sitarist jay (drabble)

genre: fluff

pairing: jay x gn south asian!reader

word count: 610

warnings: none

A/N: in honor of all the holidays coming up (holi, vaisakhi, ramadan/eid, etc.), AND also my srk x jay post that sparked desi enha discourse, this one goes out to all my desi engenes!!!! 🫶🏼 happy holi!!!! happy vaisakhi a month in advance. and a ramadan mubarak to those who celebrate.

soft desi engene hours. could u just IMAGINE sitarist!jay and dholi!you!?!??? 🥺

jay is grateful to have a lover who hails from such a gorgeous, rich culture that spans millennia. and as any connoisseur of culture would say - music isn’t just part of culture….it is culture. he’s been playing guitar for many years now. and he wants to venture out into other stringed instruments. and what better way than learning the sitar?

jay enjoys the calming, soulful, and twangy sound of the sitar. it sends him into a trance and he feels completely immersed in a different world. despite it being “different” from what he’s done before, he believes that the language of music is universal - one felt within the heart first and foremost.

he holds a deep reverence for south asian music. be it nusrat fateh ali khan, kishore kumar, mohammed rafi, noor jehan, or asha bhosle, he feels the timeless, evergreen spirit of such compositions pulse within his soul.

watching him learn the sitar is an endearing sight. ethereal even! seeing the level of dedication he has towards mastering such an art form warms your heart. he wants to learn bhajans, shabads, and ghazals for you. all he wants in life is to express his love for you through music. just chillin’ in his kurtas with the sleeves rolled up and his sitar by his side, showing you the ravi shankar songs he’s learned so far.

on the other hand, he too admires you for your passion for percussion. jay loves your appreciation towards the different types of dhol. he fawns over the euphoric feeling you get when hitting every thappi and tiparu and the way you chant your DHAs and DHINs while doing so. jay also appreciates the way you treat your dagga and tilli sticks like they’re your babies. he loves the swingy sound of dhol beats and the swagger you exude while you play.

jay sometimes gets annoyed when you pester him with the sound of your loud ass dhol while he’s peacefully and calmly practicing his sitar. but he knows it’s out of love and good fun. it’s the desi equivalent of the percussionist kids in band disrupting the ones who play the wind and brass instruments. antics aside, jay appreciates the lively spirit and camaraderie that comes with these musical clashes, cherishing the shared moments of cultural exchange and musical banter.

in the end, these musical escapades become cherished memories, shaping jay’s musical journey with a touch of spontaneity and joy. the blend of dhol and sitar, once seemingly contrasting, transforms into a celebration of diversity within your shared love for music. as the two of you continue your artistic pursuits, jay realizes that the moments of lighthearted banter and cultural exchange have added a special rhythm to the soundtrack of your relationship - one of seismic adoration.

with each note played and every shared laugh echoing in the air, jay acknowledges that your artistic pursuits have not only strengthened your musical connection with each other, but have also deepened your bond with him. the rhythm of seismic adoration encompasses the highs and lows, much like the crescendos and decrescendos in your collaborative performances. through the language of music, your relationship thrives, creating a symphony of understanding, support, and shared passion that resonates far beyond the notes of your instruments.

[thecrazyinktrovert]

Love English music all you want, but NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, hits harder than desi music. Like every single singer has their own trademark genre which they can execute PERFECTLY?? 

Can we talk about Arijit’s Mai gehra tamas tu sunehra sawera main tera in Kalank? 

or his Tum sath ho ya na ho kya fark hai, bedard thi zindagi bedard hai in Agar tum sath ho? 

or Tujh sang sukhi roti bhaye in Mast Magan? Ok leave that. 

Lets talk about Atif’s Khayalon me lakho baaten yun toh keh gaya, bola kuch na tere saamne in Tu jaane na?

or Rafta rafta tera hua, tere bin mai hu benishan in Tera hua?

or Tenu lakhan ton chhupa ke rakhaan akkhaan te sajaa ke tu ae meri wafaa, rakh apna bana ke main tere layi aan yaara in Dil Diyan Gallan? Ok leave that

Let's talk about KK's Chaand Teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai in Ajab Si?

Or dil kyun yeh mera shor kare, idhar nahi udhar nahi teri orr chale in Dil Kyu Yeh Mera?

