Being musical is always something one can handle with no stress, and it needs no care as music, however it is, whatever it is, it makes a melody and fills the silence.
Celebrating, World Music Day - June 21, I bring you my playlist from morning to the night, from home to the car, to the party venue.
Life said No, but I wanted a Yes.
They gave me jitters, and I gave them the best.
They tried to push me, but I pulled myself back.
They hid me in, but I found my way,
Struggling, juggling, I have always moved on,
Driving my way through the dark tunnels to a brighter road.
I wasn’t ready to jump off,
But she said I can.
I had the fear of falling,
But she said I’ll fly.
I looked within and saw her.
And then we both smiled.
There is a life that’s beautiful,
I had stopped living that.
Now when I have pulled out, I’ll live it to the best.
I was lost, but she helped me come back.
I have jumped off, and now it’s time to fly.
It’s time to breath, It’s time to dance.
It’s time to feel each drop of rain, and leave behind every little pain.
Something was flowing and it was growing.
It covered a distance and came closer.
A sound it was, soft and calm.
Carrying symphony and charm.
I heard it first and then I felt it.
It gave me a smile and my soul danced upon it.
Something very beautiful it is.
Everytime it comforts me.
The mind, the heart, the soul now need it, to breathe.
And as they call it, MUSIC, it is!
I don't know how much it is,
Yet i know its love for sure.
I don't have control on it,
Yet they say, I should feel no more.
No wonder, you've never held me close,
Yet each day I love you more.
You've moved far away, far too long,
Yet my thoughts for you remain as strong.
Today they tell me, that you cash upon my Love,
Yet I'm always there for you, coz my belief in you is strong.
Everytime I talk to you, its special, i Smile,
Yet there is a pain, but you'll never know that something is wrong.
Precilia, a lively girl. She has a wonderful family with loving and caring parents and a cheerful sister. She loves people around her. She loves to laugh around. She loves to dance around. She loves to live. It’s her first year in college. Her first ‘Freshers’. She is excited. She has made a few friends, the closest being Happy and Shanaya. She even has her childhood friend Shramya in the same college. Okay, so it’s the official freshers’ party of college. The stage is set. As each of her college mate comes and performs on stage, she enjoys and claps for them. It’s now time for the band performance. Precilia has heard for the first time about the band. She is excited to watch them perform. As they take the stage, she looks at them. Her eyes suddenly freeze at the guitarist of the band. She does not believe in lovey dovey things, but she is suddenly feeling something similar. The band starts with a song and Precilia is still lost in the guitarist. She feels each word of the song and goes deep in it. The performance comes to an end. She wants to watch more of it though. But without further thoughts, she decide to find out more about the guitarist. One thing’s for sure. She is smitten. If not in love, she certainly has felt something special. She has never felt this way before.
She goes to him directly. “Hi, You guys were simply awesome, I’m Precilia,” is all she could say. “Thanks, I’m Sam”. She couldn’t say anything the moment he spoke. “Precilia”, shouts Shanaya from behind. And that’s all for the day. Post this, she keeps thinking of Sam whole day. She wants to see him everyday in college. She wants to talk to him. In all this while, she makes two special friends, Katyand Ken. She shares a special bond with both these girls. She tells her close friends about her feelings. Since katy is close to Sam, she warns Precilia, of not falling too deep. But it’s too late probably. Precilia is now totally and truly in love with Sam. She wants to be with him. She wants to listen to every song he sings. She decides to let Sam know what she feels for him. She is scared of talking to him. So she decides to text him. She writes a long SMS expressing the special feeling that she has for Sam. But to her disappointment, Sam is not ready. He says No in a soft way though, being careful of not hurting her. But the No is heartbreaking for Precilia. She is completely shattered. She spends quite some days thinking about Sam and then decides to move on.
But to her irony, she just could not. When she dreams, its about Sam. When she thinks, its about Sam. Almost two years have passed now, but Sam hasn’t left her heart and mind. She very well knows, Sam has moved on. He loves a girl named Sherin. But she chooses to ignore that. She is in office, busy with her work, when all of a sudden everything in front of her goes blur. She is breathless and before she could realize whats happening, she faints. Her friends Ken and Adam (Ken’s boyfriend) rush her to the hospital. After all her check ups, all the doctor could say is, “She hardly has a month. It’s Cancer, last stage.” When precilia opens her eyes, she sees her parents, her sister and her friends Ken and Adam around. They all have tears in their eyes. Precilia curiously asks them, “What happened?” She shivers and asks again, “What’s wrong? Please tell me.” At last Ken speaks, “it’s Cancer and not even a month,” and she breaks down.
Precilia is speechless. She does not know how to react. She hugs everyone present there. In some days, she meets all her loved ones. But that special loved one, she realizes is still not around. “Katy, I need to see him once, hug him once. Please.”
The next day, she wakes up, she sees Sam standing right in front of her with a drop of tear in his eye. She is delighted to see him. Ignoring her weak health she jumps out of her bed and hugs him. She cries for long and so does Sam. “I love you Sam”, she says. “I love you too”, the last words she hears. It’s silence around. Everything has gone still. Precilia lived her best moment while ending her life in Sam’s arms and all her loved ones around. She lived her music, her dance, her joy, her peace – all in that one moment. She is happy in heaven as she got her life when she was dying. That one moment of life was her most wonderful moment.
