The stage was set…the celebrity musicians for the day had arrived…all preparations completed.
As the players…a renowned table player and a young innovative veena player take their positions in front of their instruments, the audience, which consists of children between age group of 14-17, gives a loud thundering applause.
The performers are thrilled….they are happy on receiving such an appreciating audience…the recital goes on for about 2 hrs amidst continuous clapping and cheering by the audience.
Finally the performance comes to an end….faces of the musicians are beaming with satisfaction, happiness and pride.
It has been a successful recital going by the response of the audience.
But before you jump to the conclusion that today’s young generation really enjoyed this classical recital…..WAIT and see the other side of the picture.
The audience clapped at the starting to mock the musicians….in between to tell them that it’s enough for the day and that they are not interested in listening further and at the end to express their relief at being let off( Finally) from this torturous performance.
Hmm…..so what do you say now???
As a colleague says “When they listen to ‘marjaani’ and ‘tu saala’…..why would they listen to veena and table……”
