Sitar
Sitar The sitar (English: /ˈsɪtɑːr/ or /sɪˈtɑːr/; सितार, Punjabi: ਸਿਤਾਰ, sitāra pronounced [sɪˈtaːr]) is a plucked stringed instrument, originating from the Indian subcontinent, used in Hindustani classical music. The instrument was invented in medieval India and flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries and arrived at its present form in 18th-century India. Used widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, the sitar became popularly known in the wider world through the works of Ravi Shankar, beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s.[1] In the 1960s, a short-lived trend arose for the use of the sitar in Western popular music, with the instrument appearing on tracks by bands such as The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Metallica and others.

Nagkakakilala lang kami dahil sa nakaaway ko sya noon dahil madumi yung pagwasto nya sa papel ko. Oo, maniwala man kayo o hindi, diyan talaga kami nagkakilala. Nagkaayos naman kami, at naging kaibigan ko na sya. Iniimbita niya kami kapag may nag-birthday sa pamilya nya. At iniimbita ko rin siya sa birthday ko. Masaya talaga kami noon. Pumapasyal kami kasama pamilya niya. Nag-bowling, swimming, at marami pa kaming ginawa kasama nila. Malapit talaga kaming magkakaibigan. Malapit rin and aming mga pamilya sa isa't isa. Marami akong natutunan sa kanya, tulad ng pagiging "open" sa iba't ibang mga tao. Noon kasi...
