"dhaaang-dhaa-dhaaang-dhaaaaaang"

dhaak'er aawaj.. there's something in that which draws me to it.. not the oft mistaken punjabi dhol-nagaada for that humble paati dhaak, but just that austere dhaak.. jetake, i often thought when i was a kid, and i guess i still continue thinking, jhaadu'r kaathi die bajaye.. yes, that is the dhaak im talking about.. know it? you wont, if you dun know what dhaak is, in the first place..
the charm of the make-shift accompanying "dhaaang-dhaa-dhaaaang" of the dhaak, with the steel'er kaandh uchu thala and chamuch.. and the sheer joy of playing on to that.. infectious.. and yes.. you wont know it, if you dun know what dhaak is, in the first place..
the stinging of excitement into the air, when there is pujo barite.. the hochpoch, chachamichi, kannakati, khunti naarano, aalta lagano, et al..
and if you ask me why im writing this? no clue at all.. its just that dhaak'er aawaj that set me off..:) yes, its the awesome pair of the dhaak and the dhunuchi naach :)
you know it? i guess, you wont ever.. if you dun know what dhaak is, in the first place..
