celebrations of life through various aspects, which is a beautiful feeling and
imagination.

Bhajan Sopori, Smt. Aparna Sopori, H.E. Mr. Larbi Moukhariq (Morocco Ambassador),

During the programme Abhay performed the song Anhad Baaje... from his album. He
looked quite pleased and excited with the album. He said this album is the first
step towards celebration of life, where the Santoor symbolizes the dew; the rhythm
symbolizes the dance of nature (Prakriti) and my voice symbolizes the life itself.
It is a very different album that tries to blend the traditional and contemporary
music. There are eight tracks. It's not a fusion album, rather a \"fusion of
expressions\" and can also be termed as \"celebration of life.\" The expressions are in
subtle ways.
Abhay further added, I am somewhat nostalgic about my childhood memories of Kashmir.
As a child, I remember, while going in a Shikara (boat), gliding through the
floating gardens of the serene Dal Lake, having seen the early dewdrops shimmering
on the lotus petals. While the sun is still hiding behind the mountain peaks, the
budding rays far away from the horizon with their reflection in the water and the
early morning breeze silently perambulating over the surface of the lake generate a
subtle wave. The wrinkle waves with a mild kiss to the lotus petals make the
dewdrops swing and dance. I hope I\'ll be able to provide audiences the best
entertainment through my album and they will definitely like it.
H.E Lt. Gen. (Retd.) S.K. Sinha launched the album and said Abhay is still very
young and in very short span of time he has achieved lots of success and fame. This
album of his is based on various aspects of life which are like celebrations. I hope
audience will like his efforts and this album will be a big hit.
On this occasion, Vani Tripathi said I have heard Abhay\'s album, which has the
freshness and touching feel. I\'ve came specially from Mumbai to attend the function,
because when Abhay told me that he\'s launching his album, I couldn't stop myself and
decided to come.
