A teacher and his student
Leonardo Da Vinci said of his pupils-they are my creations.
Here, in this video-Mumbai art teacher and musician
sings and plays the guitar
Maben Oswald
I first heard of Maben Sir through the letters I used
to get from India.
He has toiled with my son for 3 years.
But on talking to him, I came to know the many facets
of this wonderful human being.
Left a 5 star Manager Job-For his love for music
His father called him 'crazy', relatives and friends
'counselled' him, but he gave up a promising career
in the Hotel industry for his first love-Music
Not many of us have the guts to follow our dreams
in this manner.
Many Salutes
The Digital Revolution
With the digital revolution, the virtual studio came
in and many promising musicians were booted out of the
Bollywood music industry. Maben was one of them.
But he held on
In parties, clubs, church concerts, Teaching school children
his art and passion.
The Song
Rim Jhim Gire Saawan
Movie:Manzil
Year:1979
Lyrics:Yogesh
Singer:Kishore Kumar
Music Director:R.D.Burman
Roughly translated
Rim jhim gire Sawan, sulag sulag jaaye man
Bheege aaj is mausam mein, lagi kaisi ye agan
In this rainy season, my mind burns
How this fire, in this wet season
Jab Ghunghroo Si Bajti hein Boondein
Armaan Humaare Palake na moondein
When the Rain drops sound their music
My visions and aspirations soar.
Creations
Maben has created many musicians
He sings and plays with the heart.
