Music is the melody that really touches our soul that gives the ultimate bliss. Music creates, induces emotions according to the mood which we are in. Everything in this world has rhythm in it. Good music can create a good soul in us. It helps us to build up ourselves inwardly.

Music is a sound that which gives a good feeling. We have numerous kinds of music in this universe. Even the cosoms has a sound in it, which we call the sound of the divine. In Indian scriptures, the very basic sound is " AUM" , where the three letter word stays base for every sound, every rthym that is heard.

AUM: The word Aum when uttered by a human voice, comes from 3 different parts of the body. The first syllabal "A" comes from the abdominal part - in Sanskrit " nAbhi".
The second syllabal "U" comes from the middle part/ chest -in Sanskrit " hrudayam" .
The third syllabal "M" comes from the upper part of the body, from the throat, in Sanskrit- "kantam". Music has all these three sounds in it.

It is even more intersting to note that in our South Indain classical music, the notes, " The Saptaswaras" are compared to the sounds of animals. This is given in the ancient tamil literature. It is nature ultimately that give us or teaches us everything.

More to come.........

Cuddle the moments when dreary
Cudgel the moments when scary
Nibble the moments when fiddly
Tackle the moments when sturdy

Unveil the moments when mysterious
Prevail the moments when precarious
Chisel the moments when perspicacious
Saddle the moments when sedulous

Share the moments when mellifluous
Spare the moments when glorious
Bare the moments when vicious
Care the moments when precious

Every moment is valuable
Every moment is passable
Every moment is indispensable
Every moment is adorable.

Amidst the dark, dreary cloud,
Out came the gleaming sun.
Spreading its rays,majestically proud,
Together with the usual fun.
There came a sudden gloom,
Leaving the sun like a squiggle!
Darkness over every bloom,
Low in spirits, and no giggle.

Nature teaches philosophy,
For happiness and sorrow so closely spun.
Being a wonderful pedagogy,
Always known but mostly shun!
Life, after all is a tassel,
With it, let us not ruffle!

Drench in rain and dry in sun,
To see their dance is lots of fun.
The color of them, really bright,
Yellow brings us pure delight.
Stretching their band so wide,
Is this the ocean with yellow tide?
In such a fashion they really grow,
No wonder, we raise our brow.

Touch, hug and kiss each other,
They know or not they will wither!
These we name as daffodil,
How they stand, is a riddle.
Not I am William Wordsworth,
Do suppose these are words worth
