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!

Death's Beauty Till the Very End!

Death's Beauty is too under-praised. People who have seen death up close have concentrated on its ugliness always. I find Death to be beautiful. Everything thing around a death becomes so silent. Death is symbolized as COLD and LIFELESS. And so are funerals. The Loss maybe huge. But Y the atmosphere is made in such a way that it is more silent than death itself? People never concentrate the beauty of Death. Ever felt the air in the funeral. Its so COLD so DEAD so DEPRESSED. Such is the power of death.
A DEAD body is the perfect symbol of a vast emptiness withing this World which can never be filled by anything else. The Feeling That prevails around it is chilling to the very core of the soul. Life may not have made the person a great human being. But He gets he same feeling of respect from anyone who does not even know him. That is what is called the respect for the DEAD. But this is not any rule made by a human. This is what actually comes from within. When a person is alive he may get varied amounts of respect from Different people. But when a person dies, all who see him or know him in the slightest will feel a feeling, that one which i cannot explain or describe. There is no different levels in the world of death. Death is gods greatest gift to man. All that God gave us in this life is actually an opportunity to understand something which is of the utmost beauty and Death is a timer slowly ticking towards us.
The people who have died for a cause have the most beautiful death. Because till the end their heart had a feeling of life, energy, the spirit to fight through the odds. The pain one suffers in the end is subdued by the greatness of there cause. These deaths are the once which are the Best. Because of the valor they have attained. The atmosphere has the energy of the person lingering in it. But somewhere when the body starts to perish...at one point everyone gets the same feeling. Pure FEAR. That itself is so Beautiful. Yet it gives a person courage if he can learn from it.
The Worst death's are suicides. There is actually no respect left. Its Just Pity. Such Death does not scare much though. Because people are so confident that it not going to happen to them. After that feeling creeps in heart suicide mostly goes out of option of a persons list. Because a person would never like to get the pity even after death(except for those who enjoy pity). Death has a beauty because it is also the End Of all happiness. End of life. People who read this, one small advice. It does not matter how u die, You will get respect. But which type u want to get its up-to you! And if u want a beautiful death. Its very simple formulae. The more u respect life the more beautiful your death will be.

P.S. For people who have lost a loved one-> I deeply regret your loss. And i have not experienced that feeling myself. It is sad i know. But i still find it beautiful. No Offence to anyone.

Time Which Does not Pass!

Ever been in a situation where you are forced to sit and wait for long hours? If you have, then you must remember the last wait at the ticket counter line, or maybe for a train which was delayed by more than a couple of hours. Or maybe at an airport waiting long hours for a flight delayed due to the weather. I bet that wait of more than 2 hours is not a pleasant experience at all. If you are in that situation with your best buddies, them time will fly before your eyes and you may not even notice.
But suppose you are absolutely alone in the situation. What then? How do you now spend the time? It feels that all the patience inside you has been kept at knife's edge. Getting Irritated and bored is quite easy in situations like this. maintaining your cool is a real herculean task here. The best thing to do in a situation like this is to maybe grab a book or something to read. But if you are not the reading types then you can actually enjoy looking at other people who like you may be waiting or busy in their own work. Notice them , observe them, enjoy their company without even talking to them. If you can read then a person's body language and facial expressions actually tell a lot!
If you are a guy, the best thing will be to place yourself strategically beside a group of chattering beautiful females. I know that eavesdropping is a wrong thing to do. But you can take the opportunity as an advantage, cos it was not your wish to be strung up in a situation like that, now what more of a interesting choice do u have? I bet guys will definitely find girl talk interesting!
If you are a girl............you can try placing yourself beside a group of handsome, intelligent smart and talented guys. Although it may take you more than the waiting time to find guys like this having all the combinations i mentioned above. Cos it is impossible to find just one, n i m talking of a group...whoa!!! Even if u manage to find a group of really handsome guys, then all they will be talking about is sports.....girls....and things which will be completely boring to girls!! Well nobody said that waiting would be perfect did they? Its ok to spend a couple of hours like that i suppose!
BUT...If your luck is like really bad, and you are all alone in a situation like this. Then dont do anything. Put a alarm(so that u dont miss the train or flight) and doze off, cos in a empty place you really have nothing to do!

Can You CONTROL your MIND or are you being controlled by it??

Ever thought about the fact that"One who can control his own mind can reach any heights of the world" in matters related to anything be it name, fame, power, love, anything at all. It is true. Because the human mind is capable of the greatest of things possible. You dont even need an example to understand the validity of this. Just think about everything you see around you. Yes it has all been created by the wonders of the human brain. Man was very primitive in the very beginning of existence and has emerged a lot since that time. Just think about the pace of technological progress a mere human mind has helped to achieve. But can a person actually control his mind completely? Can we control our minds? The answer to this would be a simple YES. It may seem difficult but it is definitely not impossible.
You can control your movements cant you? How do you do that? You just order your brain to work in that way??? Isnt it? Then Y is it so difficult to control your own thoughts and actions...which are a direct result of the commands you give to your mind. If one can control his mind, he can do many good things for himself and for others too. If you get stuck at a point where u cant decide what is the right thing to be done, ask your conscience, it will guide you to do the right thing, and you can tell your mind to obey you to do the right thing! Some simple steps will actually help yourself more than anyone else. Stop doing the vices which you are doing! You can control your mind, let the opposite not happen!

All Doors Closed

Has there been a period in your life where all the doors felt closed on you? You felt trapped from inside so much that it choked your very thoughts. You got so confused about your existence that you even stopped questioning yourself for the reason Why life had become so mean towards you. What was the feeling you felt? Was it something like being taken down by a huge wave of the ocean, and you even though tried very hard to swim could not help yourself. You feel totally helpless. Like a small child struggling for some peace. If you have ever felt the tide of life totally against you, you would know exactly what i speak of. The tide is so strong and so determined to take you down, that you cant move an inch even though you try everything, but you get that weird feeling that everything is going against me. Things get worst if you dont have friends to help you out at that bad time of your life. I hope life does not take anyone through this route. But if you are there, dont worry, you are not alone. There have been others and will always be more in that same situation. Remember...when you swim through the most difficult tides you become the strongest swimmer. Although at that point you cant see any hope, but do not ever lose faith. These tides will be temporary, keep swimming.
