I never know whether I am qualified enough to write about something as great as this. Music... remember!!!, is always compared to ocean by all the pundits and greats in the field. I was always a little bit awed by this kind of comparision. Thought that...maybe it's their humility in saying that.
But now that I am making my first little steps into the world of music, I realize how vast it is, and even a comparision to an ocean is not enough. Music in itself is a different world, so intriguing, so wonderful, complex and yet, accomodates everyone into it. It's something of an infinite energy into which every one can take a dip and make their own creation out of it. And if that's not possible, everyone can see into it, and find their own emotions reflecting in it. Whether your glad, happy, sad.... Music is a companion which makes you experience your self which many are afraid to do.
The most fascinating part is that the entire music..........whatever we hear, whether it's pop, jass, hindustani, the sounds of nature...literally anything in nature comes from only the seven sounds Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni. That's just amazing to know. And when I was just thinking that this would make it easy to learn, I was told that "to just be able to know and understand one sound in all it's forms, it would take a lifetime". I never know whether we'd ever be able to taste atleast a drop of this ocean, but when we see the devotion with which the great musicians perform, it definetly strikes that, it's so very true....It takes a lifetime to reach there.
Whatever....whether it's tough or easy, beautiful or absurd, all we want is something which comforts us at different times depending on the mood we're in. Whether I am learning or not, I am listening to music with more interest for sure. And all the poets' passionate expressions of "singing birds", "music in the air", "sounds of the ocean".....are more vibrant now.
It's been a wonderful journey till now. Thanks to my teacher Mr. Tabun, it's been music with lots of fun. Not sure how much time we can spare in future, whether we'll be able to find time at all.......As of now it's really exciting to let ourselves flow in a different vein, away from all the chaos of the day which are already part of our lives......
So, let's hear to the more subtle sounds in our life....in the nature.....Who knows, there may be a wonderful composition just round the corner waiting for you to listen....
And never forget to JUST ROCK!!!
