Sometimes you wished you were a painter, at times it comes outright that a musician is what you should be. When you are on road, the hot dusty wind brushes against your hair, spreading the star filled galaxy around your neck like a stretch of blue sky. Your Ajrakh stole with its symbolic motifs holds a pocketful of sky in itself. With the warmth of traditional fabric around your neck and the softness of natural colors, it feels gifted to be you.
