Music, SVNITcanteen, Grammy

International Congress Of Environment Research 2011 at NIT SURAT..... brought not only environment-enthusiasts from various nations.... but also Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt- the inventor of Mohan Veena.

The Grammy Award (1994) winning maestro from Jaipur enchanted the audience comprising music and environment lovers with his Raag Malhaar and then generating echoes of his native birds -- the peacocks.

Vibrations of his shoulders, fast moves of his fingers, the soft movement of one palm and the aggressive use of the other one on the strings and the jugalbandi with Tabla...
the audience couldn't stop from joining in.

Listeners could be heard reciting "Padharo maare des" along with Panditji .

He then entertained the gathering with his Grammy award winning number... the mix of sounds of guitar and veena in turns ,coupled with his smiles and finger clicks added to the magic.

To quote the audience: "KYA BAAT HAI"..."WAAH WAAH"
