Enthooz - rehearsal in progress |
One of Team Miracle’s first activities was to
hold Music Programs at the Paraplegic Rehab Centre, Artificial Limb Centre or
at the Cancer Wards of hospitals. Nowadays, we have tie-ups with various
schools, and music and dance academies, who volunteer wonderful programs. But
it all started as an in-house family band – my husband Anup who plays the mouth
organ, his brother Amitabh on the guitar, his wife Neelima, and Art Based
Therapy practitioner who is a wizard on a variety of unusual instruments and
last but not least – Neeti Kaikini our vocalist, (whom we have nicknamed our
Nightingale because of her beautiful voice).
Fired by our enthusiasm for making music and
spreading cheer through music, Neeti has nicknamed us the ‘Enthooz’.
Our regular get-togethers at
Amitabh-Neelima’s home to rehearse our Golden Oldies songs are a real picnic.
Sometimes. Their kids Mohit and Shubha also join in – Mohit on the tabla, and Shobha
on the keyboards. And after the rigorous four-hour session, Neelu rewards us
with a scrumptious lunch (or dinner if it’s evening).
Now that’s a great reason to have a Music
get-together isn’t it?
