Those sounds of Ghungru...

I was looking around for kathak classes in Pune for long. Came to know of some, but they were far placed. Yesterday, I put an effort and went to the most famous one - in Deccan. Reached the Poona Coffee house in front of the Deccan Bus-stand. It was rainy. Was quite tired of driving till there after office, and was wondering where it can be near such a place. And... I heard those beautiful sounds. The sounds of ghungru being played in rhythm. Something happened! All the tiredness vanished. I was elated and moving in direction of the sounds. I climbed the stairs and reached the room. Yes! that was the place. I was quite happy, thinking that the effort was worth it...
But, the caretaker there turned me down... saying it was the class for seniors. I have to come again the next day to enquire about the classes. Came down quite dissapointed. Called up the classes in Bund Garden and confirmed that I will be joining them. And, earlier, I was not able to decide this since weeks...
