    All these Ragas -Yaman, Kalyan and
    Bhairavi by flute should be heard in the late evenings or early morning.
    I prefer them late in the evenings and obviously. During those times even while listening to soundtracks, I can see 'masters'
    playing these instruments. Others can't see-but I will be in a trance -you see. That's why-I see.
    You have to live the 'joy of music' this way. After my sitting I too make some sounds resembling those from some instruments. Research is on in this matter.
    Imagine some holes in a 'wooden instrument'-You run your fingers over it-blowing air from an opening provided at the front and lo! Melodious symphony!
    All this you can think -only in the late evenings. I do,so I can comment.
    For all these articles not many comment...because they have not experienced it and at the right time with the right company.
    Hope all get the gist.
    Fabulous Pravin...May you enthrall millions many many times over.
