    Dear @Afresh ,

    As always so refreshing to see you with your enthusiasm!
    Welcome back. It is amazing how a part of this regimen ends up being a life style choice and happy to note that you have made that choice too! This time around has been a little tougher than normal, I have re started a couple of times but....It is nice to meet up with old and new friends and fellow participants. Keeps us going! Do update when you can!

    Thank you everyone. Yesterday was much better. I’m learning Raag Bhairav these days. It’s a pratham prahar raag meaning the traditional hour of rendition is early morning between 6-9 am. I’ll never stop being amazed by how the same 7 notes can evoke the feeling of dawn in one combination and dusk with just a slightly different arrangement. This is a song based on Raaga Bhairav in Dr Prabha Atre’s voice. Listening to it in the early hours of the day works like meditation for me.
