Music...


How is music born? It is born from a combination of sound and silence. Sound and silence are so beautiful in their own ways. And think of music when rhythms of sound and silence play around to create magic.

Music is what feelings sound like. It is a picture painted on the canvas of silence. The response of human mind to any stimuli falls short of the response it has for something sweet to the ears.

Music can alter your thoughts to such a great extent and that too in such a quick manner that you feel lifted from one world to another. We play the music, not the instrument. Long back I had read some poem in my schooldays in which the poet had requested the creator convert him to a flute so that the music of life can flow through him and give happiness to the world around him.

Music is something that the soul is so close to but can never translate into any other form of words or speech or action, as once translated, the virgin beauty of expression is something gets touched.

An eternal dance between sound and silence.
