Music has immense power.

It’s your companion irrespective of whether you want to party or if you just want to be alone. It’s a great buddy to have when you are happy and wanna dance or if you are sad and just wanna hide. Sometimes it fills an empty day and on other times it provides a soothing relaxation during a hectic day. It gives voice to unsaid and pull out smiles out of nowhere.

Together with poetry, the two weaves a magic as no other known to mankind. At times, I think words were not invented for communication but for poetry coz nowhere else do they seem so comfortable and so apt. A beautiful song is like words dancing gracefully on the tune of music. So sometime you look at the dancer and get wowed by her elegance and grace and on other times you just let music sweep you off your feet.

Poetry is like a sea, majestic when you look at it from a distance, comforting when you let waves come and meet you, deep and magical when you dive in and every time you dive deep inside you find something beautiful to bring out with you. It has got something for everybody…beautiful corals, lively fishes, precious pearls, dangerous sharks ……....That’s poetry.
It doesn’t matter who you like, Shakespeare or Ghalib, Frost or Nirala, Floyd or Gulzar, who creates the magic is not important as long as you can feel the magic, sense its existence and turn to it when you need it.

Song recommendation of the day:
Am listening to this beautiful song from Parineeta and as is my habit with any song that I like, this song is running in continuous loop…again and again and again.

Raat humaari to chand ki saheli hain
Kitne dino ke baad, aayi woh akeli hain
Sanjha ki baati bhi koi bujha de aaj
Andhere se jee bhar ke, karni hain baatein aaj

Andhera rootha hain,Andhera raitha hain
gumsum sa, kone me baitha hain

Andhera pagal hain, kitna ghanera hian
Chubhta hain, dasta hain….phir bhi who mera hain
Uski hi godi me ,sar rakh ke sona hain
Uski hi baahon me chupke se rona hain
Aankhon se kaajal ban , behta andhera
