Raza,

Nice guest column by Vidya Rao. Bansuri is indeed a beautiful instrument and Vidya really brings out the mystical and historical underpinnings of its melodious and mesmerizing effect. In the hands of a Chaurasia, a Pannalal Ghosh or Saeen Ditta Qadri you can hear the potential of this humble, mellifluous instrument. I have always in my mind associated Bansuri with the pastoral landscape of Punjab which I imagine has similarities to Brindaban on the banks of the Jamuna where Krishna is said to have played the instrument in its iconic setting surrounded by gopis.

Yet teachers are seldom asked to study the language they teach or how its form carries its message. ,
