While you were sleeping...!

Title inspired from an article I happened to read in one of those weekend magazines in my desert city. Unlike the usual reads full of shallow materialism, this particular article spoke about Brianna, a nurse and Nate Lytle , a miracle survivor of a disastrous accident. How Brianna never guessed when she started her nursing shift that she would fall for a patient in coma…how she used to speak to Nate while he was unconscious and how she felt that one of a kind..strange connection with him… which happens only once in  a life time… when love gets eternal…

At a time when I was almost doubting the existence of anything ‘unconditional’ in this unforgiving world… God made me browse through the pages of that magazine..when yet again.. my beliefs about life..love..and the existence of that ‘someday’ when everything falls in place.. were rekindled. For that’s the way with life… the unique strange thing about it.. when we are almost on the verge of giving up.. life gives you something to hold on.. something to start living all over again. True that sometimes it’s better not to worry about not having someone by our side.. or to worry about not finding that unique kind of connect with anyone… instead… cherish each moment of being in love.. with life.. with all the good and bad it throws at you.. spend the rest of your life making memories.. happy..positive..serene ones...

Sometimes we all find love in the unlikeliest of circumstances.. when you start looking at life with a whole new perspective.. ‘Veyilaay oru naal’ from the Malayalam movie ‘Unnam’ is one such song which got to me when I had almost lost touch with my reflection…my blog. Didn’t want to wait till tomorrow to write about this track. Penned sacredly by Rafeeq Ahmed sir and given the soulful tune by Sri John P Varkey, ‘Veyilaay’ is a heavenly track which touched my soul…

Though I could not appreciate or relate to the way the song has been used in the movie,  I just could not look through the soul of the fabulous melody which beautifully captures the most unconditional form of the divine emotion. Again another realization that.. quite often things are not exactly the same as they appear…shallow turns out to be deep and what appears to be the most intense thing..turns out to be nothing but chaff. It’s unfortunate that just like the song.. many of us look through he abundance we have in our lives… just not content..always looking for something else.. when some where during the course of search.. we lose ourselves… when we eventually realize what we have left behind is what we needed the most… what we crushed under our feet is what gave meaning to our existence…

While the song begins to play one more time in my phone… I close my eyes and wish that at some stage ..we all find that priceless unconditional love Nate got from Brianna…  as for my part, I wish to be that dew that melts away after watering your much dried soul.. when it rains ..wish to be that ray of light which would make you warm and  then fade away… wish to be that prayer which will keep you safe.. just to be that silent breathe that follows you where ever you go living your life. In a world I can be anything…I wish to be myself…! Yes, there is dew in my desert..

‘Who wants to live forever.. I would rather live my memories with you and breathe my last…If you are cold at night..let the promise of my love for you..cover you warm..’

PS: Thank you 'achayan' for the song Mp3. Priceless gift

Welcome change!!!!!!

It always is amazing to see good music making a comeback… like never before. Am more than elated to have listened to the fantabulous tracks from the latest Malayalam movie ‘Bachelor party’. This album is so close to heart for a zillion reasons. Not always do we sit back..take some time out to look for some good songs..just to see what is happening in the world around. Am so glad I gave that time for myself.. and for the music that is buried deep inside me. What a miss it would have been if I missed listening to ‘ Kaarmukilin’ and ‘Vijana Surabhi’ from the album. Simply spectacular and brilliant compositions. Can call this album the ‘true’ come back of the immensely talented musician friend… my adopted brother..Rahul Raj!!!! Another reason to look upto the musician in him….

The magic that was created by him with the movie ‘Ritu’ has been recreated and in a much more soul catching way through these simply brilliant compositions. Songs that would make you fall in love with music all over again… ‘Kaarmukilin’ is a fabulous romantic melody and Shreya Ghosal’s mesmerizing voice has done the magic again in Malayalam music. She is the real ‘mishti dohi’ and totally will make you love all her songs just by the way she renders it with all her passion… honesty and her simply out of this world voice.

‘Vijana Surabhi’ is haunting..its addictive. One track that always has you mystified and makes you lose your way in the unknown depths of the song’s soul. Remya Nambeesan’s voice suits the song so well and the classical bits in between just add life to the track. Totally like icing on the cake. Its undoubtedly a treat for a music lover’s ears and you would wish the song never ended.

Of the two tracks I have developed this bias towards  ‘Kaarmukilin’ simply because of the tune and the lyrics.. and the  very feel good factor about it… its totally a whiff of fresh breeze that will breathe life into you..I totally believe we all need these kinds of welcome changes once in a while in life. Those changes which will make the monotony of a quiet life fade away! In the end over and over again life teaches me..music is all that there is… and music is something that will never let you down.. through all the seasons of life. Good music is back… and it is back here to stay!

True that music quite often takes us out of the actual and makes us create our own dreams…like Aldous Huxley even I believe that “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music”Music soothes the mind and heals the heart.. it truly flows from heaven to the soul of the listener…

“Music was my refuge..I could crawl into the spaces between the notes and turn my back into loneliness...”
