The chimes of Indo-Japanese friendship were pronounced well at the Blue Bells International School here at New Delhi. India and Japan are heralding their 60 years of diplomatic relations. The dignitaries included the presence of Mrs. Gursharan Kaur, wife of the Honorable Prime Minister of India and her Japanese counterpart. Vibrant colors, sonata and cherry faces further embellished the occasion.
Mr. Masahiro Nagira, Third Secretary, Japan Embassy, was also the Kapellmeister of the musical assortment. The coalition of taiko drums, tabla, shamisen, sitar, koto, tampura, fue flute, sarod and intercultural lyric emitted a democratic euphony. Mr. Nagira’s musical composition can be dissected into four parts. The first part is in Japanese which means, “I am flying to see you”. It is followed by the Hindi version welcoming the visitors. The third part is a fusion of traditional instruments and the fourth part is English which carries the message of singing hand in hand.
At the sundown, the gathering ascertained the value of “Vasudeva Kutumbakm” and the urgency for the world to actualize it.
