Music...


Music is something which is very close to me(I know u may think its kinda the same dialogue heard somewhere sometime ago by someone but there is nothing wrong in repeating it na??).I am this short tempered,over-emotional,sensitive person and if there is something apart from nature to calm me down and soothe me thats music..I just get lost in a different world when it comes to music(ok i agree i always do get "lost" in some world or other all the time..but well this is kinda a different and too beautiful world which i just love to get into..).There is no specifications as to the kind of music that i love..coz i love almost all genres..be it foot-tapping,melody..sweet ones and the sad ones..,instrumental,and even dappan koothu...but one kinda music just stands out as my all-time favourite..sufi music.....

It's a totally out-of-the-world experience when u listen to sufi music..I don't know what made me just fall in love with it..whether it was the tune,the lyrics,or the singer...but i just love every bit of sufi songs..every sufi song i have heard so far has been too beautiful to listen in some way or the other..sufism is all about people getting closer to god and having a connection with the divine power and feeling at peace with oneself through the medium of music..now am not saying only people who are religious will ever understand such stuff..coz i am 0% religious in that case...For me it gives lots of peace whenever i listen to it.no matter how stressed out I am or upset or well not feeling all that great..It just makes me forget all that and just makes me feel at peace with myself and gives me hope that things will be alright soon.

I still remember the first song which made me feel that way.It was 'allah ke bandhe' by the ever-soulful singer Kailash Kher(who happens to be my favourite as he rendered most of the my all-time favourite sufi songs). Every word in the lyrics ..well...kinda makes u marvel at their usage and relevance and think how meaningful each of them is..It just ..i don't know how to express it..transports u somewhere else..somewhere beautiful..Now u may all think I am really getting too philosophical and stuff like that but this music just happens to make u feel that way...Am not joking..Seriously,try it..I don't think I will be proved all that wrong.

And after that came another wonderful rendition-'Teri deewani'-by Kailash Kher once again. Whether allah ke bande had quite the impact or not,this song certainly did. It was and will always remain as one in the top all-time favourite sufi songs of any music lover. Even people who can not understand its meaning will get mesmerised by it once they listen to it. It is that good a song. Never failing to impress anyone who listens to it.
And now to join this list comes another soulful one-Arziyan-from Dilli6 which is truly captivating..sung by Kailash Kher and Javed Ali. In terms of music there is nothing that is capable of giving such a wonderful feeling as does sufi music...Listen to it and u will know how true it is..

There was this other day when i was down in the dumps thinking about my bad luck(not jz one day..evry other day i think like dis bt recover soon due to You-Know-What) .That evening i was jz out of my house in the evening at the backyard of my house..my god!!what a wonderful sight i was treated to!!am not exagerrating..seriously...bt there was this sky which had clouds jz strewn abt like puffs of cotton here and there...u know like small pieces all over the sky..(i think ppl who get to examine stuff under microscope will knw better...)and with a background of crimson red...and what's more the sum's rays were jz illuminating each bit of the strewn clouds..it was like highlighting the clouds..man was it so beautiful........am not a poet or sumthing like dat...bt i jz couldn't help feeling so happy when i saw this sight...it kinda made me feel how lucky i am to get to c this...and know the first thought that came to my mind..the usual..take a picture of it..bt then i realized ..somethings can't be captured jz like dat by the camera.(no matter how advance technology goes or how many mega pixels they advance to)..Eyes can never be beaten down in this matter..that sight has still not gone out of my mind,perfectly captured by my eyes...(nothing special abt my eyes..bt i jz wanted to tell ya guys that u can have a source of happiness right in ur backyard..no need to go to distant places for dat...if u wish dat is)..
Lemme tell u one truth...I was a hardcore pessimist..(maybe a little bit even now)...but things like dis jz make me forget evrything and learn to love and live the one life i have got..So people...jz go and get a life and think how lucky u are to have been born on this wonderful planet which has jz has boundless and wonderful treats in store for us if only we cared to examine it..and think of how beautiful u can make this planet instead of ruining it jz for ur selfishness...(ok maybe this was not part of the title but i jz felt like saying it...)
