Ask anybody which musical instrument they would like to learn and chances are they’ll say the guitar. Hanging on the shoulder leisurely or wedged between the hands like a rockstar, the guitar never fails to cut a cool picture. And just a strum is enough to get listeners grooving.
Yes, we get the craze. However, the pandemic has thrown up another favourite. Sample this: Shivani Vijay, a 24-year-old from Bengaluru, can’t get enough of her ukelele - it looks like an acoustic guitar, albeit smaller. She bought it last September after quitting her IT job to pursue a hobby she had long nursed. In a month, she taught herself to play the laidback Kho gaye hum kahaan, followed by the whimsical Tum jab paas aati ho and the pensive Agar tum saath ho. Her mother likes to playback the classic Ajeeb daastan hai sometimes when Vijay plays the ukelele. Known for its warm, nimble, lilting sounds, the Hawaiian instrument has brought Vijay much cheer in these gloomy times.
