This is an experience which is very much unforgettable and was just a year ago during the monsoons. But some things are such that they are treasured all your life.
I usually get swept off my feet whenever I get to see any form of natural beauty, but I developed an affinity for the beautiful Champa tree in front of the science laboratory in our school.
You just look beyond the four walls, and you can’t help looking back. I and my friend composed a beautiful poem on it. We used to sing blues or classicals just looking at that tree.
As the rain heavily fell, the tree formed a penchant canopy in front of my eyes. The glossy leaves, used to be moistened, the tree spread its branches in such elegance, the sunrays used to get reflected and create such radiance … it was a sight for the sore eyes.
I used to feel special and a quaint feeling used to surface my race of thoughts. The beautiful flowers that adorned the tree!! Ah! All that was a contentment for those who seeked it, a feeling of happiness to fill your cup of happiness to the brim and shelter to the lost.
You may come there seeking solitude and go back smiling. I went there, thousands of thoughts crowding my mind and came back feeling contented. That place used to look magnificent …. Really. With someone singing a beautiful song, the rain trickling through your fingers, the green canopy and branches gilding and blooming, I felt so well-composed and sublime.
This is what I will truly miss on leaving my school. These peaceful moments, these privileges, the extravagancy on having experienced that.
There are very few such people who realize these things. And I feel happy and thank God to have given me the ability and mind to feel and think this way.
For the first time in my life I am truly happy to be what I am.”

What will one feel to be standing amidst the blinding mist in front of you, blurring, not only your view, but also your thoughts. Your eyes, watching, an incomplete, pleasant, unmentionable dream, something you can’t see, yet understand. The lush greenery spread out around you, its vibrant and varying shades, give you an idea of its expansiveness, nature’s vastness, how it spreads out its arms to you, in a gesture of welcome.
And then, a tinge of darkness can be seen,
something you had been expecting, longing for.
The elixir of life has come to you. The wait is over
. The change around you is evident.
But your heart craves for something more. The season brings out those wonderful emotions in you, which have been kept, locked away in your mind for a very long time. This is the time when they manifest themselves. The time has come for quenching the thirst of all minds.

Music-a universal magic
It all starts from the eight octaves and where it ends, nobody knows. Its limits are as infinite as the universe, its joy is like a never-exploding balloon, and its passion has an overwhelming six billion followers around the globe. Even animals respond to music, that's what they say. Music is for every occasion-from partying to rock and roll, from everyday life to a wedding anniversary and even to a somber funeral, everything has music embedded in it. It is magic, alright, though we never realize, every beat has our vocal cords vibrating; it causes our adrenaline to pump throughout the body and every muscle aching to jump to the dance floor.
So, what is music? Well in every sense, every sound produced from clapping our hands to slapping a person is music. The more recognized pundits define it as an arrangement of sounds in a pleasing sequence. Well, who cares about music in the prolonged sense- music is something universal, something unique, and something which is soothing to our senses, heart which makes our nerves calm down- the effect is simply astonishing.
Its like a web you have been caught in- a web of music, a web in which where ever you go you find music, music to touch your heart, to take you in a sense, under its control. And why not- music tames even the wildest of beasts- even the critics have no answer to that.
Now, with the development of technology, music is supposed to reach an all time high level. However, that’s not all. As the boundaries of universe are expanding, the limits of music are also expanding. Its like when you try to get near the point where the sun touches the ground, you find it further still. When we try to reach the limits of music, we see that they go still further away from us.
I asked, "What is life without music?" Answer-"In a few words- A waste of time" Truly.... a waste of time....
