Music
I had been thinking seriously about taking to some music or dance form for a while. Recently, it was so much fun to have some of my friends sing some songs(not movie songs) in a friend's baby shower. I toyed with the idea of learning dance but I am not really sure about how consistent I will be in pursuing it. Music.. definitely I can do it since I love listening to music and have always fancied learning some carnatic devotional songs. Golu invitation from a friend reminded me of learning some devotional song in carnatic music. Last year, I was considering singing tirupaavai on every day of the month of Margazhi.. did not get to it but managed to get the Tirupaavai CD sung by Sudha Raghunathan. Once a paati living in our neighborhood told that Singing is the only art form that doesnt need any instrument and you can entertain yourself wherever you are. It can also serve as a great stress reliever. Seeing the amount of satisfaction and happiness, people are getting out of focusing on something other than work, shopping, gymming and sports, I have decided to learn music by Kelvignanam :).
As one saint mentioned, love need no discipline. Heart knows no law. Rules are meant for the head. To sustain love, one needs to inculcate discipline. What I mean by this is, it is going to be easy for me to start on this but I've to have some discipline to become and stay skilled :). Lets see how it goes.
Have you heard this song "Kurai ondrum illai marai moorthy kanna" sung by MS Subbulakshmi?. Oh my God... it is so beautiful especially you can really sense her feelings listening to her songs. For me, a beautiful song is a well sung song in which you can very acutely feel the mood and understand what the character is going through when you hear the song. Do you know whats the term for this aspect of music ?. Thats what I love about SPB. He's a topic for another day :).
