There is something about music that just transports you to a different place. Makes you more efficient and the person you want to be or even better that what you would want to be. I do not know if you have experienced what I am talking about, but trust me you definitely do want to experience. I have had a number of chances to meet people coming from different backgrounds and talk to them about how they have gone up the ladder of success. Well, one thing is very clear for me, if you are having a hard time getting your things done or if you are facing a lot of obstacles then you are treading on the correct path!
My friend Girish recently sent me an article via pocket which was very interesting and introspective in nature. I read it and could see exactly what I was going through and how to go about these things. Often, in my childhood days I have felt that I was the only one going through a lot of things in life where I could not achieve what I wanted.
Yesterday, I went to literary fest and heard Jhumpa Lahiri, a published and popular author of Indian descent speak. I somehow found a connection between what she had to say and what I felt and have been thinking about all these years. Though I am not a voracious reader or rather not much of a reader at all to be honest, I do believe that what she said was very true. What did she say is the next question that would arise?
She spoke about how lost she was about her origins as she had 3 passports to her name. Though I did not have such a troubled childhood of not knowing my nationality, on a smaller scale, I was unable to identify myself as a person who originated from a particular place. As there have been so many people walking in and out of my life, I strongly do believe that I have a mixed and rather open mind.
All of sudden I realized that I do not know what I want in life and I just seemed to be lost in thought. Not doing anything that I had habituated myself to or convinced myself that it was what I was meant to do. As per my last post I took a trip to explore this lost focus.
The topic of this post is floyd and connections with freedom which is exactly what I had lost. It often takes only one song or one instance to recollect where you were and to get yourself back to that position. For me, it happens to be this particular song by floyd. I remember a setting of the sun beating down on me, early in the morning and having a cup of coffee by the side of a pond where little children were playing.
That moment is a sight that I would love to cherish and take ahead with me. Its a moment which talks about the freedom of childhood as well as the openness in mind for me. It just helps me think and move forward in what I want to focus about.
