum fida …’ to herald the true spirit of  independence day. 

 

We missed Jaina, Gopi, Geethika, Praneetha, Bharat and Vivek.  Special thanks to Praneetha for the brilliant banner and to Venkat for the title poster. Manak, Tara and Aditya had made it a memorable evening for one and all. Until we meet again at Anttak 38, let the music ring in our ears……

Rama adds –

In all her modesty, Madhu as always does not add how integral her music, dance, her tidbits of information and her very presence means to Anth Tak. Thanks a ton Madhu for the wonderful write up, the unique way of stringing Lata’s songs in such a beautiful manner, the jhatkas and the nakhras
