By Shailesh Upreti from New jersy

Hi Dagariyoo Pailaag n namaskar. finally all 3 intellectual-celebrities of Dev-Bhumi rocked the theth pahari gala show, I am wordless to express their contribution towards the social, cultural and literature enlistment been put on screen to emulate our lovely state Uttarakhand, whenever I listen them, I always find a new-fangled, in-depth and extra pioneering contents. As usual Prof. Sekhar Pathak Ji was typically superb at his pleasant pouring and the same time Jugalbandi too. Silde show on AAA (askote arakote abhiyan) was an unmatched combination of old and contemporary issues, which was sensibly been put in and logically been elaborated by Prof Sekhar Pathak, I was amazed to look at the critical issues been popped up and compared during last four AAA (1974, 1984, 1994 and 2004). I am very thankful to Dangi Jew, he was the one who introduced me with such a remarkable Jugalbandi first time ever in Noida. I loved it like anything, compositions like JAINTA EK DINAOO TO ALOO U DIN YOO DUNI MI (frm Girda) and UNCH PAHAD BATI NIS GANGAAD BATI SCHOOL DAFTAR GAON BAJAAR BATI HITAN LAGYASAN>>>BHULA KAKH JANA CHA TUM LOOG UTTARAKHAND ANDOLAN MAA (frm NARENDRA BHAIJI) were ultimate and worth to listen in the  remembrance of Uttarakhand Andolan martyrs. This unusual and synchronized set of triple-brain came here all the way from Pahad in the form of an informative and knowledgably Punturi  and brought us an exclusive blend of philosophy, geography, history, old and existing social issues, along with rocking folk stuff. This Punturi, of course was a coherent reflection of our contemporary pahad, that too in real mean. I personally salute you all who have devoted most of their life to work for our small yet lovely state. In addition hats off to all UANA organizers (respected Deepak Dajew, Vijay Dajew and Boji, Pushp Boji, Diwesh Dajew, Deep Bhaiji, Anand Bhaiji, Rajeev Dajew, Matbar Dajew, Tarun Bhaiji, Manoj Bhaiji, Amit Bhaiji, and all).
