Mechanism of Monsoon.......

Monsoon is a tropical phenomenon. Indian subcontinent, lying northwards of the equator up to the Himalayas and Hindukush, lies primarily in the tropical zone of the Northern Hemisphere. It involves winds blowing from the south-west direction (known as South-West Monsoon) from the Indian Ocean onto the Indian landmass during the months of June through September. These are generally rain-bearing winds, blowing from sea to land, and bring rains to most parts of the subcontinent. They split into two branches, the Arabian Sea Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch near the southern-most end of the Indian Peninsula. They are eagerly awaited in most parts of India for their agricultural and economic importance.
Subsequently later in the year, around October, these winds reverse direction and start blowing from north-east direction. Given their land to sea flow, from subcontinent onto the Indian Ocean, they have less moisture and bring rain to only limited parts of India like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. This is known as the North-East Monsoon. However, this rain is responsible for the rice bowls of South India. This mechanism completes the annual Monsoon cycle of the Indian subcontinent.

[Uday2310]

@sanjay4178 Any such claim will be debated and contested, of course, but not many would dispute that he was the most influential classical musician of the era.

Panditji was influential because at least two generations of musicians wanted to be like him, and many innocently mimicked his style. He had grace and charisma in person and on stage.

Wow! :) What a BEAUTIFUL Video presentation of dreamy monsoon images, complementing an incredible, amazingly powerful Voice rendition ! :)

LOVE the image @ 0:56, & WOW! what a powerful thunder-like alaap Pt. Joshi sings @ 1:07 announcing that awesome thunder! :)

I sure LOVED the faster paced "drut laya" I love the taranas for too, right after that DREAMY image of that parked motorbike that had me transported beyond... in a monsoon picnic adventure! @14:16 :)

Truly, What a Superb presentation! :)

[RituPMToMusic2011]

Gosh! How fun is it to come back to this joyous monsoon raag again ! :)

Especially love choreographing spontaneous kathak (fusion :) dance/poses to my hearts' content after that lush green image I mentioned about from 14:16 when you'd just uploaded this about a month back. :)

Now I know what made me exclaim in delight earlier from my "ritupm" Music Home. Pt. Joshi's thunderous voice in perfect Sur makes for an awesome thrill to enjoy, if you especially love to dance, & love rain ! :)

Thank you so much for this audio-visual feast !

[purnimabarve]

Yes, thank you very much Udayji. That's the booming voice that has been carved in my memory, ears, heart and brain! That's the booming voice that fills all the corners of my mind and automatically brings tears to my eyes!! Once touched by it, how can one forget that voice? You just made my day! Your visual presentation is excellent. Matches the audio perfectly. Thank you a million times.

[climbeverest]

Thanks Uday2310!!! I love him and I hope there are many long videos and music clips of this legend!!

[NovaScotiaChick]

Usually I don't have much time for music clips that are sent to me. But...

I love ragas, so when I saw that word in the title, I figured I might as well listen.

Can't begin to explain what these 20 minutes meant to me at this time.

Sheer Providence.

Thank you.
