sitarist jay (drabble)

genre: fluff

pairing: jay x gn south asian!reader

word count: 610

warnings: none

A/N: in honor of all the holidays coming up (holi, vaisakhi, ramadan/eid, etc.), AND also my srk x jay post that sparked desi enha discourse, this one goes out to all my desi engenes!!!! 🫶🏼 happy holi!!!! happy vaisakhi a month in advance. and a ramadan mubarak to those who celebrate.

soft desi engene hours. could u just IMAGINE sitarist!jay and dholi!you!?!??? 🥺

jay is grateful to have a lover who hails from such a gorgeous, rich culture that spans millennia. and as any connoisseur of culture would say - music isn’t just part of culture….it is culture. he’s been playing guitar for many years now. and he wants to venture out into other stringed instruments. and what better way than learning the sitar?

jay enjoys the calming, soulful, and twangy sound of the sitar. it sends him into a trance and he feels completely immersed in a different world. despite it being “different” from what he’s done before, he believes that the language of music is universal - one felt within the heart first and foremost.

he holds a deep reverence for south asian music. be it nusrat fateh ali khan, kishore kumar, mohammed rafi, noor jehan, or asha bhosle, he feels the timeless, evergreen spirit of such compositions pulse within his soul.

watching him learn the sitar is an endearing sight. ethereal even! seeing the level of dedication he has towards mastering such an art form warms your heart. he wants to learn bhajans, shabads, and ghazals for you. all he wants in life is to express his love for you through music. just chillin’ in his kurtas with the sleeves rolled up and his sitar by his side, showing you the ravi shankar songs he’s learned so far.

on the other hand, he too admires you for your passion for percussion. jay loves your appreciation towards the different types of dhol. he fawns over the euphoric feeling you get when hitting every thappi and tiparu and the way you chant your DHAs and DHINs while doing so. jay also appreciates the way you treat your dagga and tilli sticks like they’re your babies. he loves the swingy sound of dhol beats and the swagger you exude while you play.

jay sometimes gets annoyed when you pester him with the sound of your loud ass dhol while he’s peacefully and calmly practicing his sitar. but he knows it’s out of love and good fun. it’s the desi equivalent of the percussionist kids in band disrupting the ones who play the wind and brass instruments. antics aside, jay appreciates the lively spirit and camaraderie that comes with these musical clashes, cherishing the shared moments of cultural exchange and musical banter.

in the end, these musical escapades become cherished memories, shaping jay’s musical journey with a touch of spontaneity and joy. the blend of dhol and sitar, once seemingly contrasting, transforms into a celebration of diversity within your shared love for music. as the two of you continue your artistic pursuits, jay realizes that the moments of lighthearted banter and cultural exchange have added a special rhythm to the soundtrack of your relationship - one of seismic adoration.

with each note played and every shared laugh echoing in the air, jay acknowledges that your artistic pursuits have not only strengthened your musical connection with each other, but have also deepened your bond with him. the rhythm of seismic adoration encompasses the highs and lows, much like the crescendos and decrescendos in your collaborative performances. through the language of music, your relationship thrives, creating a symphony of understanding, support, and shared passion that resonates far beyond the notes of your instruments.

#enhypen imagines #enhypen fluff #jay fluff #enhypen soft hours #enhypen hard hours #happy holi my loves! 🥹 #xoxo heidi ♡ #soft hours with heidi ♡ #been meaning to post this for a while now…but holi rehearsals + work and other commitments have been CRRAAAZZYYYYY😵‍💫 #glad I could finally post it daahhlliingggsss

MileApo x Dior Gateway to India Press

Featured in the New York Times (text mention):

In the Associated Press:

Western celebrities of Indian origin or descent — like Freida Pinto, Simone Ashley of “Bridgerton”, sitarist Anoushka Shankar and Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones — took in the show. Other guests included actor Maisie Williams from “Game of Thrones” and Thai actors Mile and Apo from “KinnPorsche.”

In GQ India (twitter/IG post)

Via their website:

Among global celebrities, Thai superstars Phakphum Romsaithong and Nattawin Wattanagitiphat created an unprecedented stir. They were greeted by a massive legion of local fans, who lined the streets of Colaba, screaming their names and holding up posters.

In the Indian newspaper The Hindu

In Rediff:

In Hello! Magazine India:

While not new to anyone familiar with the world of BL dramas that has only expanded since the pandemic, Mile and Apo sparked a curiosity in many, especially because of the grand welcome they received at the Mumbai airport, with fans queuing up for hours to catch a glimpse of the stars, and the interest they garnered online despite being surrounded by some of the biggest names in the fashion and entertainment industry.

So who are Mile and Apo?

Mile Phakphum Romsaithong and Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat are actors from Thailand, most popular for their roles as Kinn and Porsche in the hugely successful BL series KinnPorsche (2022).

The success of KinnPorsche catapulted the actors into global stardom with a fandom that expanded across the globe, as evidenced by the warm welcome they received by hundreds of fans in Mumbai. Aside from collecting awards and covers of all top magazines in the country, the main lead actors from the drama also scored a coveted Dior ambassadorship that led them to be invited for the label’s pre-fall 2023 ready-to-wear showcase in Mumbai recently.

