Nash, A Sarod and wet earth …

Is equal to bliss. Here I am, sitting in my room all alone working on some fundoo stuff on the famous Nash equilibrium late in the night. Giving me company is Ustad Amjad Ali Khan on the sarod with his mellifluous music.

It’s raining outside, and the scent of wet earth wafts in like the perfume of a beautiful woman. A pea hen coos in the background. I’m reminded of a phrase attributed to Jehangir, which he exclaimed in the Mughal gardens of Kashmir :

Agar firdaus bar roe zamminast,
hamminasto hamminasto hamminast !

(If there is paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!). Thank you my Lord.
