MUSIC IS WHAT FEELINGS SOUND LIKE

~~ No one else; can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken; live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins; the rest is still unwritten.~~

“Unwritten”. Natasha Bedingfield’s song, that makes me look life with positivity and surprises-in-store, even when I’m in my murkiest of moods.

 

Our psychology is tuned onto the iterative happy-depressed cycle. One moment we do something good or it happens with us, we become happy. And when we have nothing to do, or something tremors our life, we tend to put a sad smiley mask on our face. Be depressed in short! Among this, one thing where we tend to find peace is by listening to songs. Yes! Music is what triggers our mood-genes, most of the time and in 99% of us. It is one language in which you can’t say a mean or a sarcastic thing. Truly!

 

Joy makes the dancer or the singer in us come out. All we want is to shout out our favorite song or dance to it on full volume. Getting high has another aspect than been drunk. And that is definitely the music. Or when you’re low; depressing songs that hold a really deep meaning, trigger our mind cells that we keep on listening them for hours. Some sound keeps on playing in our head, all the time. Be it joyous or a sad one. In other words; Music expresses that, which cannot be put in words and cannot remain silent.

 

Recently I was reading this book, “THE ART OF CHOOSING”; and there I read a quote, about music that made me pen down all this. It goes like; “Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from the heaven to the soul.”  Honestly, the sound of anything and everything; is music with a meaning. Chirping of birds, Wind chimes, door bell, and our breath, ticking of clock, songs, weeping, love, water-ocean, air and EVERYTHING! Music is what feelings sound like.

 

Music can make us dance. Music can make us sing. Music can makes us fly. Music can make us jump off a cliff. Music can make us fall in love. Music can give us happiness. Music can take our fears. Music can share our sorrows. And Music makes us live. It’s enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime isn’t enough for music.

Love. Life. Happiness. Music; one soul different terms. Hence it is rightly said’ Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul.

P.s. I LOVE music. In fact; Worship it. :)

JANUARY PRAYER

These icy-cold winters have not only made our hands & feet numb, but the chill has hit some of the hearts as well. I was just pondering over the happenings in the last few years of my life; and realized how every person has a phase, like a part to play in your life. Exactly two years back, when my life was surrounded by shit, like deep-immature-shit; then god had sent a stupid loving angel, to help me walk through my haunted dreams. Correction; a normal-egoistic-friend.  And when my life became a bed of roses, not literally but when happiness was galore, he walked off. Vanished; left; and every other synonym that describes the impact of leaving without informing, and explaining the “OH-WHY-WHAT HAPPENED as such” of the friendship.

No matter how hard you try to stick to somebody, or be in love with, you move on after a while. There are very few people who actually strike the right chord in your heart. Such that, we cry when they feel pain, we smile when they are happy, and most of it, we bear the scar and the emptiness when they leave us. Life moves on and the impact of such people subsides with time. But the void remains and that kills!

I still wonder what happened that made me lose my best friend. Or probably I do. I don’t know! But the haziness and the fogged air in this friendship, has made it reach the danger level; which I detest. Badly. And these winters have made him cold too. I really want it to snow in Delhi, but I wonder if it does, then it’s gonna make his heart more numb to reality, me and a lotta other things.

Aaah! God! Please help me get my Costa mornings back; my super expensive lunch treats back, the ear to my never ending nonsense talks and most of it, my genie back. This is my first, frozen 2011 prayer; a wish which i really want you to grant .Just be around; like always.

I'll wish and I’ll pray. 

FROZEN WISHES

Just when I tried to type, my numb fingers gave up. And now as I try to type something with my gloves on, my laptop gives up! The chill has hit this stupid electronic device too. Aaahhh…its freezing cold! In my almost 21 years of living, I haven’t really witnessed, or felt to be precise, Delhi as cold as this. Delhi never ever had 3 degrees as its minimum temperature! All that’s left is some snowfall, which I really want to see and enjoy!

 

Winters are more beautiful than summers because they aren’t that messy, plus we get to wear more of pretty pieces like scarves, gloves, mufflers and daddy’s huge-sweat shirts! I love this winter season, very-very much, mainly cause of numb hands, ice cold water, hot-chocolate fudges, foggy drives, shivering,  noisy teeth, and less cause of the darkness! Even though it gets murky early these days, but this is the only time of the year when we love the sun, without any hue.

With winters, what one associates is Excess clothing, Christmas, Parties, Hot food and sweets, New Year, and if an undergraduate, then exams too! It’s been 4 years since my college exams have snatched my winter holidays, but just as every dog has its day, now I will do!*evil laugh*This is the last winter spent in blankets and books, together. And the contentment can’t suffice in words!

 

So moving next, like every December 31^st, I made quite a few resolutions this time too, which I intend to break a little later than the last year ones. And these include; Getting a job, teach in some NGO, Earn some revenue out of my writing, Love more, Travel more, click more, Write more, eat less junk, Party more, Drink less, read more, eat a little more less, dance more and eat junk way too less! And like every girl’s shopping list, this resolution list doesn’t end here. There’s a lot on my mind than this word document! I just wonder whether my list will work out well or my laziness will conquer it all!

 

So apart from stupid resolutions which will die a silent death soon, the New Year has bought in much more happiness than I wished or hoped for. Right from getting the full family home, to celebrations, to happy exams and unconditional love; everything. The past year, 2010 couldn’t have been more fruitful, loving and happy. But amidst all this some sadness that has left a deep scar which still prevails in the bottom of my heart. Anyway, without getting nostalgic or regretful or sobbing over what’s not with me, I’ll only be positive, at least in my 1^st post of New Year 2011!

 

Aaah! 2010 has finally left and 2011 is shining bright, though without sun and with frozen days, but along with positivity, joy and eagerness to do something BIG; all around me and in me, I just hope to get some things right for people who matter to me.  So, I wish everybody, who reads this, a “SOOPERB NEW YEAR 2011” with love, luck, happiness, success, positivity and dreams. May the almighty shower you with blessings always!
