The Power Of Music

I started my journey to pune for the weekend. I was in the train looking at a musician playing his music with his one string instrument also called as "Ektara". The fellow totally unaware about the magic which he aroused by his music. The power music wields in the human minds. He kept playing on beautiful slow tracks with such finesse not once realising about its raw power. He was just doing his daily routine to earn a few coins for his daily bread. I saw people who were before chattering or just standing there bored diverting their attention towards the musician. The place became quite and all i could hear was his music being played. I kept on jotting my thoughts on my notepad in my mobile. Suddenly i saw a shabby hand in front of with few coins in it, asking for more. I gave him a 5 rupee coin as a thanks to the magic he just showed me. He was all in smiles. It was a reward for a very small person, but a very talented musician. It was an amazing sight when he played, because the people did not even know that they were looking at him. He was dressed shabbily worthy of ridicule. But when he played his string, he was someone with a strange magic in his hands. Strangely neither the people nor the music noticed this magic. He left at the next stop, and that followed the usual chatter of people around, which ended the magic. I put on my ipod back in my ears and continued the journey, with the magic still playing in my ears!
