Sunsets. . .

ಸೂರ್ಯಾಸ್ತ.

I so want to write a long caption for this pic. Read on if you will.

It so happened to me yesterday, as if I were lost in a sea of thoughts. Thoughts crumbled and rumbled, a few were pleasant ones, a few were uncategorized. A mixture of emotions flood through my veins. I could almost feel the explosion. I could see how vulnerable a human as strong as I can get, when a storm of thoughts hit so hard. I could not decide if it were the thoughts or the vulnerability that was more painful. When uncertainty threatens the creature inside you, no surprise you'll shiver and shake. But as the sun set along the horizon, I felt a strange trance, as if to calm down that scared creature in me. I felt breeze in my hair again, I could feel my heart beat normal and I felt a strange relief. If this is what a sunset could do... I wonder how many more sunset I get to see in silence. Grasping every change it make to my mind and body. There is a strange connection to my soul and the celestial bodies. The Sun, the moon, the stars and the skies spell a charm everytime.

Singing words told me : "Never quit!"

Music makes life livable at times. But for me music makes my life. Songs make and break my day. I sometimes sing along and sometimes just listen with all the concentration on the music or the lyrics. Certain times music hide the lyrics and even after a hundred times of rendering, I fail to even remember the pallavi fully. Certain other times, lyrics go so deep into my heart that I'll listen to the song only for the lyrics.
Also a few lyrically beautiful songs make me motivated and gives some hope which were much needed at times. I sometimes think the music and the words are indirectly giving us all some sort of encouragement all through out. Fresh each time and new feel every time. It wipe tears and bring in some joy, wakes us up from the slumbering dream. Roars, yet softly tell us that's not yet.
On that note here's a translation of one such song, a Kannada bhavageethe by N.S. Laxminarayana Bhatta.  Titled "Istu kaala ottigiddu." This song though have heard plenty of time in the voice of M.D.Pallavi makes me apply it to any situation I face.

"Being together and gelled so well,
Have we ever understood our consciences?
Having rowed a thousands of miles on the sea,
Could the boat measure the depth of it?
Forever, having bent so much, as if trying to hug,
Was the blue sky able to kiss the earth?
Having showed so many beautiful faces,
Could the mirror hold any one of them for itself?
Isn't this telling us : nature itself has many "tried and failed, yet trying" cases. Why quit disappointed?
