Love and Music – the best ways to discover oneself!



What is a life if it hasn’t experienced love? The sheer joy of surrendering unconditionally and giving boundlessly…of losing oneself to the spirituality of it and finding oneself, all at the same time!
Love, somehow, is a window unto thyself; it subtly explains your own traits as a reflection of those that you find endearing in the person you love. And this one emotion encompasses a whole gamut of sentiments – anger, irritation, despair, longing, attachment, reticence, passion and compassion! Love often brings to the fore emotions that would otherwise lie latent.

It’s hard to imagine love without music. Or, may be, I am being the typical Indian who loves her movies! Music is the most complete form of expression; no matter what, it would never fail!
Right from the lovely trick of serenading one’s lady love to the lovelier trick of letting a lover know you’re disappointed, music comes in handy at all times.

Personally, my taste in music has evolved over the years. From the days of ‘head-banging’ to heavy metal, much to my mother’s chagrin, to relaxing to some fine classical music, now, to her delight, it has been a journey of understanding music as much as myself. 

I'd like to share a thumri in the very romantic Raga Khamaj...
