Arts ....

When a country or place is in peace, arts and culture thrives .. I read this sentence in some books. I felt the trueness of the sentence several times and the place I am living is known for peace. For your information Chennai never had any trouble because of Religion,Caste and politics in this 25 years of my presence in the city.

I am not here to write about Chennai but about arts. When I want to get out of my tensions, I prefer to hear a good music. The music makes me happy and makes me to think positive as well.

Infact I am not a person who knows what is what in music, I am an average listener. This average listener also gets lot out of music. We all know music never had barriers. This is true to large extent as far as I am concerned.

My knowlege in Hindi is very limited infact I have no Knowledge in Hindi but lot of songs went into every cell of mine. My body soul and even my blood vein got energy from a good song . I never knew the meaning of the songs sung by Great Mohd Rafi, Kishorekumar and ofcourse Mukesh. But their golden voice made me to forget the whole world. I have a huge collection of Hindi music. Which makes me more energetic positive thinking and happy man after it goes deep into my ears. It is pleasure hearing music.

When the music of some other language makes me to be more happy my own Tamil music makes me to love everything around me. Infact Mr.Ilaiyaraja s music makes me to jump and makes me to love my own language.

I learnt to know the meaning of song and the richness of the langauage from my Mother. She likes Tamil verymuch, so she describes the content of the song with simple examples and that practice made me to listen to the language along with music.

Some times the camparison coming out on a song is behind imagination. Crying of a Cloud is rain , this is an example was given by some poet. It looks simple but a poet needs imagination and necessary words to built a quality poetry.

So the place makes art to grow and it is true too. Infact my house is also calm and peaceful, then why I am not singing or playing any instrument .
Well You should be blessed to sing . May be on my rebirth god should bless with some artistic ability.
