Music on the Street

Date : April 21
Tasks to be completed in next 2 weeks : Infinite
Workload : (my capacity+1)

And I came home at 5 in the evening, thinking that I will do some serious work. I slept off and got up at 9 with some music going on somewhere far off from my apartment.

I opened my window to figure out the source of music.It was like a band : not too loud, not too faint. I guess it was somewhere near Capitol. I was too lazy to figure out where was it getting played. But, I was glad instead of closing the window and getting back to my mundane routine.. I left the window open and let the music + air flow in !

The music went on for some good amount of time...drums and drums and pianos..and may be other things.. It reminded me of OASIS... the bands playing inside the auditorium or far off in the lawns...and we lazying around in M Lawns...or just walking on the roads.. with that faint distinct music going on . It makes me feel as if the world has come alive, it is singing, it is playing. It feels like the world is walking with me, talking to me silently that no one else can hear.

It is like the world has come to a stop..and this night..this moment will never end..it will be here..
it wont go anywhere..it will do as i wish :)

and then the music stopped at 12 in the midnight..
Time to get back :)
Adios for now !

Myriad of Thoughts

Again, its been 1 year since my last post ! Sigh ! Exact 1 year, and here comes my next post :)

There are times I think about writing, but I realize it is difficult to start from one thing and end on another. If the mind was a sea, the thoughts were the fishes, and I the fisher-woman..It seems like all the fishes are jumping around, going hay-wire, and I am confused (Yes, as ever !!) which fish to aim for first. So, I leave fishing, and move on to my assignments, movies, novels, and catching up with friends.

Do you get scared of pulling your thoughts together and trying to understand what they mean ? I wish I could write a interpreter to interpret and understand everything going on around !

At such times, I enjoy listening to music. Music is so soothing ! It's like : It is always there, whatever happens! You can always bank on it. It understands everything. It explains everything. May be, it IS everything :)

It is a sheer joy to enjoy what you are doing, your work, company of friends and even the mundaneness of life !! Yes, mundaneness is scary, routine life is scary, its boring ! But : when you don't think about it... it is awesome ! I am not saying forget about tomorrow, give up your job, stop studying, become a hippie. Plan, but at the same time don't forget to live today !
Think about the day: the morning, the evening, the night ! Independent of other days. Completely MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE and INDEPENDENT days :) However, do keep the bigger picture in mind at the same time, because the union of these mutually exclusive days makes us what we are, and what we can be.

I am waiting for the movie SOURCE CODE to be released, primarily because of its trailer, a part of which says :
What if you had only 8 minutes to live ?
And the girl replies : I would make those seconds count.
Loved this dialogue totally !
