chocolates, music and much more

That's a great way to start a new year, isn't it? :D chocolates, music...wow! I haven't blogged for some time.. and now I have something to write about, something to share or nothing at all.. just some random thoughts.. random is what's natural to me.. that is why the name mosaic as i have mentioned in my first blog. To be honest, this randomness is not completely true.. which sort of makes me a little sad. there is a link.. so deep that it's not apparent superficially.. but i can sense it. For my own selfish satisfaction, i would like to accept my thought process as random.. it gives me a pleasure of being... ummnnn... kind of rebellious!! hee hee.. Am i making any sense to u?? Any way, chuck it!

So.. CHOCOLATES... whoever discovered this divine thing, should be given the highest honor in the word!! According to the history, Aztecs of Mexico discovered chocolates. then, was i an Aztec in my last birth? hee hee.. If I wasn't the one who discovered it, am sure I must have been among those who promoted it! I just love chocolates!! and unfortunately due to my weak vocab i can't stress it enough! To bore you a little, chocolates are thought to have link with levels of serotonin, a hormone, an important one. Chocolate lovers, do take full advantage of this link to serotonin!! :D next time you are tempted to have chocolate when you are just not suppose to, throw in this nice reason... for good health! :D Just chocolate, chocolate ice-cream or chocolate pastry or any other form of chocolate.. enrich life in true sense.. hee hee.. one bite.. just one bite and it's so soothing! have you tried eating rich chocolate pastry with hands and not use a spoon and a fork?? I did.. on 1st of jan! Its lot more fun u know!! when there is chocolate all over your fingers.. you feel like you have really eaten a chocolate.. being sophisticated just doesn't help here, my friends! really, try it out. And if you eat like that in a place like ITPL, where there are lot of sophisticated IT people around you, like i did, it rocks!! It's a pleasure to look at people when they are amazed to see that one can truly enjoy something without worrying about what world says! And on top of it, you have really enjoyed your chocolate pastry! ha ha...

In the first week of jan, I attended this awesome concert by Sanjeev Abhyankar. I know it's a little unusual combination.. to like both western and indian classical music. I love yanni's compositions as much as a raaga sung by sanjeev abhyankar. I do not understand technicalities of either but i listen to them keenly, experience deeply. Even as of now, I can hear One Man's Dream.. as if played somewhere far away..It has an ability to make me forget everything around and take me into a different world, confer a mood... When I listen to Megha malhar, i experience it.. live it.. there is thunder, there is lightening, heavy rains and human emotions in response to all this.. To demonstrate all of it in just five notes of which Megha Malhar is composed of.. man! that's quite something!! Hats off to whoever composed Megha Malhar and many more such raagas! It really is not necessary that you understand technicalities of things that give you pleasure.. or do it the way world has been doing it over years.. It is for you, your happiness..and the fact that it helps you live that moment to the fullest! do it the way you really enjoy it and.. you will smile.. smile from within :)


Cheers!