Or lut Gaye hum teri mohabbat me in Tadap Tadap? Ok leave that.

Let's talk about Jubin Nautiyal's tum se jo mil gaye, Mausam khil gaye, khudse ladne Lage hum sawarne lage in sawarne lage?

Or Mausam mohabbaton ke, lamhe ye chahaton ke apne liya bane hai maan le in Gazab ka hai din?

Or tere bina main na rahu mere bina tu in raatan lambiyan? Fine, leave that as well. 

Lets talk about Shreya Ghoshal's kaise huzurji ye lab dikhlaaye, chuppi lagake bhi gazab hai yeh dhaye in saibo.

Or Ye ishq haaye baithe bithaaye jannat dikhaye hain in ye ishq?

Or Dil bharta nahi, aankhen rajjti nahi, chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaun, waqt jaaye main rok na paaun in Thodi Der?

And DO NOT get me started on Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Lata Ji, Asha ji and Sonu Nigam. Desi songs are peak lyrics, romance, emotion and vocals. You're straight up wrong if you think ANYTHING can beat that. I love Taylor, 1D and all, but Hindi songs? Absolutely unmatched!

Comment/reblog you favourite lyrics below!

[orgasming-caterpillar]

DOYH: Music Taste

Ranveer Kashyap

classical music is life (both Hindustani and Carnatic)

Lata Mangeshkar, Muhammad Rafi and Kishore Kumar fanboy to the core

will occasionally turn on a qawwali (doesnt want to admit that he's obsessed)

is very picky in english songs, but likes Hozier, Sleeping At Last, and Frank Sinatra

Raghav Patil

knows how to play acoustic and electric guitar

had a rock/punk phase in high school (only with music tho) and still likes them

boy's got Arctic Monkeys and Mother Mother in his blood

fell in love with retro bollywood music after he plugged into one of ranveer's playlists

he is… SO DRAMATIC. Like,, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan level of dramatic. Played Zaroori Tha in his head while crying in chapter 17

Madhuri Gaikwad

oh she's THAT girl

has a beautiful voice, wants to be like her favorite (Asha Bhosle)

can recite every hindi item song by heart, especially old bollywood ones. Chikni chameli? Ek do teen? Badi mushkil? Chane ke khet mein? She knows them all.

surprisingly, she also knows a lot of aartiyaan and mantras, catch her singing Madhurashtakam at any time of the day.

Manorama Shankar

MARWADI SONGS

is lowkey embarrassed by them usually, but push her onto the dance floor in a rajasthani wedding, and she's killing it on every single beat.

has a gym playlist

has a whole playlist of bollywood loverboy songs for madhuri, sings them at random times to make her blush

Shrishti Kaur

HOZIER LESBIAN

mitski too

hates mainstream bollywood songs

likes hard vocals, more for practicing than for listening because she likes pushing her limits

Remembering screenplay writer/ lyricist Vrajendra Gaur on his death anniversary.

Shankar Jaikishan and Vrajendra Gaur, a Very Good Association

KISHORE AND RAFI - OF BOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST ELEPHANTS & IT’S MOST SUCCESSFUL STORY EVER.

Where geniuses recommended geniuses as replacements, not once but three times within the same story!

Story being - Rajesh Khanna had just announced to the world, after his mega successful year 1969, arguably the greatest singular year for a single artist, & one of his 6-7 consecutive years that saw him deliver ~ 50 films, all of which today find proud place in Indies All-Time Top 500-600 Hindi films ever!..that no other singer would ever playback for him, except the great Kishore Kumar! Naturally then, whenever any song for a Rajesh film would be orchestrated, Kishore would be the person to call for blindly. .. Same for this one song in 'Haathi Mere Saathi' (one of Khanna's 25 films royally included among Indie's All-Time Top 100 Hindi Films ever!) ..the Bengali maestro came to the studios, & started his rehearsals. Yet, for some peculiar reason, he found this particular song very hard to get right, such that even after several attempts & rehearsals, he just couldn't get himself to be satisfied. He kept thinking to himself, & slyly looking at the music composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal all this while, when finally Kishore got up & exclaimed "This is Rafi's song! Only Rafi can sing it!". Kishore perhaps in his genius, sensed that this deeply Rafi number was only given to him, coz of the hero's grand media announcement..and choosing to make a gracious exit would be the best course for sake of art. Yet composers & producers now were in a quandary as to how the megastar would react!..to which the meastro asked them not to worry (perhaps knowing that his deep friendship with Khanna would turn the tide), & as exactly how turned out. But the next problem- Twas considered a big insult in music circles then (& those were the finest most sensitive brilliant musical times indeed) for a singer to be the replacement..& here was Rafi the great, put in that position! Wonder how he'd react?! Not to be a worry, as Rafi saab, famous for his super large heart & angelic demeanor, didn't bat an eyelid, & accepted what was offered!

