That’s
right! You see it all around you, while travelling be it a bus, car or train, driving,
walking, jogging, waiting, working, even while sleeping, the
activities are endless…Hard to find the common factor that fits all of the
above? One more clue…It is small, mostly black, has wires but also comes in
wireless now and can be connected to your mobile phones (ring a bell?),
Yes!!! I was talking about the ultimate
equipment everyone prefers nowadays to listen to music – “The earphones.”
Take
a walk outside and you can witness the end number of people with this petite
device glued to their ears. Music is hard to live without now and has become a
vital source of entertainment, the most sought after hobby in resume's and one of
the best ways to deviate your mind from something bad (trust me, it really
helps). When you are feeling down and low listening to music can really cheer
you up and take your mind away from stressed, troubled and awful thoughts. No
wonder music became a source of medicine, the so-called Music Therapy.
This
free, painless and relaxed therapy does make wonders to please your mind and put
you at ease. Have you ever noticed this interesting phenomenon? When you are
listening to some of your favorite tracks, you involuntarily close your eyes,
picture things and immediately a slight, naughty smile will come on your face -I bet that smile has a lot of story to tell;-) it may be a face, a gesture, an
instance, a word, a dialogue, a place, a name, a journey and many more, some of
which are very private, personal and close to you and some ‘not-so-private’ ( I
couldn’t find a better word, oops). Just like smile, every song and every tune
will also have lot of stories to tell and may also remind you of someone or
something (You are smiling now, I can see). Wondering how I find out? I do the
same (he he)
So
no matter how much your parents scold you for listening too much music or your
grandparents for fearing that loud music can blast your ear drums, we always
find shelter and peace in the soothing arms of music. It calms us just like the
soothing wind ruffling your hair and giving you goose bumps while on the beach,
park or a field (provided it is a melody, ghazal or light pop). If you are into
hard rock and metal…hmm…(I am also a fan of hard rock and metal but at times when
listening to it, I feel as if I am thrashing my boss or taking my rage on
someone, to be frank).
I
started with earphones and ended in music, guess the two are coupled and cannot
be separated like lovers (that is such a lame line, and lovers can be separated
under certain circumstances, who created this line anyway... hmmm? )
Anyways,
just a thought on music and how it makes
me feel. Tell me your take on musicJ
