Sharing some of those varied moments of A Thousand Words,...
Book shelf in the family room...wish I could make more time to read...



...Some biographies, some home decor coffee table books...This one on the Bangash family is a treasured one...signatured by the Sarod Maestro Amjad Ali Khan and his sons Aman and Ayaan Ali Khan. It was a beautiful experience talking to the family and my first glimpse to the traditional gharana concept, the humility and the 'Adda' that bespoke a very rich tradition and upbringing in these modern times...

...Some letters from my grandfather, grand uncles to my father...some of them go back to 1940's...some pictures from around that same time...some negatives...

...a treasured card from my brother in 2004 on my birthday,...what makes this card special were the stamps he had gotten made of my dad...it was 6 months after my dad had passed away...however getting this card and the stamp-pictures of my dad...made it feel, as though my dad himself was wishing me...
Hope you enjoyed the post...Adios until next wednesday...
