Revival of Spic Macay Chapter at IIM Calcutta by Flute Recital by Pandit Chaurasia Though most of the audience was probably un-initiated in the realm of Indian classical music, they remained spellbound and lost themselves in the aura of peace and unhurried calm that the melody created. What was a lesson for most of us through this recital of classical music was the patience and concentration that goes into the exploration and fine-tuning of a single alaap, over and over again. It was a very interactive session and Panditjee tried to engage the surprisingly quiet students by declaring a prize for the student who would be able to identify and sing a tune he played for a minute, correctly. But though one or two students tried naming it, none would venture forth to sing it. May be this was a wake-up call for us to remind ourselves that there is more to life than just books and the pursuit of wealth and fame. It was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of a rigorous academic life. We look forward to many such stimulating events organized by Spic Macay at IIM Calcutta. Concluded.
