Wah wah sir

[@jayantdate]

I heard Harmeet Virdeeji for the first time. Bahot hi sunder. Agar bura na mano to ek suggestion hai. Sitar ki Javari me agar thodi improvement karo to Sitar ke swar ko depth milegi aur is ki vajah se ek theharav aayega. Lekin iske liye aapko Bharat desh me programme bajane honge. Chaggarji ne bhi kamal ki sangat ki hai. God bless both of you. Raag ka Naam bhi Caption me likhna chahiye. Thank you. .
