Why Read Me

We are so busy in the hustle bustle of life that we fail to find the little bursts of joy. I am not a proclaimer, a wise man nor one whom the world can depend, nor do I hope or seek to be one. Ok I probably hope to be termed as a wise man eventually. However, I do believe that we always have some role or the other to play during our short visit on planet Earth.

Life, after all, is a never ending game, its like God playing chess. He always has a move ready, and so unpredictable is our life, that the fate is always unknown, the next move is always a surprise. So all we got to do is keep on running ahead, and wait.

Wait for the drama to end, wait for the revolution to come. Wait for the miseries to fade away, and wait for the light of the sun!

From the mind of a simpleton and the heart of a revolutionist : Welcome to Kaustubh's blog ...

Music - The Language of Freedom

There are many things, subtle, smooth, relaxing and somethings that just flow with time, mixing into our daily lives. We have chocolates, religion and of course love. But there is one thing that just can't be defined perfectly, cannot be seen, cannot be questioned, cannot be stopped and cannot be hated. That one thing which is as sublime as it can get, flows in the air, flows from one heart to another, heard, understood and felt. The thing that comes out in happy, sad, troubled and angry times, but it when it does come out, its free, unbounded, uncurtailed and unchallenged. Its a language of expression, passion, a language of freedom - Music.

There are so many things that are passed on from one generation to another. Somethings are welcome, somethings aren't. Music, since ancient times, be it using stones, hands, feet, instruments or just voice, has been a part of every society. Ancient tribes had it, thanks to stones and their "tongue-tones" if you know what I mean. Gradually we reached the era of trumpets and drums. This gradually evolved into slow, soft music with modern-day instruments like that of Beatles and Carpenters. This quickly kept on evolving until it reached our times wherein music is a part of our existence.

Something that has such an old connection, but is still not regarded as "old-fashioned" and as no vices associated with it is something pure and awesome. I mean, think of it, we have music when we pray to God, but at the same time, we have music for war-martyrs. We listen to music in leisure whereas we also listen to music in stressful times. You know what's even more awesome in music? We do enjoy the music of our own language, but what's more special is that we might also enjoy the tune and rhythm of another language although we may not understand it.

From the age of only vocal musical exchange to modern-day Bluetooth headsets and Bose systems, music has evolved and evolved well. Its a powerful weapon, a powerful way of connecting, to recharge yourself, and amidst all other bullshit, its a culture, and a good one!
