The Jam of 11 th Jan----

We are getting lazier in the New year,, we were late again , in fact the official time for the jam is 7.30 now.. I would still suggest we should try to be back with the original timings that’s 6.30 so we see the setting sun, enjoy more energy in the dawn, and the cool breeze… and make us more identified on the amphi…Also everyone who is not staying nearby and still rushing for the jam like me , can enjoy a handful of time without getting thrashed back home late in night….
Folks..please save me… or I shall be soon driven out from the home too…u shall have to refuge me on the Band stand... well though i wont mind " Sharukh's Bungalow" ... sorry no dreaming..
Back to the jam,, , I chose to meet Keekoo Uncle who always encourages us and believes in us.. before staring with the jam...he is keeping a lil low these days with his health , so I really dint force him to accompany us to the jam…nevertheless his words keep guiding..
Blame it on the traffics,\ and the official works , the girl power manage to reach half an hour earlier than the guys , and we were wondering of how do we initiate the jam without our musicians.. it also led us to think how incomplete were we to stand as individual ;some onlookers were curious about when do we start playing.. and whoopy that was smiles for us!! Someone waits for us…blushing we !!!
So no sooner when the musicians arrive , and comes our smiling Tarun.. where in his Djembe really sparks some energy,…….We are There --- MFM …… the ever growing jam band, and there are people , some new , some curious , some of our regular ones who take to seats to participate , some others who choose to stand and peep from behind the crowds, some just humming away some songs.. some to sing it loud , some there to listen to us , some just walking away after the music( not to be troubled with lectures please they say….) isn’t it one big family with all the diversities…so don we have to overlook the weaknesses of some of our shy people and overcome them with our strengths … ;well that's one more lesson … I learn at the jam.. and with every jam I become more tolerant , more learned …..
its so glad to see my people like Gauri to help audience raise the voice, its nice to see our Gajju, Kailash and Pulin make people correct their tunes and sing in a single note, its lovely to see our smiling Tarun teach people tapping their fingers on his Djembe.., its lovely to see Vrinda catching up people’s mood in her camera which keeps us the memory of evry jam and every moment that was so special in the jam..its lovely to see Bharti with her silent presence there everytime cheering us and for me it feels nice to speak out my heart and then still be bear by my friends even when I would just murder the songs….!! We are having fun…. And we are having a message to be happy , to smile , and people we are no group.. – we are an ever growing jam band,,, so just be there and join us...because its also happy to see 'You' all participate in the fun , sing your favourite songs with us,and share those precious moments......

nevertheless the speciality of the jam this time was the folk... Gajju sang some pretty Punjabi songs and the Dua Family joined us. While we wished to hear an original number from them , they threatened us that they could recite only a " hanuman chalisa" .. err so betta for God to save us ,, we told them to accompnay us with 'Punjabi Shaavas' and 'oye hoye's'...the jam still had energy to continue till 10.30 wheras i had to rush back home at 10 , before posing the group photograph for the day... well offcourse i had to sing a song back home to my mom to allow me inside...
Folks----------- save me , be at 6 to start early at jams ,so i am also at peace at home,,, hehe

All rest…..to the snaps and the smiles,,,,,, yet another Sunday to look forward to……

Gauri and Gajju to start with their usual energies......

Tarun with his smiling energy............
