Music – Elixir ( Take one).





The definition of music varies from one person to another.  Some people say it’s a combination of instruments beating on the same rhythm along with vocals. While the others say it’s the fusion of vocals of varying pitches with meaningful lyrics. There are infinite genres of music- folk, R&B, classical, rock, country, etc. And everybody has their own taste in music. For instance I prefer country and slow music over rock or ‘house’ music.

“Rap is like modern poetry.”

Music artists think that there is nothing other than music and there is no life without it. They are so engrossed in the music. Not just music artists, even other people get soo into music that they forget about the world. Music has its own power, which can take us away from all our problems and tensions. It is like a therapy, a medication. Music is something which can changes one’s mood in seconds.  It can enlighten your mood, and at the same time it can make you sad by its meaningful lyrics.

“One thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”- Bob Marley.

Researches state that “music improves our concentration skills.” Believe it or not - ‘Chickens who listen to classical music lay larger eggs.’  And ‘cows make more milk when listening to slow jams.’ This is the power of music. 

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent” – Victor Hugo.

When we are happy we dance and enjoy the tune of the song, but when we are sad, we close our eyes and understand what the song means and what it is trying to convey to us. We grow up with music. A girl crosses her teenage phase listening to “Taylor Swift” , adulthood with “Enrique Iglesias”, a lady with “Adele”  and an oldie with “Jason Mraz”.
 Some of my all-time favorites are-
*I won’t give up – Jason Mraz.
*All of me –John Legend.
*Hero- Enrique Iglesias.
*Pehla Nasha- Udit Narayan.
*Abhi Mujhe mein kahin- Sonu Nigam.
Music is my life. It is my religion. :) !

Summer time Sadness


Do you know how it feels to lose contact with someone you have known for years? Do you know how it feels when, something interesting happens and you have to tell your best friend about it ASAP, but he or she is gone?  Do you know how it feels when you can talk to your beloved once in 2 months?

I definitely know about all these feelings. At the current phase of my life, I am completely shattered. It’s been a year since I shifted to Surat, but I was in good terms with my old friends from Calicut. We used to chat all day, talk on phones for hours, Skype all night. And now they decide to go to a hostel, being electronics not allowed. How do you expect us to keep in touch now? I feel like this is the end of the world. I know it sounds dramatic, but I can’t help feeling this way. I don’t even know if I can survive without these fellas. I am soo addicted to them. Being aware of the fact that they leave in a day, I cannot stop breaking down. I cry all nights. I stay frustrated all the time. I whine a lot. I am messed up.

It was only two years ago when I went soo close to these guys. We became chaddi-baddies. We told each other everything. We used to be together in the bus, short breaks, and recess. And on top of that we used to talk on phones or chat on social networking sites after schools. We knew about every possible thing happening in each other’s lives. We even shared our dreams. Life was crazily perfect then.

Sadly, I shifted, things started to change, they weren’t the same. Completely different, a bit tough, but yes it was good. Skype, phone calls, chats were on 24 x7. We were completely depended on phones. We managed to cross our 10th with average grades. And now they just go to a place where electronics are banned.I am so sentimental right now, that i cant even write more. I don’t know what happens now. I definitely don’t want to give up on them. I guess I better stay put and be strong. Let’s just hope for the best. Love you fools :*.
