THOSE WERE THE DAYS

  I, Satyendra Rahinwal rendered more than thirty years in service finally retired as a class I officer in the Department then known as Customs, Central Excise, and Service Tax. I completed my studies from the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur. Apart from my academic qualification  M.A. LL.B. I did SANGIT VISHARAD  known as Bachelor's degree in Music ( Tabla and Vocal )and also SANGIT BHUSHAN from  Govt .of Rajasthan.

My passion and hobby for  Music pushed me to be in love with Indra Saxena a junior Lecturer in music and a great singer which finally ended in the wedding node. We both are approved All India Radio artists and performed not only in the department but also in various states of India.

                                           THOSE WERE THE DAYS

When I shared the stage at Meharangarh fort of Jodhpur, with  His Highness Maharaja Shri Gaj Singh Ji of Jodhpur, Ustad Zakir Hussain, a tabla maestro, Ustad Sultan Khan, Sarangi maestro, and Ustad Sabir Khan, a Sarangi maestro.

This program was organised in the Open air at Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur in 2011 to celebrate 

                                                                   Presentation ceremony

This program was organised in the Open-air at Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur in 2011 to celebrate the birthday of Ustad Sultan Khan

                                                            Ustad Zakir Hussain

These memories have an evergreen vibe, an unforgettable moment, which I will always cherish throughout my life. It was one of my biggest pleasure to be one of the lacks music sense who could be present in your presence and cherish the entire show.

I will always love our music. Musicians are the biggest source of inspiration almost like legends to always remember. The world cannot forget a talented and strong reprehensive of music like all of you.

 Performing artistes are always God's gift to mankind. English playwright Shakespeare says that ' if music is the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it

  During the performance by the far most iconic, percussionist Tabla and Sarangi maestros in the world Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Sultan Khan, and Ustad Sabir Khan enthralled the classical music lovers of Jodhpur. Needless to say,  Ustad Zakir Hussain is not only a Tabla virtuoso but also a composer, percussionist, music producer, and actor. He has been awarded India's most prestigious Padam Bhushan award.

 Ustad Sultan Khan a Sarangi virtuoso enthralled the music lovers by singing his own composition ' Albela Sajan Aayo re' a very popular Hindi film song from  Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

 The duet performance of Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Sabir Khan mesmerized the entire audience and music lovers of Jodhpur.  

I may also mention that I have great memories of the Jagjit Singh night organized by me In 2011 in the open beautiful space of  Balsamand Palace, Jodhpur under the banner of "ANNUNAD," a musical Sanstha created by me and our central Excise department where not only District /Divisional level administration but members from the Judiciary also helped me organizing many successful music and Gazal Programmes.
