The group of artistes were from different parts of the world and the performance was harmoniously blended with the artistes complementing each other on traditional Indian and Spanish musical instruments and melody.

The theme Traveller turned out to be perfect as the rhythm and mood created a “gypsy feeling” in the audience’s mind.

What made the concert more interesting was the way they took off from one style to another using musical instruments that were non-conventional to those styles they attempted.

Pin-drop silence was what we experienced at the huge auditorium of Emirates Palace, except for the magical sounds coming out from them.

It is true that music has no boundaries.

I could relate this pride of watching her perform live at Abu Dhabi when after the programme some guests leaving the auditorium mentioned, “I watched her dad perform 40 years ago in New York and now her in Abu Dhabi. Both bring the same sweet smile, calmness and ease of quality music out when they sit to perform.”

Contesting as a candidate for a literary post, I realised I had to be more socio-politically conscious along with my literary abilities if I have to venture again.

Although, the election was done by voting of members.

I realised that there were only very few who opted to utilise their voting rights. It made me think about our general cry for voting rights to be part of national constitutional formations.

What will happen, if majority refrain from their civic rights to elect a candidate by way of a vote.

My share of advice after this interesting event is, if given a choice to participate in such an activity, do not miss it and vote it right.

Also as a candidate, one should keep a winning attitude and strategy to see the race through with smiles.