The result- 1. One of the only entries in record books, of arguably the greatest post-independence singer of Bollywood, ever singing, for it's greatest ever actor! 2. A music album that broke all records, winning the producing music company a silver disc for sales, for the first time! 3. A film that not only turned out to be the biggest hit of the year, but counting for inflation (& only competing with Bahubali) remains the biggest ever Bollywood hit by a South Indian producer!

Hereby dedicated to all animal lovers, & esp animal activists doing yeoman service.

Ofcourse, any Music Playlist of the Great One, be incomplete w/o honoring his singing voice- Kishore Kumar. For though other legends like Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, & Mukesh, did sing handful songs each for him, many even placed at very top of charts, with over 330+ recorded songs as a pair, Rajesh Khanna & Kishore Kumar remain inseparable in hearts & minds of music fans across the globe, as perhaps the greatest musical collaboration of Hin Cin.

And since we mentioned the lording over the different (movie) formats, apt demonstration if ever, be in this particular playlist, encompassing jaw-dropping pop, soul-rendering classy raga, really impactful mood music, & seemingly endless evergreen top-class melody, enveloping within it's awe-inspiring range- sensitivity, chutzpah, & heart-melting grace, all combined with a consistently inspiring & stirring lyrical content..to match the depth, skill, & prowess, of the actor on display.

This actor & his music, perhaps the most unique of all, even revolutionary, in combining beat, raga, & emo, & melody, like very few 've imagined !

This, The Holy Grail Of Film Music Playlists.

The One Playlist, (aside few pre-Independence musical royalties), to encompass the multi-faceted greatness of Indian Cinema, all at once.

And herein, few music directors deserve big credit, first & foremost being his most inspirational collab- with R.D.Burman, together serving ~20 films & ~120 songs, followed by Kalyani-Anandji with another ~100, & the father of them all, S. D. Burman with his own handful in contribution, alongside another ~10 films with Laxmikant -Pyarelal. And last but never the least, another less recalled yet hugely influential name in collab, their lyricist partner for close to half o' entire jt career- Anand Bakshi!

P.S .: 185 Films, over 27 yr Lead career, ie. 7 films per yr, with ~ 4 best actor Indies per yr, throughout ! And 105 officially recorded big money-spinning hits! Incl 48 Platinum Jubilees (those that ran in theatres for 75+ weeks non-stop), 26 Golden Jubilees (50+ weeks), 22 Silver Jubilees (25+ weeks), (ie ~100 ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTERS !), & 9 hits (10+ weeks). (Going by the previous most reliable & foolproof method of counting long-term durability of films in theatres,as barometer for success) (https://tooter.in/IndieSpace/posts/107664040311170448)

A phenomenal monetary & critically successful performance card, atleast 3 times ahead of next best, just on plain statistical regard alone, at Indies….Aside power-steering 20 Films into Indies All-Time Top 100 Films Scroll (incl 3 in Top 30, & 5 in Top 50), 40 Films into the Indies All Time Top 300 Hindi Films Scroll, 50 Films in All-Time Top 400, & 60 Films into All-Time Top 800 !

Another record guaranteed to stay untouched in history,being his unimaginable feat of 44 consecutive hits as lead hero,for 8 consecutive yrs,from 1969-76!

Infact days of his film releases across Ind thru the 70s,were such a cultural phenomena,would be marked by a large pan India absence from schools & colgs alike!

HE ALONE HAS 71 FILMS IN TOP 300 BIGGEST BOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTERS EVER! 👇 ( http://www.imdb.com/list/ls564758654/ )

Reason this is also called 'The God's Playlist' or 'Playlist to the Heavens' !

This IS as great as it gets. ⚜
