Music

I have rediscovered the joy of music. I was up early this morning and listening to music. It was dark at 7 a.m. It was chilly and there was a traffic build-up outside the building. There was an orange tinge in the horizon. And the music purged the mind. Music performs the job wonderfully when you need something to clear the mind and the aid the thought process.

And I seem to be developing a taste for classical music. It is a pity that I won't be around for the music season this year. I wanted to attend and see if I could listen patiently to an entire vocal concert without thinking of the badam halwa and vazhakkai bajji in the academy canteen. I am probably going to have to wait another year for that.

There was an agenda: I would be in a position to identify atleast a few ragas in the period of one year. The 12 months are long over but my knowledge has improved, not at all. But I tell myself, one day it will happen. I will appreciate the music I listen to, a lot more.
