Music is Divine
January 17, 2008
Imagine the world without oxygen. There would be no life forms on earth if such a scenario exists. Now u must be thinking why I started this way, according to me music is something like oxygen. I cannot imagine life without music. Music is present everywhere around us and inside us. A good music is one that pleases the mind. It can act as a very good stress buster that is very much prevalent today. Music has no barriers, has no language, caste, color, division based on economic status. It pleases everyone alike. Although there are different genres of music, it is universal in nature. Even animals and plants respond to music. Studies have proved that plants exposed to music have grown healthier and quickly and it is the same with some of the animals .Music has the amazing power of changing people’s lives. Many things can be expressed in the form of music and people tend to react better to music rather than say just a speech. There have been many instances where musicians who have tried to convey some social messages through their music have found overwhelming success in their venture. Every one has his/her own opinion on what is good music all about. According to me anything thing touches the soul of a person can be termed as what good music is all about. For example, a child’s cry can be music to a mother’s ears. Music can really inspire anyone who is down and is looking for some inspiration. The powers of music are unimaginable. Music it will continue to entertain people of all generations forever. Well that is all I could come up with. There are lot more things that I would have liked to write but I could not come up with the words.
Joy of outdoor games
January 13, 2008
This topic might make most of us go back to the good old days of childhood when we used to run around and play in the hot and burning sun without the pressure of the world upon us.Now the entire world(at least the majority) is mesmerized by the non real world of computer games. Part of the reason for this shift is the lack of good grounds and the lack of togetherness that is persisting in today s world.
We might play the popular football or cricket game on PC but its no where near to the joy that we get while playing outdoor football or even cricket. I can still remember the days when I used to play cricket in the burning hot sun in my village, sometimes even bare foot. Nothing can match the joy that we get when we flex some muscles while playin these outdoor games. I also remember my school days during which I used to wait for holidays so that i can play cricket, hide and seek,laggoree(A local game in which we throw the ball at stones and regroup all the stones while avoiding getting hit by the ball), lock and key,badminton and many more innovative games. Most of these games used to be played in the streets and they do not require a play ground. At least I used to play them on the streets. I used to leave my house in the morning and come back for lunch and then again go out and return home at night.Playing with many people is surely fun to the core. Just the assembly of so many people was a joy to be in.
Only in villages can we get to see groups of children playing outdoor games.Its becoming more and more of a rare scene in the cities.I can see school kids already carrying the burden of t he world on their tender shoulders. There might come a time when games will be restricted to indoor games or even worse only the computer games.There s nothing wrong in playing on the computer as I myself do get hooked on to the computer games but from time to time playing outdoor games relaxes the mind and also its a very good exercise to our body.Even the PET classes in the schools are taken by other subject teachers in most of the schools.Also many of the schools do not even have a playground in their school premises. All this is sad and the future is going to be even more worse.At this point I remember the popular animated series that comes on disney channel “Recess”. Its focus is mainly on the outdoor games.
There is a popular saying that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, its time we changed it to something like this “All work and only playing a on computer makes Jack a dull boy”.
There are still a lot more things that I could have written but it might get boring so I leave it to the people reading this blog to comment and share their experiences.
