Note that the video has nothing to do with Karunesh’s Composition. It’s a mix of his music with some video by some Youtube user. Anyway, the video is nice and pictures a north Indian (probably, Punjabi) Girl and father.

Chaplin once said he cries in rain so that no one seems him crying (a painful remark by a person who made the world laugh). But rain not only masks your tears but also soothes your heart. The best way to dissolve a dumb-struck heart is to drench yourself in rain (Mido! don’t laugh at me; I know I sound nuts but still…) and let the rain wash your tears. I find Return of the Rains reflecting this mood and nature of rain.

This track is one of the 8 tracks of the Joy of Life (ya Mido, dont you sense some irony here; I mean a sad mood rain in ‘Joy’ of life?. It happens!) Dominant instruments of the track are string and flute and they leave a lasting impression. If you ever wondered at what the song of the Solitary Reaper sounds like (oh! that crazy Wordsworth was too much obsessed with her music) you could listen to this song.

Mido, just imagine this situation. How angry you’d be if the beauty of your beloved is distorted by some wannabe fashion designer! If you ask me, I’d attempt-torture that designer in a boiling oil well, at least, in my dream. If you could feel that anguish and wrath, you could understand my pain over Bombay Pure murder by Assam.

Am I confusing you, my Mido? Let me explain you how this staright away. Bombay Pure is one of my favorite tracks by Karunesh. It is featured in his album Global Spirit. Such a beautiful song is this that I found solace during every hardest time listening to this music. Naturally, as you might guess, Mido, I developed a kind of affection and love to the track, the singer (whom I couldn’t identify, any help appreciated!) and the composer Karunesh.

Just a week back, I bought Kali Thunder by James Asher. This album features the track Assam, remix of Bombay Pure, though not acknowledged. I hope you understand my concern now. Assam is a wannabe-fashion designer’s massacre of my beloved classic beauty Bombay Pure. As a remix, it doesn’t add any beauty to the existing, rather kills it. The drum beats are hard and noisy. The vocal itself is unsuccessfully experimented by noisely repeating few lines. I checked my player for malfunctioning only to discover it was how the track is composed. Mido, I really feel much and write this post. I am writing to mourn the death of Bombay Pure in Asher’s hand. If you have heard this album, I suggest you to listen to Karunesh’s Bombay Pure

I’m not underestimating Asher’s talent. For those ardent fans of Asher, who pounce on me, let me say this: I too have listened and enjoyed his other albums…. I look upon him in awe for what he’s capable of doing with his percussion. But I’d have better kept my comments digestible if he hasn’t distorted the beauty by his percussion where it doesn’t seem least fit.

Discography of Karunesh features some 18 albums and I’ve listened to most of them. All these albums can be grouped under two: “Dig your passion” and “Be Compassionate.” Zen Breakfast comes in the territory of “Be compassionate”. This music is soft with no metal or acoustics. It’s a kinda foil to his debut “Dig your Passion” album: Global Spirit. I’ll be writing about this album very soon, so Mido stay tuned.

While you can listen to Karunesh album or any other album for that matter lying down on your comfortable bed, Zen Breakfast is best enjoyed in open space. After all Zen is all about opening doors and coming out of walls. Play the album loud enough to be heard outrside your music room, go out into your garden(if you have one) or open space and have your (Zen) Breakfast, get lost in music. Though titled Breakfast, the album can very well be good at Dinner. Listening to this music while gazing at moon and stars at night have always given me pleasant experience.
