Music!

I wonder if there's anything else in the world that incites the kind of emotions and feelings in humans that music does. That sensation that comes when I play a song on my headphones at a really loud volume, is unparalleled. I can bet with just about anyone that once the music starts flowing through your ears, you may be upset or sad or just generally blah, at least for a moment it'll transport you into this zone of dancing and singing along... and if you're sensible, you will choose to stay there!

Strangely enough, music actually does not have any language! You might think that you won't enjoy songs if you don't understand the lyrics... here are a few links you may try... and I challenge you will fall in love with these songs, even if you don't get a word of them (they're in kannada)...

Feeling philosophic right now!

So what is it that you desire the most in life? Money? Power? Fame? Happiness? Good food? Great travel? Love? None of the earlier? All of the earlier? Something entirely different? ... Or wait, are you the sorts, like me, who just can't figure out what they want the most in life!

While I was trying to find an answer to this 'very philosophic' question the other day, I wondered how is it that so many people know it so naturally that they want 'a red coloured dress with a golden dupatta and copper-coloured peep-toes with it', whereas all I seem to know about my wanting is... 'I want clothes'! (Not to forget mentioning the fact that I don't think such detailed-to-the-T people do any better in looking pretty than I do!!!!)

Then I thought, may be, a simple way to decode a valid and justifiable answer for 'what do I desire most in life' would be in answering 'What is the one thing I could die or kill someone for?"... ummmm.. truth be told, there is a list of things (at least 10 that I can count in one breath right now) for which I could go to the extent of killing somebody. And, there is quite an exhaustive list things for which I could die!

Is there anybody, anybody at all, who lacks clarity on this subject like I do? Anybody who makes statements about what they desire, dream and wish for.. and then secretly wonder, 'what difference would all those things make to me anyway?'.

To me, it seems like I am a victim of ever-shifting internal goal posts! But man, it's alright... I shall tame my senses some day!