(wait really?! did Hello jump the gun and leak that information before it was meant to be released, or maybe they misunderstood, or is that how we're gonna find out???)

By the French Embassy in India:

Mile in Badhombre, a Spanish publication, in their best dressed of the week. (the difference is in the details) this is a sign I need to shut up about how I think Dior is ugly I guess...

And of course many of the usual places that have now been covering them like Harper's Bazaar SG (Thank you Kenneth Goh), Vogue Thailand, Vogue HK, and Dior directly on their IG and Twitter accounts.

Our babies are huge big stars 🥺 New York Times!!!

Nicolas Mortelmans - MĀYĀ - Indo-jazz fusion from Belgian sitarist & band

Nicolas Mortelmans is a passionate sitar player and multi-instrumentalist from Antwerp, Belgium. Nicolas is a fusion sitar player and student of Indian classical music. In 2010, he bought his first sitar and left for India. He fell in love with the mystical sounds of the sitar and immersed himself in it. For the next 7 years, he went to India every winter to study the traditional way with different sitar masters. Since 2017, he has been trained by the world-renowned Anoushka Shankar. Live, Nicolas plays an electric sitar with which he tries to build a bridge between his recent love for Indian music and his roots in rock, jazz and electronica. Nicolas has an open mind and literally any musical style or tradition can inspire him. His concerts can be both meditative and explosive. MĀYĀ is his debut album as a leader of his own band. Musicians: Nicolas Mortelmans (electric & acoustic sitar, tanpura) Tarang Poddar (tabla&vocals) Ravichandra Kulur (flute) Benny Bettane (handpan) Joeri Wens (tombak) Jonas Meersmans (guitar) Roland van Campenhout (guitar) Stef Kamil Carlens (bass) Tim Vanhamel (guitar) Simon Segers (drums) Surya (vocals) Artwork & Graphic Designy by Pieter Pan.

From the moment people started subscribing to me, I decided to post at least something to my account (People, from which moon did you fall, since you are interested in my account?)

Well. Do you want content? Will be.

I'll start posting my collages. The first collage is dedicated to my character Willow. Willow the forest dragon, an avant-garde artist and part-time best friend of the Night (real name Khamsin). She is naughty, likes to get into adventures (Khamsin always covered up all traces of their crimes after her!)

I also think she would have liked the pop group ABBA. ("Chiquitita" makes such good sense). And I forgot - Her prototype was Joanna Stingray.

The second collage is dedicated to the Night/Khamsin. He is stormy, and is defective among the tribe because of his gray scales. Introverted, communicates very briefly. He can "knit constellations". A twist for the Inside Out. A hippie and a sitarist, he is fond of Indian themes in principle (I think he could be a Krishnaite!). He loves rock band The Beatles and Kino. Favorite Beatles - John Lennon and George Harrison, as well as Viktor Tsoi.

If you are interested in me - I am very glad!!! I was advised to publish my work at least somewhere to cope with creative burnout (I decided on it for a long time, paranoia about school sends you my fervent greetings). If you have any questions - ask, I'm glad to answer.

George Harrison with Ravi Shankar, Alla Rakah, Bismillah Khan, and Ali Akbar Khan, backstage at the Hollywood Bowl on 4 August 1967; photo by Eric Hayes, courtesy of erichayes.ca.

“Beatle George Harrison flew in from England recently to attend Ravi Shankar’s Hollywood Bowl concert on Friday, August 4. During a press conference held at Shankar’s Kinnara School of Music in Los Angeles, Harrison lauded the sitar playing of maestro Shankar for the benefit of numerous newsmen, photographers and newsreels.” - Cash Box, 19 August 1967

“I want to learn a little Indian music and use it in our medium, but I’m not an expert sitar player. If I could sit down and play sitar properly I would. I don’t expect to be a brilliant sitarist. I would have to concentrate on playing sitar, but there are so many other things to do, and I want to do them.” - George Harrison, KRLA Beat, September 1967

“Personally, I think Indian music is where it’s at. If I had to choose one record in the whole world, I’d select Bismillah Khan, and that’s it.” - George Harrison, India Today, December 1976 (x)

Geethali Norah Jones Shankar

Picture 1: Jones, Ravi Shankar, and her 1/2 sister, Anoushka.

Norah, Anoushka, and Ravi’s wife at his memorial.

Norah and Anoushka with matching tattoos. 

Banned by her mother until age 18, Norah Jones was able to visit her father, Ravi Shankar, after she became an adult. 

Norah (reportedly) questioned Ravi: ‘fuck The Beatles, tell me about John Coltrane.’  Norah obviously understands context. 

Many have given Ravi Shankar the title as the Greatest Musician of the 20th Century, which has legitimacy, but ultimately is impossible to determine. I don’t think he is the best sitarist, that falls to Nikhil Banerjee in my opinion, but best sitarist and best musician are two different things.
