Piece of music

One thing that touches me every day…… knowingly or unknowingly it has become part of my life. So I thought of writing about it which stays with most of the time, whether its office, home, journey, solitude or with friends… it always finds its space to slip in…Its MUSIC.


Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul. Music is one thing that has the power to transform a person who is ready to devote all his senses to the soul of music. It takes you to a trance and relaxes as if you are in some other world … which is far better, far superior. Good music is not only pleasant to your ears but to your heart, your sub-conscious mind, your soul and create harmony of spheres.

Music has a definite effect on people, animals, and plants. In fact it can have a powerful influence on our body, mind, and emotions.

It can be a very strong influence. Some music can calm us down; some music can make us wild! It brings with it the emotions and life of its own…. When I feel sad and lonely one thing I do is listen to music ….slow and soothing music… whenever I am happy I listen to music…fast, trendy, romantic and my body dance with each beat of it either virtually or literally…..when I am afraid & in confusion…I listen to music…some motivational, and sweet music…..So music stays with me even though the taste changes with my mood…. And it is also other way round. I am sure it’s true for most people….

Good music indeed has a dynamic impact on our everyday lives. In many ways it helps us stay in tune mentally, physically, and spiritually. Music with a ‘beat’ can stimulate your body; music with powerful melodies and harmonies performed with feeling can make you weep or cry out with joy; Music can move the soul. As it is moving mine while I am writing here I can feel various emotions flowing in the air and as the song changes emotions & flow of energy changes…. So are my thoughts.
When you like some music…..it doesn’t matter which language it is using to reach you… As Music knows no language…… Sometimes I end up listening music in a language I never heard before or don’t know….but my heart likes that music and it becomes part of it. … Music can compel us to laugh, to cry, to worship God. It can calm us or whip us into an emotional foot-stomping frenzy.

Playing "our song" can trigger memories and nostalgic moods. At least in my case I do get nostalgic or start crying after some very touchy numbers. Recently it happened with ‘Tare Zameen Pe’ movie’s ‘Maa..’ song or Rang de Basanti’s “Lukha chuppi..” song. There are many more in old songs list. Music really bring out emotions we never really care in our day to day life.
Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music… so there is lot which is still untouched and probably I don’t have words to express it anymore as music can be understood by experience only and not by mere theories. So have your daily dose of music and experience it your way.
