Music Maketh Man

         Oh no! I don't intend to defame the adage by this title. Here I mean to explain how music forms an important part of our life. I am still a believer of - "Manners maketh man". And not only man , a woman too. It's high time for us to consider that it holds good for unisex. Same applies to my title. So I take into account the entire "Homo Sapiens" community by this title ( Sorry :P That was one bit of a hortatory effort for me to feel that I've not forgotten my basic biological studies undertaken back then at school . Homo Sapiens = Humans). This post is an opinion that I would like to share, infact something from my heart and yeah you're right I missed that word- "bottom of my heart".

          So what is common thing that unites a flowing waterfall and a nightingale? No , this is not a horrendous comparison. Think , there's something linking both. For those who have guessed it right , yes it's MUSIC. You can ask me as to how flowing water can create music. I'm perfectly fine with proper senses. But still why do I collate two things that has "nature" as a common backbone and say that a third party called music unites them? That's because I feel MUSIC is not just that song created by musicians and the orchestra. According to me , it is not only produced by the musical instruments but by every possible source in nature, greatly impacting on mankind. MUSIC is something that soothes the heart. It is that something which makes a person vivacious.

          Okay, why take nature?. Consider yourself , your own body. The fist-sized living organ, the heart itself banks on music for your own survival. Even the world's best musicians cannot match the beat and the tune that this plump little organ creates. Mind you , you are existing only because this tiny music maker is happy creating the best music - "lubb-dubb". Ah! So you yourself are a musician. Well,no, magician. You make music that is intangible. Musically-magical isn't it?. The whole world of music starts with us. What a bliss!

         Music is a companion. The best companion in times of happiness, joy, grief, pride and what not. It surrenders to us by cleaving itself into different genres. Different types , different sources , different listeners but one word- MUSIC. Music has the power to lift up any situation. It is so much instilled within us , into our blood. Those cries that we made as little babies , those tiny attempts that we took to be a part of a choir, the calm sound of gushing waterfall/river , the divine feeling of temple bells( the jingling bells too :P) , the blissful sound of birds , the bizarre resonance of conch shell , the thunderous clouds , that song we tried singing to impress our special one , all are MUSIC. 

      Personally music makes my day , my life , my existence and my everything. So yeah the above justifications makes me say "Music Maketh Man". Happy for those who accept this along with me. :)

Confessions of a Pluviophile

        But why? Why do I suddenly call myself a pluviophile? Wait, it's not like I don't like rain. I find happiness when it rains . Yeah, it's peaceful. But why haven't I considered myself one previously and why now?. Well, for those who wondering what a pluviophile is - someone who finds joy and peace of mind when it rains. With these thoughts still running , I pen down as to why I call myself a pluviophile with gratulation.

       The month started  with the greatest burden of all time- THE EXAMS. This is the time for me to prove as an epitome of patience for this exam season can extract all that energy and power in us. While I was waiting to activate my chemistry formula
Fear+Anxiety+Aim ---> Concentration+Good Score  with a catalyst "less time to study", the sudden visitor of my city, the rain, started to pour. With dark clouds surrounding like a thick curtain, the rain accelerated at its full speed with so much determination to pour. Ah! My lazy brain that was supposedly trying to concentrate has got a reason now to stop functioning. "Fie..it's raining and why do you still hold the book? Nope,I can't provide concentration anymore!!", were the words it uttered to me.

       Anymore? That means was I already learning? But how come I was able to hold an open book , trying to activate my formula and still not learn a word? How was that possible? That's when I realized that despite my arduous efforts to study , my sluggish  brain tried to cheat me by feigning itself to provide concentration. Also one more thing. No concentration only for studying, but it was there for something else. Oh, I have to find that.

       Found. I was starring at a white wall. It was just plain and tinged. My concentration on this led to haphazard thoughts. I remembered how I fought with my mother to get me a white watch. But wait, watch was my idea of gifting my friend on her birthday. But she should be free on that day, otherwise the plan would flop. What? Oh yeah , Plan!. I have to create a group to inform all friends and discuss. But there's still a month for her birthday. A month , which means exams will get over. Yaay! But what did I plan after exams ? Movies?Oh yeah but we got to book tickets for that new release. I have to watch the upcoming movie  because the last movie of the same star cast was a flop and this film is being hyped too much. It has good music too. But I got to ask my friend for the timings and date of the show. Yes I have to discuss. I lay on my cushion filled bed, smiling at the white wall , thinking about all of these.Yes, someone who would watch me now would mistake me for an insane. But it was peaceful and nice. Just random thoughts/memories with a soothing rainy climate. Yes, it creates a bliss.  

        Oh God! I forgot something. The time. I starred at my timepiece with dismay.I wiped my eyes to see it again for I thought I saw a wrong time due to my lost senses. But the time was right. It was two hours past the time, when I attempted to learn. How can time run so fast? But I haven't crossed a page in learning. That's when I realized for a slugabed and lazy creature like me, the rains can create wonders by providing a cosy and pleasant feel , making you run into the dreamy world that provides happiness and peace of mind . So yeah , coming back to the point of sharing this - I realized that I'm a pluviophile. How many of you have realized it now ? :)
