P4:Notes of Life!


You hear me when you pray to God, You hear me when someone calls You hear me when the birds sing,You hear me in the stormy winds. You hear me when you clap your hands,You  hear me anywhere you travel on this land. 

Who am I?  

Good morning fellow toastmasters and dear guest.
A form of art that dates back to 7000 BC . A form of art which always was a reflection of present times.  A form of art through which you can easily communicate your feeling and thoughts.  Let me introduce to you all the love of my life :Music. The Magical Music, mention of which itself brings enormous melodies to our mind.  Let me guess when I say 'MUSIC'  (hum the tunes) ** 

Some might hear"hum honge kamyab"** while some" tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam"**  a few might also hear"Summer of 69"**  and if I am guessing it right ...some might also hear "Batameez dil"**  That is the magic Music creates around us.
 It’s like a memory. It will stay forever in your heart, and no one can take it away from you. 

  I met music for the first time during my  first session of the piano class... 
  or was it before that when my mother put me to sleep with her lullaby’s?? 
nah! I guess it was my Singing and Dancing Barbie that introduced me to music.
 Of how much I remember about my life, Music has always been there with me. 

 Like a loving mother, who selflessly gives without expecting anything in return.
 Like a guiding father, who motivates me when I give up  before reaching my goals.
 Like a patient companion who manages all my mood swings.
 Like a Secret lover who lets me escape to places I never new existed before.
 Like my long lost friend that when coming back gives  so much of joy ,it makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time. 
Like a effective medicine that heals my pain and
 Like my dear grandmother who tells me endless versions of the same story over and over again.  
Sometimes listening to Music gives such a  serene experience , it feels as though I have attained Nirvana!
Music has been influencing us in numerous ways,ways we cannot even imagine.  
When combined with beautiful thoughts or words.Music gifts us with Songs. 

Songs help us to connect to the society .
There is a song  for every moment,  ever feeling ,every situation.
There is a sweet music  for your ears ,a song or two to soothe our fears. There is that special song for special someone and that song for the person you hate. 
There is that song that describes exactly how you feel and a song for the way you have felt before.
Sometimes  you hear a song and it makes you so happy that you get up and dance. Sometimes you  hear a song and can’t help but cry. 
Some songs make you want to start over.Some make you want to make things right.
 Some encourage you to make a move in life, while some even convince you to move on in life. 

 A lot of people might consider it  insane but I constantly have some or the other song running in my head.I have a small musical world out there. 
(Sing the song)**
 At present it is "Frustiyon nahi Moora"** 
When  I am extremely happy about something-"Yahoo!!!"**  
When I see  a smart guy cross my way "Saamne yeh kaun aya dil mein hui hulchul”** 
When I miss my friends “I will be there for you..coz u r there for me too"** 
When I am stuck with a problem…"and I will try to fix you"**  
When it rains “Chak dhoom dhoom”** 

and if I am still sounding crazy...I already have ''haan haan mein crazy hoon"** playing there. 
 Music gives me the freedom to create. 
 As they say "Take a piano: keys begin, keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You're infinite... And on those keys, the music that you can make.. is infinite." 
I truly believe if something has to change for better in todays world,Music will definitely be at our rescue as it has always been. 
 Together with music, we can create good, We have what it takes and we definitely should. 

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination  and life to everything.” 

To conclude I would like to say   “Life is much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.” 

                                                                            So Let the Music play !
