Plato once said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” And this is the power of music that transcends into love. Mera Yaar, a musical short film, is a blend of innocence, emotions and passion for love and happiness.

It paints the memories of our first crush in school. From the moments of looking at your crush for the first time to feeling a tickle of nostalgia years later when we bump into them, they always remain special in our lives. But, what if they become a source of inspiration in our lives. Mera Yaar is the story of such a memorable and inspiring love.

It is directed by Parag Vijra, while Shivam Vashisht is the singer and lyricist of this musical piece. Conceived by the team of Episode1 and Creative Canvas Entertainment, it stars Shivam Vashisht and Shivani Wazir.

Come let us go back to the lanes of our first crush with this beautiful composition.

Let us all just take a deep breath. Let us for a moment, take time to breathe the air which is fragrant with the aroma freedom, the air for which many of our forefathers sacrificed their lives, and the air which many of them never did breathe in their lifetime. I am sure it starkly reminds us of the privilege of being born in a free nation. This Republic Day we bring you a reminder of this gift.

The Constitution is the essence and a culminated product of the efforts of all our freedom fighters. Its motives were lofty and noble, as Nehru stated, “The first task of this Assembly is to free India through a new constitution, to feed the starving people, and to clothe the naked masses, and to give every Indian the fullest opportunity to develop himself according to his capacity.” Celebrating this proud occasion, we bring to you few music covers of some very talented Indians.

Shasank Shekhar provides us with a beautiful cover titled “Sandese Aaata hai” which pays a sensational tribute to the Indian army and all those who fought and continue to fight to uphold the integrity of our nation. Twin Strings present a medley of inspiring Indian tunes which fill the nerves of every Indian with patriotic fervour, including songs like, ‘Haan yahi rasta hai tera’, ‘Kandhon se milte hain Kandhe’, ‘Vande Matram’ and many more. SAHEBA brings forward a melodious mashup of various patriotic songs sung with ardent passion and in the serene voices of Saheba, Pooja Giri, Puja Lucky Sharma. In her absolutely stunning voice, Varsha Tripathi sings various songs devoted to the aesthetics of our nation, to the struggles of our ancestors and their longing for freedom.

We wish you all a very Happy Republic Day!

It is the most common story of children ignoring their parents to win the race of life, oftentimes forgetting those who gave us the gift of life. When our parents reach their second childhood, they only ask for the love and quality time of their children. But, we stay busy in the hustle of life, forgetting the sacrifices they made and the pain they endured to fulfill our dreams. And the sad part is that we realise this only after losing them to the stars.

The love of a mother, in particular, is the purest form of love. Despite all the pain, we give her, a mother always forgives her child, as was rightly stated by Honore de Balzac, “The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness”,

Divya Kumar, in his mesmerising voice, paints these emotions flawlessly in his latest song “Tere Aanchal”. It depicts the memories that a mother recollects while missing her son and highlights the pain she goes through by the ignorant behaviour of her children. It portrays the longing of a mother for her children and heartbreak of the son who misses his mother after she is long gone.

Parag Vijra from Creative Canvas Entertainment highlights that the heartbreaking stories of children considering their parents as a burden were the inspiration behind this concept. Reminding the children that treasuring this relationship is more important than materialistic pursuits, is the soul behind this concept.

This heart touching melody is sung by Divya Kumar, composed by Ritesh Kumar Nalini, its lyrics are penned by Sonia Khurania and produced by Parag Vijra of Creative Canvas Entertainment in association with Buzzverb IMC and co-produced by Dr. Mohit Sharma, with Devlok Channel as its Video Partner and JUGNUCRAFT as the Digital Partners.

‘Tere Aanchal’ is now available on Gaana, Saavn, Hungama and more than 100 music apps worldwide. 

Music has the power to stir souls. I’m sure we all have experienced the power of music, if not often, then at least once during our lifetimes. It adds weight to our moments of joy as well as lifts us during grief and sadness. Indian classical music, one of the toughest to master, is a soulful part of the diverse musical forms present all around the world. Moreover, as digitalization takes over the music industry, it is important that forms of digitalized Indian music be introduced so that it’s horizons are expanded.

The Kapi dance, an original piece composed by Mahesh Raghvan and Nandini Shankar is a perfect blend of electronic music with the music produced by classical Indian instruments. Very beautifully executed, the music produced makes one sway soulfully and prompts one to dance at the same time. A mixture of Carnatic, Hindustani and Electronic music, it relaxes and loosens up the listener’s mind. The expressions and joviality present on the enthusiastic faces of the musicians make the video even more enjoyable. We recommend you to give a listen to this commendable piece of music and join us in our enjoyment of it!

The 21st century is the era wherein auto tunes and digital instruments enable anyone and everyone to produce music. Thus, in today’s age, authenticity in music holds greater value than it ever did. Unlike digital music, authentic classical instruments take years to master and perfect. An essential instrument of Indian classical music, the Tabla, holds the spotlight of this segment.
