"Without music, life would be a mistake."



Really feel like playing my synthesizer today but sadly it isnt wid me here in delhi...... so started to think.....

What makes me want this music to be such a living and breathing part of my life???...

And I started to search the net( dont we all do wen we need the answers to life's petty and trival questions) and found so many people who had something very wise to say about this amazing invention called music.


If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.


And that is exactly what is happening to me.. i look for music when i listen to someone talk, while travelling in the typical delhi autorickshaw, i look for a rhythm to hum along to( i think Mr Rahman was doing the same when he composed Chaiya chaiya or the more latest creation of his " OOOOO SAAYA" from slumdog millionaire..... love the way the train tracks can add to the beauty of a simple melody...
So here goes nothing.....


And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence."

~ Paul Simon ~


2 A.M. and I'm still awake writing this song.
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
Inside of me, threatenin' the life it belongs to

Anna Nalick.

All aspects of musical practice may be disengaged, and privileged, in order to give birth to new forms of variation: variations on the relationships between the composer and the performer, between the conductor and the performer, between the performers, between the performer and the listener, variations upon gestures, variations on silence that end in a mute music that is still music because it preserves still something of the musical totality of the tradition...all elements belonging to the total musical fact may be seperated and taken as a strategic variable of musical production. This autonomization serves as true musical experimentation: little by little, the individual variables that make up a total musical fact are brought to light. Any particular music then appears as one that has made a choice among these variables, and that has privileged a certain number of them. Under these conditions, musical analysis would have to begin by recognizing the strategic variables characteristic of a given musical system: musical invention and musical analysis lend each other mutual aid.


With a guitar in our hands, and rock in our hearts! And in the words of AC/DC: "We roll tonight to the guitar bite, and for those about to rock, I salute you."


Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST..."

Frank Zappa

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Victor Hugo


and this one is just amazing.... I totaly feel u Mr Chesterton...


Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.

I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU.....




I thought I knew you.

But I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth.

You think you know me but you don't.

And that means you don't know what I can do.

You see me as someone who's popular and who has all the answers but that's not true.

I may not always know what I'm doing but I'll try to make things better.

And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help.

I can't do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me, we can do great things together.

I promise if you believe in me, I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream.



John F. Kennedy said,


"The courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers

and pressures. And that is the basis of all morality".

Let The Reigns Go Loose......


Oliver Wendell Holmes once said:
Many people die with their music still in them.
Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live.
Before they know it, time runs out.


So true these words are...... been a long time since i opened this blog and never managed to post anything onto it.......
Well i guess the above lines say a lot about my late girlfriend Divya.....

Man she had so much more in her than wat she expressed...... n thats exactly wat happened with her.. She died unfortunately with her music in her.... her songs... her feelings.... her tunes.... her love.....


And i was thinking wat was worrying me so much today.... ... so i felt the need to let my music out.... for all the world to see...
thought and pondered while playing my guitar on the rooftop to the tune of " Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam n it so reminded me of her....

" Oh where oh where can my baby be....
the lord took her away from me....
she's gone to heaven , so i gotta be good
so i can see ma baby when i leave this world"


and realised that I had to live the dream for her too.... rather than just PREPARING TO LIVE and living a pseudo life....

and so this gentleman here said....
"No man, for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.

So this is the time to decide which face i wish to wear for life so that i dont end up getting bewildered like you Mr Hawthorne...... till next time.....

REST IN PEACE BABES ! ! ! ! !
