Previous weekend was an enjoyable experience specially when amateur singers like me get a first hand experience of Karaoke !!!
My sister ,Jiju and two andheri dons harshal and chinmay had come over the previous weekend to Pune and along with them they had brought this karaoke kit (jiju has this nack of exploring different things).It was a very fulfilling and enjoyable experience -interactive entertainment at its best.
On Sunday morning jiju opened this K .... kit and the electronics engg in him did some quick settings ...i helped him by closing the windows ,curtains and making the room sound proof.
2000 + songs -Hindi,Marathi,English and Punjabi were quickly scanned and jiju selected an old hindi track of Rafi------4321 and it all started -he sang like a pucca singer and scored 82 .
Next it was my turn again 2000+ songs were searched page by page and i selected Meri sanso mein basa hai from Aur pyar ho gaya......4321 cut 4321 cut .....meri sanso mein ...basa hain ..i was reading these lines then suddenly i started singing and again i went into the reading mode...people were laughing out their stomachs...but then i gradually got the rythum and finished on 72....not bad !!!
Now was the turn of my father ....67 yrs still young at heart and ready to perform he started and immidiately my sister went into the other room as she could not control any more ...i followed her and we both literally fell on the floor ...and then we came outside and he was still stuggling ...Jiju,my mother and kids were i think listening to a story called 'pal pal dil ke paas'...
He stopped abruptly realizing it was not his cup of tea- to our relief.
Then myslf and jiju continued with our amateur voices for almost 2hrs ----then we had a lunch break to continue till late in the afternoon...
Overall it was very thrilling experience ---vocal chords stretched.....voice controlled,breathing controlled ....a reasonable acoustic treat.
The entire kit only consisted of a microphone ...along with a pre-programmed software allowing us to select and play any song (minus the lead vocal).lyrics were displayed on the public address system with a moving symbol or changing colours as a backdrop.
Looking to forward to buy one and explore the bathroom singer in me....after those hectic office hours.
