Preface
I wanted to create this blog almost a year ago, but my laziness and general life got in the way. Also, I have this terrible habit of not completing the things I start. Owing to my birthday (on Monday), I've decided to gift myself a new me: Varsha v2.0 - that finishes things. Once this version has been loaded, maybe I'll work on creating the code for Varsha v2.1 - that finishes the things she starts on TIME. :)
This blog is going to be solely dedicated to music. It's a saviour of many, sole-searching instrument for others, and the esoteric love of life for a few. For me, it's one of my many interests and many loves. I learned singing as a part of extra curricular activities done in school. I tried my hand at the guitar as well, much later. (Both these hobbies lay inactivated in the room of things I never completed.)
When spending with music, I'm always taken to a different realm. It's a place deep within me that isn't generally accessed with life's rubbish tasks. Lost in the commute from home to work, in the arguments with friends, and the ambitions for tomorrow. It has a lot of different routes to it - reading, meditation, some forms of exercise... it's not so simple to talk about this place; to pin it down in words. However, writing it about it distills the emotions a little more easily.
So, this blog will be an attempt to demystify for myself how I feel in the presence of music. In the next forty weeks, I will attend at least one live musical performance. If I can attend more and experience 40 musicians live in their musical zone, before these forty weeks are over, nothing like it! I haven't ever been partial to genres: I love Indian classical music as much as I enjoy acoustic trance. So, the genres maybe vast and varied. On this blog, I will pen down my experience with music and the thoughts that it generated about life, love, friendships, work, self-actualization, etc. I hope to include a lot of philosophy here too.
Happiiee birthday to me in advance! :D
