MUSIC -Today I have started.

  • One fine day a small little girl (me) of 10 takes  the utensils in the house and starts playing them like a tabla.
  • An ideal mom (my mom) sees that as an interest and puts her in the tabla class with  great dream of seeing her as a great tabla percussionist.
  • The girl attends the class .. without knowing whats passion of music.
  • She reguarly attends the class ..does no riyaz ..practices tabla only when moms scolds or mom forces or only when exams are near..gives five exams and one fine day without any regret ...leaves the class and feels absolutely nothing.
  • For the next 4-5 years Tabla is out of her life..She is off to a different city busy with her academics..with exams.THE TABLA WAITS...
  • One fine day she listens to a  classical concert in the college  and tears roll down her eyes.
  • She realizes what a treasure she has with her. She realizes ...what great opportunity she has missed ...not everyone gets a chance to learn an instrument.
  • But academic responsibility,expectations overcomes this realisation...moreover later when she starts earning this realisation dies....THE TABLA STILL WAITS.
  • The girl grows up ..tries to discover herself ...tries to understand what life is.. she understands what passion is ..and realises that tabla was never her passion but beats and music was a thing without which her life was incomplete.
  • She realises that still music was the thing which was closest to her heart.
  • She realizes that music is what makes her happy.
  • Music is what makes her realize her existence.
  • Music is that which takes her to all the existing worlds in the universe.
  • Music is what brings tears in her eyes without any reason.
  • Music is what brings a smile on her face without any reason.
  • Music is what makes her wait while she is talking..eating...even shopping.
  • Music is what makes her continue what she doesnt like.
  • Music is what makes her feel lonely even when she is surrounded by near and dear ones.
  • Music is what fills up her life even when no ones around.
  • Music is what makes her realize every emotion 
  • She knows that when no one would be there ..it would be music.

But material responsibilities ,expectations, hopes and being in a human body holds her back...and she is still moving on with her life without recognizing the love for the music especially the beats.

But Today she feels that this isnt fair for her life..she has got only one and it is then , that she writes  this blog :)


From Today I WILL NOT MAKE MY TABLA WAIT ANYMORE :)
From Today I will dedicate some of her daily time at least thinking over it or playing it or even dreaming about it an never let music or the beats die out in me.


Today i have taken the first step to learn one uthaaaan from the net ...

Dear Moradian Sir

This post is regarding a lecture @ Welingkar's foundation fortnight.So I apologise to my non Welingkar readers if they are not able to connect :( “Don’t miss Moradian Sir’s session! He will make you forget to go to the loo!!” said one of our seniors one day “Since then I had been eager to see who and how this Moradian fellow was ! I waited n waited to hear his name in next days speaker’s list. After the long wait on second last day of the fortnight they announced his name.I was super delighted…then they announced the time..8.30 -2.30..”Wahttt !!” I thought “Never ever sat in one place..for that loooong ..and that too on a Sunday!!”I panicked silently..feeling sad for my but*s :) But you see..'sala I had no CHOICE  na :) :)' Next day when we entered the auditorium, the fair Parsi* was setting up his laptop.He was ½ n hr ahead of his time. The scene was like the guest speaker was welcoming the audience :) When laptop was checked..presentation was checked …ve...

Interesting Derivation ...

I read two axioms today... 1. A woman dresses up to impress men. 2. A woman’s wardrobe is characterized by pinks and floral prints. Read them again ... Firstly do you agree to the two ? If you dont, then read furthur... Secondly just think what u can derive after you combine these two ??? If you cant then read furthur .... As you aaaalll know that I have a bad habit to think over any crap,I thought over these two axioms and came up with an interesting analysis.... Axiom1 Women dresses up to impress men. As for me, currently this axiom is a holy shit as I never wear anything to impress anyone!!! But, But,But  if I think generically this cliché  is absolutely TRUE . I remember my aunt saying once while buying a saree “Owww! I like this this color but your uncle doesn’t :(  so I wont opt for  this one” One of my roommate once said “I know, I wear this top like a thousand times !!Actually I hate it but my boyfriend loves it “  and everytime ...

Meet you BEYOND

Neither a poem nor a prose ..just my heart that i pour. Reh always liked my randomness n so I will continue it .. The following lines are another example of my randomness .. I know ‘she’ will read this one too !!                                                                               SHE  Coz it knew she would be waiting eagerly for it ..That gushing wind turned its way, just to flow through her beautiful hair Coz they knew she would wait to admire their fall ..Those old ocher leaves held on to the branches till she passed under the tree Coz no one else had owned...
