Notes
My Dada’s nickname was “Sarabhai,” which is Gujarati for "Good Brother." With his death this year, his name took on a new meaning: good farmer of his land in Ghayaj, good storyteller to his friends and strangers, good teacher to his three children and seven grandchildren, good husband to his wife and best friend of over 50 years, and, most importantly, good to his beliefs.
The mix has four parts, each reflecting upon my grandfather's journey and, ultimately, the divine spirit of India.

a very nice mix, and your description made me remember my grandfather who left us a few years back
⃠earspace_monopoly April 12, 2013
Thanks! Music takes me to a place of catharsis, which in this case helped me organize the spoken and unspoken memories of my Dada. I hope you were also able to transform your loss into something positive.
