Music, melody, a charm ain't it. Hearing it pleases our ears, soothes our minds, makes us calm. I think I've already justified the importance of music in a single line!

I love music too, listening to it on my computer, radio, TV wherever possible. It's very important that there is music in our lives, without which, life no doubt becomes tad boring and monotonous. It's good enough that it cheers you up, call it a mood lifter. We all listen to music, on our iPod, whil playing games, while watching movies, even from our mobile phone and in our cars too.

We can't even imagine a world w/0 music!

I'll tell you a secret to hear geniune music:-

-Get up early in the morning.

-Get cleaned and dressed(nothing fancy).

-Go to the nearby field/park and find a spot to sit beside the trees.

-Stay there and meditate for some time. 

Won't take long before you hear the melody of the birds and squrrels.

It's harmonious isn't it, and it has such qualities that can put you in a deep trance and even deeper state of mental peace and rest.

Even maybe playing the "harmonium" or the "guitar"(not the electric one please!) has similar effect on our minds and heart(it's proven that the hear beat soothes down).

So go ahead, dash with those tunes.

We all dream of a perfect holiday, away from the city, away from the touches of mobile network, no more loud cars honking all day, no more threatening calls from your boss. It's just you, or more if permit. It's all the more away from any civilization.

Whenever I think of such a paradise, two places come up to my minds:-

1. The Amazon forests

2. Isolated islands north of Australia

I once saw a programme on Animal Planet, and I must say, it left me awestruck. The breathtaking beauty of the islands, of those birds, I wish I could post their pictures here too, but try as I might, I can't find them. These places have the quality to put any one to the deepest of the calmness, pushed into depths with nothing but just the sounds of the birds chirping, or the rustling of the trees, or maybe the waves crashing down like the very Poseidon in joy.

Ti's just so interesting, how the power nature can work such wonders right in front of us, and yet many of us never pay it the slightest heed till we actually experience it.

Such is the case with animals too, but that will have to wait for now.
