Music and me

    Well, I must give credit to Rishkul for having written about it first which made me write today after having wanted to for months now :D.

Music..the word is enough to transport you into a different world altogether. To make you feel the emotions that you may not have reason to feel in your life but the music will make you do so. The lifting of spirits in a world where not but music seems to be around you. Music is as impactful as people. It can make you happy when you're sad, it can make you cry even when you're happy.

 Yesterday I had this long talk about how I've been exposed to music all my life. No, I lived in music my whole life. From my dad singing carnatic songs as a lullaby ever since I was born till I was almost 7. The days we had audio cassettes my mom used to carry my sister and hold the hand of 4 year old me ,Billy Joel,Lionel Richie playing loud, my mom used to dance with us, which is why I started loving pop of those times. Dad on sundays played those songs of Pink Floyd which used to sound scary then (I meant the is anybody out there :P) along with Queen,The Police and of course ABBA,Beegees ,Boney M topped the list. These songs weren't the ones which I loved so much then cuz I used to get bored of the songs which I hadn't heard often. But still, I absorbed everything I heard to love them years after I first heard them.

Music sort of grows on you. Whatever kind it may be. It enchants, enriches, invigorates.You don't need to have a natural liking to music. Listening to any kind a couple of times will make u like it. Just observe, you always tend to have the songs you hate the most running at the back of your head and at some point you start appreciating parts of it. (Although I make sure I don't listen to those songs anywhere for fear that this might happen :P )

Also, there is this sort of a connect between musicians, singers and instrument players alike. These musicians that we admire are mostly people who live on music and are crazy about it which is so evident when they are a part of it. And when two combine to be a part of a melody, oh, that connect is so visible and amazing, its almost like you're listening to 2 people who are trying to explain a point in their own way with their own mannerisms and yet the point strikes you as one and you have understood it because those 2 points of view made you appreciate the very point.

The following video,the part after 5.00 minutes will make you understand what I mean. I mean these people love doing this. Its the best career they could have asked for, doing what they love, doing what they live for, doing what would never trouble them in the slightest, I can go on and on. Accepted, reaching this point is not easy, you have to be the best in thousands and prove that to the right people.. Whatever, these guys are living a good life and we get to hear good music. :P

Even a bigger joy is to be someone who can create this music for others and of course your own self to listen and love. When it sounds as sweet from your own voice or hands. For me, after 10 years of resigning to fate that I would never be someone who I myself would listen to singing, in spite of the fact I sang all these years listening to the original song in my head, I finally started finding some melody in my own voice. Hopefully it will turn into bliss one day...all this thanks to my music teacher really!


I have always wondered why I have never been able to write about music which is ingrained in me and something I cannot dream of living without. I guess I found the answer in my question. Somethings are just precious and felt, words can do no justice to how they actually feel.

Music is an ecstasy is so good to be true and yet it is one which will last for eternity. It never can disappoint and never will. Happiness personified rather content personified is what music makes you.

So make sure music is your companion wherever you go. Life will be a beautiful symphony making you appreciate every note that has gone into making it one. :D

P.S. I still don't feel this post explains totally how much I'm mad about music.. but I guess you get the point :P

And the new year again

 And its the beginning of yet another year. This one is gonna be a phenomenal one, I feel. The start was amazing with people who I totally love. Started the year with a different perspective. Much different compared to the last new year. Childish I feel when I see it, but don't we all? :P

And I turn 20, nah, not nice.


Also, there are 4-5 posts in the pipeline which I keep thinking about the whole day but when I come home, I type only a few lines in each of the posts rendering all of them useless to be posted. But this blog will come up with a nice post soon, I promise and hopefully one before I leave for the IV.

Yes, this particular post is absolutely useless but leaving the blog not updated on new year was something I so did not want to do.

So, there I go, penned on the new year hoping the tradition continues throughout the year.

Wishing everyone a great year ahead :)
