Happy Birthday to ma blog!!!....

Hmmm...... Happy Birthday to my blog!!!!!!.....

Sounds weird huh??... wishing a blog..... but hey.. who cares.....

So.. its been one year since i opened this blog.... One whole year!!!!!...... n in this time..... i haven't really written anything here...... at least nothing worthwhile......

My sole purpose for opening this blog was to THINK ALOUD.... coz i hav always had sooo much to say.... but haven't ever said anything aloud.. atleast not wen it counts.. writing it always seemed it easier than saying it aloud.....
I needed a place to vent my thoughts.... a sounding board(or a writing board to be precise...)
I hav never been the one to talk about myself to ppl... hey.. not because m so modest or a saint tat i don't want ppl to be disturbed by my problems.... It was the sheer fear of being laughed at.. embarrassed... or simply d fear of being considered a whiner...
Even now if u ask me.. wat is my problem.... i wudn't hav an answer...
Sounds stupid huh???... yesh it is.... so.. i thought maybe i cant say wat i feel.. wat i think... maybe i can write it down......
But, something still holds me back.. even from writing it down..... maybe its sheer laziness.....
nah!!!.... i can write pages n pages... widout making any sense at all....
So.. if not laziness then wat... Maybe, the same fear... fear of not being understood....
or most importantly the fear of being misunderstood....

FEAR!!!!!..... i truly hate tat word..... i mean i fear the word fear.... coz i fear so many things..... but the biggest fear..... is of not being needed.. needed by ppl... u so desperately need...

Nyways.. m going off topic here.. See!!!!.. i tend to write too much widout making any sense at all.....

the purpose of this post is not just to wish my blog A Very Happy Birthday!!!!(happy??.. hmm.. hav to think about it....)
But also, to try to overcome my fears.. n hesitations in thinking aloud..... Yes... m gonna write watever crap i can come up wid.. watever i think... watever i feel.... regardless of the accceptance for it!!!...

So here's three cheers to thinking aloud!!!..... finallly!!!!.... better late than never........

Music

Luv anythin from classical to rock, but entirely depends upon my mood.. bryan Adams, Enrique, Darren Hayes, Blue n of course Backstreet Boys n westlife, love oldies sung by Mohd. Rafi saab , Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Geeta Dutt n so on.. gulam ali saab, SPB, P. Susheela amma, Janaki amma, K.J. Yeshudas, Chitra... carnatic music n singers... many to name....to name a few.. Madurai Mani Iyer, M.D. Ramanadan, D.K. Pattammal, M.S.Subbulakshmi, D.K. Jayaraman, Balamurali Krishna, Maharajapuram Santhanam, Hyderabad Brothers, Bombay Sisters, G.NB... god!!!... many more.... n then thr is sonu nigam, KK, shaan, shreya ghosal, nusrat fateh ali khan saab, Ustad Sultan Khan Ji, Pandit Jasraj ji, ali zafar, Rahet Fateh Ali Khan Saab, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kailash kher... N not to forget our gr8 composers like A.R. Rehman, Illayaraja, Ismail Darbar.. many many more.... thou i like all of 'em.. my first love has always been n always will be classical music.. nothing can ever exel tat... ppl who really understand it wud agree wid me, tat classical can be njoyed wid d same elan or infact more than any kind of music.. n my personal luv will b carnatic classical.. n having learnt tat has made me understand many intricasies of music.. the seven basic swaras invoke magic wen composed together in d ryt way.. n m proud say tat we hav many maesteros who hav invoked tat magic.. the list wud be endless if i start naming them.. so wat i wud like to say is tat music is divine n it can create magic if u let it reach u..ur heart.

TV Shows

just browse through the channels.... nt very much interested... catch up on some serials if i get time.. but very rarely... Recently completely hooked up with SAREGAMAPA.... & SVOI the singers are absolutely awesome.... n create magic everytime they sing... their talent is undisputable.....

Like watching programmes based on debates etc.....

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR.... has such a movie been ever made.... no!!!.... every child.. every person for tat matter is unique.. is special... y do we differentiate a child who thinks differently... who has a different vision of things, of life, of nature, of character, of behavior... wen adults dont hav it in them to acknowledge their fears, apprehensions, shortcomings.. n cover 'em up with stubborn attitude n tenaciousness... Then why????.... Why blame a child.... why??.. dont we take time 2 understand 'em, help them and most importantly LUV them and ACCEPT them the way they r... y compare... y control???... y not cherish n let the child blossom.. y???...... d list of movies is tooo loooong... m total movie buff!!!!.... n m certainly nt ashamed of sayin tat aloud
