Chattri:Nights in the hills are especially
quiet; a heavy voice resonates through the wind, a classical melody slowly
fills up a silent valley. At its height, it meets the hills which keep it alive
long after it has stopped - what echoes is a madhya-raatri raag. Surjeet is
living his name. It’s time for his riyaz.
Daytime
is a striking contrast. Upbeat music blasts off the speakers, in tune with the
college tempo, his tiny stationary shop is full of college girls who find the
musical setting very comforting. They bring their own tracks and play it on his
new laptop that has replaced the phone. Meanwhile, he photocopies - work that
gets so loaded during exams that he finishes it after a quick dinner at home,
back at the shop - with the shutter down and his favorite music playing.
