A Musical Conversation

સંગીત🎼🎼 આ શબ્દ માં જ એટલી મધુરતા રહેલી છે કે કોઈ પણ એનાથી અલીપ્ત ના રહી શકે. હાલરડા રૂપે બાળપણથી જ આપણે સંકળાયેલાં છીયે, ક આજે આપણે સરવાળો લગાવીએ કે સંગીતે આપણને શું આપ્યું તો એનો હિસાબ મેળવવો મુશ્કેલ બને છે. પણ એ વાતને સ્વીકારવી રહી કે સંગીત આપણા જીવનમાં દિશાસૂચક તરીકેનું કામ કરે છે.

તો, આજે મારે વાત કરવી છે સંગીતની દુનિયામાં ઓતપ્રોત રહેલા એવા જ બે વ્યક્તિઓ #પ્રણવ મહેતા અને ડો. ભાવના અંધારિયા મેહતાની. ડૉ. ભાવના અંધારિયા ક જે અંકુર વિદ્યાલયમાં #મ્યુઝિક થેરાપીસ્ટ તરીકે ફરજ બજાવે છે અને બંને સારા લેખક અને સંગીત વિશારદ પણ છે.

#થોડી વાતો #થોડા ગીતો - એવા સમન્વયથી એક ખુબ જ સરસ અને રસપ્રદ કાર્યક્રમનું આયોજન ભાવનગર વિશ્વવિદ્યાલયના #અંગ્રેજી ભવન ખાતે કરવામાં આવ્યું હતું.
