Zubeen Garg is a household name in every Assamese home. His contribution to music is immense. He has brought Assamese music to great heights. He has made his mark not only in Assam but also all over India .  Among his innumerable fans , I count myself as one. His voice and his songs made me an ardent admirer of this “Ya Ali” fame. I consider myself fortunate for having witnessed a stage show of his when I was a student of standard 6. After that, till date I have never been able to make it to any if his live stage performances. Whenever I tell my woe of not being able to see not many stage shows of Zubeen  , all I got was snobbish and empty replies of people claiming to know him personally , meeting him in some pan shop of jorhat , or even attending his siblings wedding parties , and blah blah. But , till date not a single person has been able to make a rendezvous of mine with this genius of music.  As it is ,luck is an important factor in every sphere , maybe my luck will favour me sometime and I will get to meet Zubeen some day. What I like about his songs is that they are a blending of incidents taken from day to day life. For example ,the song “ Diya ghurai Diya” is a heart touching song , requesting all antisocial elements to return the happy world to us. “Mayabini raatir bukut” is a romantic song pertaining to any lover who is expressing his beloved what she means to him. “Kaar Parash” is another touching song . In the song “paakhi loga mone” from the album “ringa ringa mon” , the inclusion of  “eitu nu kar dol” and rojai hokum dise edim sedim bye” shows his closeness with the asomiya culture. My list of favourite Zubeen songs is endless. I wrote this blog to give vent to my feelings about the marvel Zubeen. If any of the readers feel , you can really arrange a rendevouz with zubeen (keep in mind , it should not be a myth J ) , do let me know.
