Through the lens of trigger-happy Nitin Patel

Here is from Nitin Patel's Harmonica Club of Gujarat portfolio:

zindagi hans ke bitayenge

Paresh Bhatia has been training scores of school children in harmonica playing. Some of his disciples like Aditya Chalishazar and Devansh Shah have turned out excellent players, drawing applaud from audience at public performance. Today, as part of Christmas celebrations, Paresh Bhatia and Aditya played this song by the side of the Parimal Garden lake.

Tribute to Dev Anand

The Harmonica Club of Gujarat paid tribute to ever green actor Dev Anand during their Sunday meet at Parimal Garden. All members played impromptu a song from Dev Sahab's film. Here are some videos:

hi chal turu turu

Kya chal hai aapki, bhai wah, maza aagaya....sings Sandip Patankar ( in public :- )

Group song

All time favorite song.

We all prefer to play this song in a group....

Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki.....

Every time one listens to this song, he would feel as if he is listening it for the first time.

So soothing, so pleasing, so Romantic, SO.....SO...... SO....

Please add your emotions and thoughts here...........in the comments box :-)

Dil tadap tadap : Devansh

We have seen Devansh growing up and maturing as a musician. And all of us give credit to his parents for promoting his interest in different musical instruments.

This was His first acid test of playing keyboard and providing the rhythm to the members in a public performance.

And he did it successfully just like this song he played.....

Dum maro dum : Mihir Chalishazar

Ladies and gentlemen hold your breath, we are introducing our young member Mihir Chalishazar.

Mihir influenced by Aditya, his elder brother, wanted to be a percussionist.

He has been given the duty to arrange the songs, their karaoke tracks, make list of the participants and play accordingly in the program.

Slowly but steadily he is getting into real hard job- playing harmonica...

Please enjoy !!!

Chho kar sab ke man ko : Bansi Gujjar

Bansikaka a very very large hearted person in the HCG, played this song.

One of the most dedicated members of the club...........

On every Sunday, all of us wait for Bansikaka to come with his water bag, the water that he brings is very motivating and energetic.

Next Sunday we will be practicing in Parimal at 9:30 AM...Please reach early, Bansikaka just called me and informed that he has replaced his big size water bag with a very small one ;-)

Hai Apna Dil To Awara

Sandip Patankar, Chandramohan Bahadkar and Manohar Vaidya, played this all time favorite song.

Immediately after the first song Jaya Stute, the trustees of the Vanikar Hall , arranged a short Pooja. We offered flowers at the lotus feet of Lord Ganesha and Maa Saraswati.

Vanikar Hall is located in the center of Ahmedabad. This area is known for the Lord Ganesha Temple.

Jaya Stute

Sandip Patankar, also known as Ice cream uncle, started the program with a marathi song Jaya Stute. This song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

All the members of HCG specially thank Devansh for the extra ordinary support on key board. He accompanied by playing the chords and soft rhythm.

sweet memories

We the members of HCG were fortunate to have two celebrities during our practice session at Chakshul Pandya's house.

Shri Madan kumarji and Nitinbhai Patel from UK. Nitinbhai with his professional camera captured a few unforgettable moments.

The good Boys

During their college days, both these good boys used to compete, as who would first play this beautiful song.
I do not know , for whom they wanted to play ............................
On the screen, the left one is very notorious, hard to control and the right one , totally opposite...
This is the HCG.

Belly dance

I just noticed my big tummy moving in Jalebi Direction while playing this song. Now I can understand why the audience asked me to play the same song one more time. They really liked the belly dance , more than my playing.......
Anyway it is nice to see the rhythmic movement of Big Belly....enjoy and try the same style, People will love it !!!!!
Jiski Tummy badi, uska bhi bada nam hai, bistar pe letado gadde ka kya kam hai :-)

Tu jaane na

Aditya and Devansh on karaoke track.

Lakho hai yahan dilwale

Yogesh Bhatt, Manohar Vaidya and Sandip Patankar.

piya piya piya

Aditya, Bansi Gujjar, Manohar Vaidya and Devansh.

Ajeeb Dasta hai ye

Yogesh Bhatt and Manohar Vaidya.

Maang ke saath tumhara

Little wonder Aditya and Guru Vaidyaji played this lovely song. Aditya is coming up as a very matured player. His main choice of songs is the all time favorite old and golden melodious songs. We have to congratulate and thank Aditya's parents for their continuous encouragement.
His younger brother Mihir is the youngest member of HCG. He is the official DJ of our club. We all dance and play, only at his mercy.

Suhani raat ...tum kab aaoge

When Yogesh Bhatt and Manohar Vaidya played this melodious song, we could see the audience totally being carried away. The music lovers started singing the song along with the performers.
Due to certain technical errors at my end I am not able to trim the videos properly from the entire cd. So pl bear with the incomplete videos.
