Everything is wind*

There are guys who like to bring it upon themselves to make sure that people around them are aware of their affluence by including phrases like 'When I was in Frankfurt..." or 'during my umrah' to subtly announcing his 'holier than thou' devotion to his new found faith. I remember a guy who was boasting about his multi million ringgit project just not to have enough money to pay his minuscule clinic bill!
In short there are many around us who are pure show offs (and some empty vessels with a lot of noise).
There is this small built guy with a rather strange head gear which looks like a cross between a turban and a beanie with an ever willing toothy smile and a piercing stare whom I had the privilege of meeting through my line of work.
He appeared to me to be timid, soft spoken and courteous. One day, he presented to me a CD and asked me to have a listen. It turned out to be his debut instrumental composition album, a 7 track musical extravaganza with he as the composer whilst playing the melodious and hypnotic Indian flute of Bansuri. Even though I am neither a connoisseur of music nor play any musical instrument, surely I am qualified to say when the music is simply spectacular and this is one of it.
Many musical  instruments are included in this production, bansuri being the main attraction. He is trying to infuse styles of various parts of the world here, Java being the highlight and my favourite track. It is suitable for relaxation and would be an ideal backdrop for businesses that promote Bali spa! It starts and ends with an scenario of a jungle with chirping birds and splashing water. It later goes on to introduce flute music and a kind of gamelan music. Nice stuff. The rest of the pieces have heavy Indian influence.
I just found out the track is not out in the market yet and he is still looking for a VIP to do the necessary stuff. In the meantime, he was hand picked to be our ambassador to perform for Prince William's state visit to Malaysia.
He was also seen on TV Malaysia playing flute for another artiste (see below).
Anyway, Sesatre, Happy Fatherhood! May your newborn and her crying set new ragas and talas to your imagination and your next compositions.
*'Everything is wind' is his motto on his calling card. Probably quite apt for his line of profession, playing wind instruments. Hope for his professional life ahead to be smooth sailing and not like 'a candle in the wind'!
