"IT" CHANGED ME

i was taken aback when IT came to me
i didn't know my questions had set it free
there i stood in front of the colossal IT..
the truth was shown like a deep wound slit..
the time had come to make a choice
it chose to tell me with my attention on price
i came to know with a painful start
a shattered soul was more agonising than a broken heart
i came to know that a truth not fought
is more sinful than an injustice "bought"
i was appalled to know how the needy face apathy
irony is,its shown by the so called "SOCIETY"
i knew what it takes to give something to someone in need though you have nothing to choose
when all they can give you is a smile though that heart has an indellible deep bruise
IT showed me what resilience was through the eyes of the people who lost their loved ones in a tragic way
when i was down thinking what i lost in a paltry insatiable fray
i learnt what love,relations and happiness meant
when IT showed me how i grew 'cause of them as the time went
IT taught me the value of loved ones and not to lose a chance to tell them how much they mean to you......
'cause no sacrifice can ever make you live twice and the ticking seconds just go by to leave a few......
just the way how day wins generously over night and how the cloud is vanquished by the sunshine
"hope,faith and will' will win over any ruction..let they be yours or mine...
i learnt that that all it takes to be happy is "satisfaction"
and only your interest will lead to its resurrection..

it was worth a lesson learnt at a simple price ..
IT made me happier,content and wise...

do you want to know who was it i questioned???



"I questioned........LIFE..."

MUSIC-THE PERFECT TRANQUILITY

This is my first tryst with a writing of my thoughts on..........."MUSIC"....for me,music is an amalgamation of experiences with nature and the inventory genius of the human mind.........
To start with,i trace back my fascination for music when i was a kid wearing polka dotted frocks and and finding my contentment in wearing my socks right:P......i still remember it like it happened yesterday,my "paati"[grandma]playing the violin for me on one summer afternoon...it was transcendental....i was lost in the rich notes of carnatic music.......mesmerising symphony......i was overpowered with an immense feeling of intervention...i knew IT was for me.......then we came back home after our vacation..and i started going for music classes...as a kid i was never interested in singing the way my sir wanted me to...my dogma was simple-i wanted to sing my tune!i wanted to train my voice but never wanted to surrender it...and i do not regret doing it....i feel,when the voice connects with the notes of music,it casts a spell..it reveals the secrets of music...and the song becomes a manifestation of TRUE FEELINGS....
music is as versatile as the river which flows through a creek....it is the versification of a poet..anodyne of the endurer..vaudeville for the happy..solace of the lonely..soul of the musician..unction of a dance..muse of the learned as well as the vassal of instruments and words........music is....a humdinger!
how many of you can deny the fact that music conveyed our feelings when our heart and mind turned off and we stood there like nincompoops??isn't there a song which makes you reminisce all the wonderful things of your childhood..or the best times you had with your pals or the sweet memories of your house you left behind in the journey of life or the family bonding?how many of you did not let go off your emotional baggage when your favourite song was played???there is a song for everyone...which brings a smile on your face...lights up your heart...lightens your soul...stirs up a gamut of emotions.....
Music is a universal feeling...it has the power to soothen or intensify our emotions.....you are never away from it..silence also is quiescent music...इस दुनिया के सुर सुन सकते हो.. उसकी आघोष में एक नया सुर पा सकते हो तुम खामोशी में ....... music conjures up a feeling of liberation with seemingly no emphasis on anything vital...it quixotically takes you to El Dorado,but here there is abundance of happiness:):)....it effaces the monotony of life and brings an immense pleasure..never mind the sojourn:)..........
and to say...life can never be "ON A SONG" without music;)....
It is waiting to unfold its mystery...to take you to a new place...try it..and you will love it!!!!:)
