Love, Music and the Magic
I have always wanted to write about this indomitable feeling called LOVE! It is the butterflies that you feel in your stomach for few, the smell of mom's food, the kiss on your forehead by your dad, the longing hug by your siblings, and for few kicking and hitting each other- with friends and cousins. So I am not essentially talking about this feeling between two opposite genders alone. What is this feeling all about? What makes some people do crazy things? what is this gaga all about? I realize its a completely different perception for every single individual.
When I watch few movies, I see strangers extending their help to our hero/ heroine outa nowhere and I am like 'Duh! My neighbor does not care to extend a helping hand if he sees me in need. Strangers helping?! Seriously?' Let's switch back to a little earlier period. Well, I was not born in the era of 18th Century but yes, I do have history (which for once I enjoyed referring to) to look back at. Those where the times of war, one nation trying to conquer another..let's take our time machine a little behind..Wow! isn't that a different scenario all together? People helping each other, extending a helping hand at the blink of eye, making you feel comfortable in whatever ways possible, always ready to add new members to the clan (not your FB, Whats app groups!) Thanks to few of those people who thought of the solution to end the world war. Peace treaties between nations settled down things to a great extent.
Let's come to the present. Now where did all the love , respect for individuals and Peace treaties vanish to? All I see is terrorist attacks, murders, rape, revenge, blood shed every single day at some corner of planet earth! We tend to get irritated even at the silliest of things and always hold grudge against people.
There is one more magnificent creation by the Creator (the first always being creating mankind)- the running water, the blowing wind, the rain drops, a babies cry, the long stroll you take in a garden or even when you breathe! The sound.. The music in everything that you do! We seem to have forgot that 'When nothing works music sure does'. Whatever mood you are in- happiness, sorrow, grief, love, heart break, missing your loved ones- you can always tune into music. While I am writing this as well there is some music playing in my head.
I strongly believe Music is the magic to unwind the lost love among mankind. What I am quoting here might sound ridiculous to many. Let's say, there is person X who wants to beat up person Y for whatever reason. Don't you think him listening to a Jazz, a melody is gonna change his mood altogether? I always take solace in music. It sure is the magic for me, helps me to overcome my disappointments, helps me to add more excitement to the happy moods and a whole load of things.
Hard rock or a soft medley, this wonder, changes the way you think. It's like before music and after music effect that you can clearly see in a person. Now you don't have to be listening to some fancy artists/ following some person's music. It's all about you taking a minute for yourself. Don't you think closing your eyes and playing your favorite music in your head just before an important presentation is gonna work wonders? Trust me, it works! A minute for yourself before taking any of those big decisions in your life- good or bad. I remember watching Victoria Azarenka entering the Wimbledon arena for the final encounter with Maria Sharapova with her head phones on! Sachin Tendulkar- the legend quoted about ARR- the Mozart "Whether I was preparing myself for a match or whether it's celebrating my 100.. even when there was nothing much in life..it was always your music"
So, Spread love, spread the joy of music..It sure works wonders!
Vive!!
