Magic of Music

Every soul in this universe enjoys music. The kind of music each listen and enjoy might be different.

But the meaning of it that touches our heart is the same. She can be your best companion for all ages.

Some listen for sheer entertainment, some for peace and some for life!

I personally get all the three from it. There are things in this world which we cannot touch or see but can only feel and music is one such miracle!

The amount of happiness I get by listening to my favourite numbers during a travel is more than expressible. This is when I realized, true happiness lies with you.

Even the worst of your moods can be turned upside down by listening to your favorite song.

Music is in the aura! The space around us has music. The air that sweeps around us has music. The beach with its heavy wave’s gives music, the branches of the trees that sway its leaves gives music, the wind that gushes and swirls the mud gives music, our heart beat gives music, the birds gives music and there’s music even in silence!
Nature is so beautiful that the sense of hearing is given for all living beings to enjoy this!

People are instrumental in bringing out this music having seen what nature gives us. Some are blessed with great mesmerizing voice, some with abundant talent to create music from the seven basic keys of music in all forms!

I have always wondered how different tunes could be produced from the basic 7 keys! Amazing!

Creation of man at its best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The decibels that reach our heart from music are much more than what it gives your ears is my definition of music.

Music touches our soul, gives an inner meaning to an individual and helps in bringing out the best of one.
Indeed music is a blessing in our living to relive and energize ourselves! Just as love touches our hearts showing there’s something more in this materialistic world, so is music I believe.
Let’s cherish the magic moments of every form of music we enjoy and live life in chords!

What’s in a title!

When I started reading the book “Chick Soup for the soul, woman to woman”, I was expecting some stories that would give me a definition and purpose of reading that book.


But I was motivated even with the title of some of the stories owned by people. Then I recollected all the books and write ups that I have read and the ones I wrote too, to understand how much a title gives a reader.

A very attractive title pulls the reader to read the contents barring the length of it. It creates inquisitiveness in her to know how the title takes you along the passage…

The power of a title can be realized in blogs and such short stories piled together to make a reader read it!

Some titles which made me read were -

A touch of kindness, Taste of failure, Farewell to the queen of hearts ….

How a title is interpreted depends on the reader, the puzzle in it on what could the title say…

A writer on the other end can interpret her title and provide a meaning to it with her own words.

Indeed, writing is beautiful as much as the title given to it!

Kid at salon

I was in a parlour last week and this cute girl child who had come with her mom for a haircut caught everyone’s attention there. She was really puny, with her face just as small as our palm. A little dark in complexion, clear face with tiny crying eyes. She was very tiny but her loud cry was in decibels and could have been heard by someone 10 blocks away!

She was covered with a yellow sheet on her to protect her from falling hair. The beautician who was cutting this girl’s hair whenever touched her face, this girl would cry loud saying leave me please.

The cutest thing about this cry was, she would constantly talk to this person who was cutting her asking questions and making comments. We watching them including the kid’s mom were on a roll.
Her voice was so sweet even when talking while crying.

And whenever she touched near the kid’s ear for a trim, the kid would yell in the top of her voice. And finally she was like… is it over now?!!
Very cute to see this kid who hated her haircut completely but probably giving an entertainment to everyone around her. Her mom had to hold her hands most of the time.
I checked with my sister who has 2 sons if her kids were also like this during a haircut. And yeah with no doubt it was the same!

And for guys they use that machine to roll over the head to cut hair which is worse!

Kids are always amusing when in any form of emotion!!

And we always have something to learn from them….

Welcome 2013

2012 – was quick with lot of things happening!
I just got used to 2012 and now we are in 2013. A quick year with lot of ups and downs in life.
Some of the events which caught my attention in 2012 are:
Earth quake and Tsunami alerts
Sachin becomes a member of Rajya Sabha
Retirement of Rahul Dravid and Laxman from international cricket
Pranab Mukherjee takes the post of President of India
London Olympics
Ajmal Kasab was hanged to death
Physcopath kills school students in US
Terrorism continues…

And finally the tragic harassment and death of a girl in Delhi which shook the country. Her perseverance and will to live even after going through this entire trauma, makes us realize what real bravery is!
May she rest in peace and let this awaken India with more respect for WOMEN!

On a personal front, 2012 has been a year with mixed emotions…
My career has been pretty good with a promotion and change in job profile.
Personally, I have learnt tons… and I have realized how much I have grown as a person. Also the things I need to change in me to form a better me.

I take 2012 one of the years in my life that has taught me a lot. It showed the best in me and the weakest in me.

I’m going to strengthen my strengths and cut out my weakness towards 2013.
Took a break – a trip to Bangalore with my friends. Visited the radio station there; what an experience.
Then to AR Rahman’s concert… Man what a day… what a performance.
The ambience, loud good music, the mad crowd… everything was just perfect to get my 2012 completed.

Am going to try more such new things in 2013 to keep my learning graph up!

Looking forward for a wonderful 2013 with peace and love!

Moon Walk

How would you feel like being in the moon? A visit to the moon and look around like on a vacation?
I heard on the radio recently that, with 150 crores they take to the moon for a visit!

Wow I thought….
It would be wonderful to see the moon in real… no doubt but a 150 Crore for that?!!!
My goodness!
We have studied a lot about the planets, seen them in the planetarium but in real? Sounds so exciting!
Imagine, walking on the moon with the mask…. And the oxygen
Flying around… like in a dream land.

I feel ecstatic just with the thought of it. I wish there was a day when we can really make it to the moon
:)

Spirit of Tomorrow

Today is a gift, that’s why it is called Present!!

When there’s present, why do we always worry about what is going to happen in the future? Yes, it’s
weird that sometimes we stick more to what will happen tomorrow.

What we sow reaps. So, if you give the best today, your tomorrow would automatically be good. Instead
we actually keep thinking about tomorrow and miss the present!

Our actions lead to our tomorrow. If your day is not good, chill, its ok… we have a tomorrow which
would surely not be the same at least!

Change is the only thing that permanent, so will your tomorrow.
So let’s live our present to the best that we have a tomorrow which is not really in our hands.
This would in turn give as a better tomorrow, which would be your TODAY then!

So enjoy your present for a better tomorrow….

Power of words!!

Sometimes I wonder what’s there in words…. But in due course I have learnt the power of the usage of words. It’s not the vocabulary that I am talking about here; it’s the choice of words….
In any circumstance, the words should be chosen such that we convey our thoughts without any misinterpretation by the receiver. The tone decides this!
The choice of words shows what we think; the tone gives our emotion….
Our thoughts are translated as words. It’s your words that reach the audience. Hence, having a clear and straight forward thought will emot your words in the exact way as you have thought.
In anger, or any other form of emotion, our words might turn against us allowing the recipient to judge us. Hence our words should be chosen in care and when in right mood.
The power of communication is high; expresses our thoughts, happiness, sadness, joy, madness, anger, frustration and what not!
But the words we use to communicate decide us finally….
Using the right word in any circumstance keeps us simple and happy without any complications!! 

Sometimes, we use some words and say “Just for Fun”. It could be fun for us but not for the one hearing us, knowing the state of mind of the recipient is also as important as ours.
We can never take back the words that are let out, so the choice of words is very important.

Be assertive and use words wisely for that decides you!!
