Music & Life!

I feel lucky because I have grown up listening to music!
My father is a small business owner who likes music and he thought listening to music makes laborious mundane tasks easy. He was so right. Everyone working in my father's company enjoys it and music became so integral part of their life too! They became versatile in listening to songs and they can tell from the music who the music director is. During that time, most of the songs are listened in radio. They even take quick bets on whether the next song in radio will be a male or a female singer or duo. It was really fun to watch that.

When I was in the middle school I had a friend. His dad had a music player that can also record music. During that time, we find that so fascinating. One problem is that his dad gets really upset if someone is messing with it. So what we do is, we use it when he is not around and when we leave we won't leave a trace. We record our voice and play it and try to decide who is the best singer! We really enjoyed that. His father also owns English classics and I liked them. I had no idea what albums they are. Only recently I found that the albums are Beatles, Boney M etc. In a recent conversation with his dad, I told him about this and he said, I had always known that. Since you guys liked it, I didn't say anything. Wow! so much for our smartness! Parents surely are smarter than they look!

When I was high school, one of my friend played some music. I didn't understand a single word of it but I absolutely love the music. It was Micheal Jackson. We have listened to it so many times and it's so beautiful when we listen to it in full volume. We love it but our neighbors complain. My friends even tried a moonwalk dance in a school function.

I was listening to a interview of a famous music director and he was asked what a good music is. He said even if one person likes it that's a good music. I liked that answer. There is so much good music which we will surely fall in love is out there. You can listen to it so many ways but the problem is knowing about it. For instance, I recently listened to an album from a Egyptian singer. I knew it only because my friend who is living there told me. I feel very grateful when someone introduces me to some music which I like and many of my friends have done that. What I found is typically we can't find this on our own. Surely, You can search in youtube with best songs in german or japanese. The problem is that great songs are not tagged like that. I think technology can solve that problem. Who knows folks at Google or Apple might be already working on it!

Without music, life would be a mistake. Music clears everyday dust from our souls.
I recently read an interesting definition of hobby. Work is something you do for living. Hobby is something you do to keep you human. Many many people have listening to music as their hobby and the power of music is definitely making and keeping them human.

Stories and Quotes for reference

A wise man cracked a joke; the audience laughed hysterically.
He cracked the joke again; a few laughed;
He told the joke one more time; no one laughed;
He said "you don't laugh at the same joke again; why you cry over the same problem again and again"

When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I wrote down "Happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life.
