This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

old letters
teardrops printed
here and there
***
a lone eyelash
pressed inside the
frayed folds of an old letter
childhood crush
***
words
still fragnant
of wild flowers
an untrodden mountain track
recalls the cuckoo’s song
***
mountain flute
the rapt attention of
a wandering deer
***
unbidden path
climbing up the majestic peaks
a novice monk’s tired soles
in search of God
***
young shepherd
blows the notes
into his flute
the old flautist
catches the tune
midair
jugalbandi

Jugalbandi refers to a duet performance in Indian classical music or dance, featuring two soloists (vocalists or instrumentalists) performing in a playful competition, mutual dialogue, and melodic interplay in harmonious pairing where both artists are equals, challenging each other’s creativity.









Early morning it seemed you took me on a journey from frayed folders of an old letter to mountains where I enjoyed the Jugalbandi.
Aap kay likhnay ka andaz👍
Have a pleasant day.
