What is music? What role does it play in your life? Have you listened to most of it, or some of it? Is your hunger for more music is still on?

For many people, music serves much more than a source of entertainment. One can call music as lifeline, staple food, oxygen, travel friend, gym partner, walking companion, cooking buddy, relaxation source, and sleep guide. People say it's the best medicine for the mind. Mind is generally a place of chaos, it looks somewhat like a busy station or cluttered closet or office desk. If one doesn't clear things from it, it's difficult to add or keep more, be it ideas, thoughts or plans. For most of the humans, this is a difficult task, a notion that is rarely realized or practiced. If they do realize, they are clueless as to how to do it. You will agree that the thinking process is a loop mechanism, and most of the times, an endless cycle, which is very difficult to break. Experts and wise people have devised some methods to deal with it. Practices of Meditation, Prayers, Yoga, or concentrating on activities like exercise, drawing or painting, and listening to music are some of...

Good Quotes

"People need routines. It’s like a theme in music. But it also restricts your thoughts and actions and limits your freedom. It structures your priorities and in some cases distorts your logic." -Haruki Murakami

Declutter your current lifestyle, keep bare minimum and gain ultimate peace

Technology has taken deep roots in our daily life. It would not be false if I say, it has taken over us. Be it your mobile, computer, TV, wifi, bikes, cars, or similar materialistic things. Your holidays are no more peaceful holidays, they are constant exchange of text, pics, news, and information. The mind never is at peace when awake. It is struggling to keep with huge amount of information, most of that it cant process or do not require at the first place. One should ask a simple question, do I really need this much information or resources to live a peaceful life. Is it not a peer pressure to keep up the things, most of which you don't require. The mobile phone with most of us today are powerful gadgets with huge capacity to do many things. They are even better than most of the efficient people on earth today. A phone is not merely a phone, but much more than that, it's your camera, social connection, news point, and professional need. Imagine the number of photos clicked...

Challenge yourself, enhance your learning, gain wisdom

One of the good point about Gandhi Ji was that his mind was restless. He always tried something new, he never was contented with his present. He never thought once in his life that he is settled, at peace and satisfied. I think this is one of the many reasons that he was a great person. He never tried to hide his mistakes/faults. He denied primary education to his children, his elder son was very unhappy with him for this. Unfortunately, this was also one of his experiment with life. But many of his other experiments like cleanliness, ahinsa were globally appreciated and accepted. So, don't stop yourself from experimenting, just because of the fear of failing or non-acceptance by society. I agree there is risk, but risk is there in anything and everything in life, the only difference is our faith in the outcome. We are generally happy in taking those calculative risk, where the results are more or less favorable. Challenging yourself is the best thing a person can do all his life...
