To smile or to cry
To be happy or to make someone happy
To love all or to hate all
To fight or be peaceful
To help someone or to run away when someone needs you
To have “Job” written in bold or “Family”
To be truthful or to be liar
To make friends or to break friends
To die or to live…

The language of music
It’s been days since I am thinking of posting about music. Today I got right time when one of my favorite movie score won Oscars. Yup, The Slumdog Millionaire. The passion for music made me write this post. My collection of music is growing and growing and growing. There is no restriction of language when it comes to music. I listen to music in many languages and it is a global language. Language is not a barrier for a music buff. Though Hindi, Marathi and English makes most of my music, I do listen to Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Konkani music. Not all of it I understand but still it leaves effect on me. If the song is sad song without knowing the meaning of a single word the feeling comes to me. If the song is romantic then it leaves that effect.This is the beauty of music. It is not just me, ask any true music lover. You’ll get a similar reply.
For the past few month I’ve lost my interest in music. The reason is the quality of music. Now a days it is very difficult to find a good combination of lyrics and music which together forms music. And if at all a song has good music it fails on lyrics side. It hurts when you find lyrics killing a song. I don’t want to give examples here. The current hot genre is the Rap music. It sounds good in some tracks but otherwise it is not at all good on ears. This is my opinion. You may be one of the greatest rap follower or rap fan. But not me. A good lyrics also helps a song to get popular.
My passion for music started when I entered the college. Within a year I became an avid Rock fan. I used to listen to a lot of variety from Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Metallica, Nirvana, Sepulatara, and some other selected tracks from various composers. It all started with “Wherever I may roam” by Metallica. “In the end” remains my favorite rock track. The lines “I tried so hard and got so far, In the end it doesn’t even matter” pictured my life at that stage. (Yeah you guessed it right. The Back papers..:P).During that stage I got my favorite track “Stuck in a moment” by U2 and another one “Walking Away” by Craig David. I get goosebumps when I recall those moments and but feel proud I got out of those successfully. Music played a big role in that. Music has the soothing effect which can heal many wounds not cured by any medicine.
To make this post the longest post so far in my blog, I am adding a list of my favorites track.
Hindi:
1) Zindagi Ke Safar Mein – Kishore Kumar
2) Aanewala Pal – Kishore Kumar
3) Main Zindagi Ka Sath – Mohd. rafi
4) Chukar Mere Man Ko – Kishore Kumar
5) Tere Bin Jeena Nahi – Bali Brahmabhatt
English:
1) Stuck In A Moment – U2
2) In The End – Linkin Park
3) Walking Away – Craig david
4) Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love – George Benson
5) Be With you – Enrique Iglesias
It’s difficult to control that list and I somehow did that. Yeah I am great. 
It is indeed difficult to choose when you have zillions of songs. There are many more which I love to listen. I cannot list all of them here. Keep listening to music. I hope you were doing the same while reading this…
How to be shameless – 5 simple steps
Being shameless is one of the greatest quality you’ll possess. Ask me. I’ve turned myself into a shameless person in last few years. So with all that experience in my pocket I am writing this guide.
1) Dress unconventional: Do not comb hair. Do not use deodorant and go for a wedding. You’ll hear this word “shameless” at least once. This is just start. You have way to go ahead.
2) Talk loudly and sing sad songs. If you possess a bad voice then nothing can be better. Use this god gift to improvise and to get closer to being shameless.
3) When in toilet, mostly in public toilets, start singing “I like you” or “Hello how are you”. You’ll grab some immediate attention also.
4) When in public place and there is a bit of silence, start cursing your boss with all the bad words you know. Make sure it’s loud enough to be heard by others.
5) Do not wash your clothes. Wear them for as far as you can without washing. Try wearing jeans. It is an official wear for such people. It doesn’t need much washing.
Follow these five simple steps and you’ll surely achieve your shameless degree. If you have any problems do comment here and ask for help. I’ll reply you as soon as possible. Who else can help you other than a shameless person.
Peace and a hug
Peace is what we all want. But we all know that all that we want, not necessary we get it. Same is true with peace. We fight, we invade, we war to get peace. At the end of it we are in a situation where there is no one left who want’s peace. There is no way to peace, but peace is the way.
We haven’t figured out what is peace. Peace is to have a bigger stick in your hand. Peace is not that there shouldn’t be war, there shouldn’t be fight. Peace is the ability to cope with fight.
Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.

It’s soon enough
Hellowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…..
I feel like spamming with this message. I am back online after six days. Six days without internet. Imagine I didn’t switched on my PC for a whole day. I can now say that’s possible. So whenever you think something is impossible, then go offline. Things become possible in real life.
Out of the six days, I must say I wasted two days in configuring one of my script offline on WAMP. I haven’t figured out how to make changes yet. After two days of wasting I thought better use these days for some reading. I started reading a book which I bought from library and finished fifty pages in two hours. Conclusion.. I have not forgot how to read books.
Then internet became irresistible and I logged in from my office PC. Yesterdays post was from that PC. I don’t like to use it as it contains lot’s of spywares. I am very evil. Why should I repair it for free? I have to change password for my blog now.
The “Very soon” was really “Very soon”. I am online within a day.
“Kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho to puri kayanat tumhein usase milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai”.
I’ll translate it.
“If you have a strong desire for something then the whole world tries to get you closer to it.”
Till you desire for desire…
