My Secret!

Today, am tempted to share a secret... The secret of what music does to me!

As I’ve confessed, am not a trained musician. I do not understand the grammar! All I know is, the music I listen to gets leveraged to great heights, the moment it touches a chord in me! A spiritual chord… Music to me is alchemy! From the deep vales of emotional disturbances, I soar to levels of sheer intoxication and fresh revelations.

Music has been a companion through the best and the most trying periods of my life. The silent strength one imbibes through music makes itself known only when life throws you a monstrous challenge. A situation that raises its ugly hood, instilling fear beyond any sense of comprehension. It was at such a time, I was made aware of the silent powers of music.

The sudden passing away of my husband brought life to a standstill. The impact of such an unexpected shock could have damaged me beyond recognition. Strangely, at that moment a super human power overtook me and enabled me to conduct myself with serenity and peace, much to the bewilderment of onlookers. The general impression most had was, I’d slipped into shock and was unaware of the seriousness of the situation. My calm handling with a presence of mind going beyond human realms in the given situation, strengthened my unwavering faith in an unseen power.

Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma the Santoor maestro, made an interesting observation and credited this courage to my close association with music over the years!
He made me realize the true Power of Music!
