Tarana is a type of composition in Hindustani classical vocal music in which certain words (e.g. "odani", "todani", "tadeem" and "yalali") based on Persian and Arabic phonemes are rendered at a medium (madhya laya) or fast (drut laya) rate.

Tarana is basically a bandish based on a particular raag, which does not have any meaningful lyrics. Instead of lyrics, bols are sung. The main component of tarana is meer, the style which is usually copied from instrumental music of sarod, sitar or shehnai.

I have no idea about singing. Now I am 23 years old and have started singing just now. So is it the right decision?
Any age is good for music as long as you want to do it & have the time to practise. Then the music becomes a habit.
