Why work when you should play

I have attended a piano recital this afternoon. Such event too is a form of meditation. You seat in your chair and the rich colorful cords reverberate through your consciousness. Some melodies evoke your childhood memories; some other tunes simply evoke pleasure and admiration for the composer and the pianist. Looking at the pianist it is easy to see how strongly he feels his craft with his entire being! He plays from a deep well grounded center of understanding. He connects with the audience, with the instrument, with the spirit of the composer, and with the legions of artists who like him put their best efforts to interpret the composition before him. I truly believe that such model of interdependencies, understanding and balance is the model for how anybody should pursue their job. If you do not, why bother! Who will want to listen to a piece of music you do not believe in? Passion and understanding are essential for a good performance, be it in medicine, law or business.

The beginning

Why am I here? Who am I blogging for? A friend of mine has just introduced me to the idea of blogging. I am mostly blogging for myself. I am using public writing as meditation to voice my Ideas out loud. This is my way of chanting aummmm…. having completed my dual masters degree over the last two years I think I know exactly what I can contribute to this world. The certainty makes this time perfect for reflection. Although It is high time to start contributing to the society that has taken time to uber educate me first I want to harmonize my idea of self with the universe and reflect on the music that emerges, to make sure there is no dissonance anywhere in the system.
