Jagjit Singh (TOI Photo)The mood was set for a zordaar mehfil. After the soulful performance of Ghulam Ali, just a week back, it was time for ghazal lovers to soak in the melodies of the silken voice of Jagjit Singh.
Under the canopy of the night sky, thousands of ghazal lovers queued up and waited to embark on a journey of evergreen ghazals with the maestro.
Finally, the curtains went up and Jagjit Singh stepped in. As he settled down with his harmonium, the venue reverberated with thunderous cheers. The wah wah's of the audience were heartfelt as the maestro began with Chand bhi dekha, Phool bhi dekha followed by Tera chehra kitna suhana lagta hai.
Nostalgia abounds He took the audience on a nostalgic trip from childhood to youth as he sang Yeh Daulat Bhi le lo, yeh shauhrat bhi le lo.
Just as people were savouring these rich melodies, the classical touch to Honthon se... left the audience awestruck. As the ghazal king played with words and rendered them in varied styles, people applauded.
The fascinating jugalbandis he had with his talented accompanists added vibrancy to the concert. As music flowed, one lost count of the hours slipping by. As the clock struck 10, it was time to for the musical journey to end, and the audience left grudgingly. The quiet humming that went on, as people walked out, was proof of the fact that the ghazal king had conquered them all.
Power Quotient
Some of the political heavyweights who took out time for an evening of ghazals included State BJP President Nitin Gadkari, PWD Minister Anil Deshmukh, who came along with his wife Arti and Mayor Mayatai Iwnate. Businessman Suresh Sharma was spotted enjoying the concert, while Sandeep Gavai was engrossed in a tête-à-tête with the chief guest of the function, Chief Income Tax Commissioner Dhananjay Dharmik.

The lines clearly struck a chord with the audience as they hummed along with him as he sang Hoshwalon ko khabar kya, Tumko dekha to khayal aaya, Jhuki jhuki si nazar and Honthon se chhu lo tum.
