There are many teenagers, who make progress because of the drive of their strong internal power, sheer will and zeal, and through their ingenuous study and perseverance, but sometimes they fail taking right decision at the right time. It happens due to the lack of proper guidance. When they are frustrated in life, this mini book might be able to help them to some extent.
There may be plenty of first generation school goers, even in the 21st century, who are not fortunate enough in securing right guidance. There are many students, who have dreams, ambition, coveted desire and will power to excel, but no proper guide to progress.
This book will benefit those immature young minds, specifically the adolescent teenagers, who do not get proper and complete guidance from their parents, relatives, friends, peers, society; from the preaching of saints, reformers, counsellors or from the schools and the colleges during their study period of 10-15 years.
Sometimes the teenagers are shy of asking questions, presuming ‘what others will say/ think; for them my small book might work wonders.’
Every body deserves getting the valuable association of a friend, philosopher and guide in life, but it is very difficult finding a special someone as people with knowledge and wisdom have vested interests too.
This book has answers to many important questions of life.

Lūm comprises simple tonal movements unlike rāg bilāval. This raag might reflect the sentiments of raag tilak by my perception to sound different from other raags. Shade of gaund may reflect in its structure provided such tonal contour and gaund ang is not evident like gaund saa rang emphasising resting point on ma. The resting point on re is more acceptable than ga. Lūm basically uses all the śhuđđha/ major tones of bilāwal thaat, e. g. SRGMPDN/ CDEFGab with the rarest shade of komal ni. For writing about loom I got information from the recitals and works of Bimalakanta Roy Choudhury, Pt Amiyaranjan Bandyopadhyāy, recital of Warren Senders (he gave me the notated page of raag structure and bandish that received from the teaching of Dr Bimal Roy of Kolkata), Prosenjit Sengupta, and others. Grah-amsh-nyās: G/M-R-S Melodic centres and resting points are re, sā, pa for rāgdāri music. Sometimes ga is also treated as nyās and or melodic centre but mostly for semi classical or folk songs, e. g. barasan lāgi badariyā rumjhum ke (sung by Girija Devi, url https://youtu.be/A1DUnhUmeKE): GMGRSRNNS GGMGPM GRG.
