Tarana's 4th Show – 29th August 2009
Tarana's Fourth Show is Entitled as 'Rainbow Show' as we are going to deliver songs on Rains this time। The reason behind entitling it as 'Rainbow' is - we are covering large variety of Hindi film songs in this show. A special Gujarati song written by Ramesh Parekh and composed by Janmejay Vaidya is also included in this show.

Third show was also house pack. We presented songs of five lyricists
Sahir Ludhiyanvi
Hasrat Jaipuri
Majrooh Sultanpuri
Kaifi Azmi
Shailendra Singh
This show was anchored by Bhavesh N. Pattni and Bijal Bhatt.
Bhavesh played Sahir's famous poem Kabhi Kabhi in the voices of Sahir Lundhiyanvi and Amitabh Bachchan. Majrooh Sultanpuri and Kaifi Azmi's voice files were also played. This was a surprise to the audience and everyone was wondering how Bhavesh could have this in his collection!
Biggest surprise of this show was, all the singers sang on Karaoke Tracks! This was an achievement indeed.
Tarana's 2nd Show - 24th December 2008
तराना - हमारी याद आयेगी
दूसरा शो
On December 24th, 1924 Great Singer Mohmmad Rafi was born. We normally decide on the dates based on Numerology and Astrology. In 2nd show, we presented songs of four music directors.
Anil Biswas
C. Ramchandra (Chitalkar)
Hemant Kumar
S.D. Burman
It was a super duper hit show with live musicians। Jay Vohra was on Tabla and Bhupendra Barot played the Key Board.
Bhavesh is very much fond of Classical Singer Ustad Amir Khan Saheb and used to listen to Taranas sung by him and Gokulotsav Maharaj very regularly. On 5th December 2008, Bhavesh went to Sahitya Parishad to book the hall and they said 'We will need your application on official letterhead, with the name of your group'.
In five minutes Bhavesh created the letterhead with a nice logo and named the Group Tarana. Like Taranas written by Amir Khusru are highly remembered only by staunch music lovers and followers of the classical music trend, it was good to give subtitle to Tarana – Recalling the lost Music.

This was a small story of overture, how Tarana Started.
तराना - हमारी याद आएगीFirst show was in the form of an informal yet professionally designed and presented 'Baithak' at Nikhilbhai and Vibhutiben Bakshi's Bungalow in Sterling City, Bopal, Ahmedabad. It was 2nd August 2008, Saturday.
Janmejaybhai and Bhavesh made a list of about 38 songs and presented for 4 hours and 45 min. at a stretch. It would not have been possible without 25 invitees in this show. This show was highly informal yet with proper anchoring and Rishin on Tabla. Microphones attached with the Audio System gave us a very good feel of live performance in a hall.
Next day, Bhavesh and Janmejaybhai started receiving phone calls from all the relatives that 'O we have heard that you've done a wonderful 'Baithak', we missed it, if you arrange any such show next time, kindly inform us'.
Bhavesh and Janmejaybhai discussed these feedbacks and with their respective backbones Neeta and Kaminiben, decided to have a well rehearsed show at Sahitya Parishad's hall, which was and is the cheapest yet best.
Janmejaybhai Vaidya is a wonderful composer and singer himself so he takes care of Music Part of the show and Bhavesh handles Scripting and Anchoring.
