Musical world and finding the right path in the field..

 Before I begin writing  today's  think piece ,   want to wish all readers a happy new year 2023 . Hope you have all begun the year with a bang  and may have an endless bucket list of "to do" things for the family , for career, for home, for hobbies and much more.

For me musically , there's so much to do  as in riyaaz (the more the better) , everybody knows their limitations, and that music is a vast  ocean. It has enormous spectrum of opportunities and one should know where  he/she stands and what could be the next step. Today  I am just trying to share my thoughts on  how  I am trying to cope with my limitations as in voice type or quality.. 

We see a lot of young and energetic , promising artistes on reality  shows who are so amazing at their craft , I must say just to say "amazing" would be an understatement .

So what about someone like me whose pitch or scale is low ,there is riyaaz  for everything but still scale being low is a drawback ,but can't stop anyone from singing right.  There are so many options like teaching music in a school maybe or at home ... Now teaching online is becoming more popular... Taking workshops on various aspects like voice training, Indian classical music(depends on the level) ,light music, semiclassical music etc..  And there's playback singing, however this requires high pitch  and it's a different genre altogether.  These are only  a few  things that you could do with knowledge of Indian music, still there are many options like stage performers, voice over artistes etc Most important is a person's willingness to learn to enjoy what you are doing  , and keep on learning.. 

Moreover when people have too many things in their mind like  I want to write, teach music etc etc ... I should  not be a "jack of all trades but master of none" ...  So people who are waiting for an answer , let me tell you there are so many legends  who are an inspiration for many , can't name them here because  the list is long,  who were and are good at many things  ...

It's always good to   know where one stands  , be humble , and be ready  to learn at every step of  life and work hard and keep on improving your skill..

This write up is just to  share my thoughts for younger aspiring boys and girls  and for myself to read again and remind that I need to buckup and do something fruitful , it may be a days riyaaz  or imparting your   knowledge to a needy person .

TODAYS MUSICAL TRENDS & FEW SUGGESTIONS IN THE END.

  Hey all !! a musical hello to everyone!! What's that first thing that's comes to your mind when you listen "music", when I say so . Todays trends in musical world have changed considerably. Thanks to the digital world, everything is available on  a click.   Be it Bollywood, Indian , country music, folk music,   hindustani, ghazals, devotional, abhang, natyageet, bhavgeet , and so on , you have a plethora of them . As a student of Hindusthani music, I keep wondering how much can I really digest( obviously its too much to digest and one genre itself suffices for one whole life time to be true and practical). This learning does'nt really stop. And keeps continued life long or as they say  its a quest of the soul for years together and then in its future incarnations  if you believe. Or music is like an ocean the more you dive into it the deeper it seems. Such an interesting discussion, is'nt it.     It could leave you clueless if you don...

A GREAT TEAM AND AN AWESOME LIFE!

    I had a dream once. In that dream I saw all the organs and parts of the body fighting and arguing with each other as to who is the greatest of them all.  The bones said I am very required by the body as I give shape  and form to it otherwise the body would have been a ball of flesh !  The muscles said I give flesh to the body because of which the body looks elegant.  The skin said if I  weren't there  how  would the body cover your ugly frame and shape !  The mouth said i grind the food with teeth and saliva so that the body gets food. Then the stomach added I digest the food and give energy to the body otherwise how would you live?    The excretory organs replied no no , I remove the waste from the body or else how could the body be clean to work well ,the kidneys too echoed yes if the body isn't out of impurities the body wouldn't be alive even for a minute . The eyes mentioned , don't you forget me , if am not there...

THE SENSE OF BELONGING

 It was a feeling of warmth , a sense of belonging , unconditional love coming  towards you , an assurance that someone has come for you , to instill a belief in you that every thing will be taken care of , such was  the hug, the embrace,  of the soft pleasant  breeze . It was very unexpected , which suddenly came in from the window and just then,  a thought came to my mind , could it be really true , can this really happen . It kept me wondering , my eyes moist with mixed emotions , do things like these happen in today's times , it was all but just read or heard in stories or was I just dreaming. I pinched myself just to make sure it's for real. It was that time of the evening when I would wind up everything and had just come into the room to retire , tired with usual routine chores but not stressed . And this breeze woke me up , stirred me, surprised me , a strange excitement ran through my body , my heart was was waiting...
