The heat was terrible. Lying in the room, I felt hot air blown around by the fan, stinging my eyes. Water, and showering every couple of hours is the only way I can think to get through these long, hot days.I’ve been listening to Mehboob Ali Shah sahib’s Sindhi recordings of the script and created a phonetic version of the Sindhi script in Urdu. The letters in Sindhi and Urdu vary as do their sounds, so this is a good, though laborious way, for me to follow along with the singers to make sure no words are skipped and that words are correctly pronounced. I’m making note of where each Sindhi verse falls in the audio file, so I that I can play back that bit as needed during the recording process to aid the musicians.
