Heard melodies are Sweet but Unheard melodies are Sweetest!

Today, we had a bit of rain…slight drizzling actually. One of the things I really enjoy doing is sitting on the swing on the balcony, watching the rain and singing a song. Eating a hot baji or drinking hot bounvita would be an additional treat. It’s real great to see the rain coming down…the smell, the colour, the breeze… and if you get to see the rain start beating down some 100 metres away from you and slowly come towards you…my! Nothing to beat nature. The thing about nature is that it is up to us to enjoy it. Two people can look at the same scenery and think differently. It’s the same with clouds…I always seem to see something in clouds…either an animal or a shape or an alphabet… it’s a great feed for your imagination. I remember this tamil song, where the girl sings that she sees her lover’s face each time she looks into the clouds. Very true! It’s up to you to make out images…totally your imagination. Whatever is on your mind, will take shape. Brings into my mind, John Keat’s poem lines…”heard melodies are sweet, but unheard melodies are sweetest” It would be great to ask a kid to describe the shape of a potato…you’ll get so many different answers that you’ll actually be surprised! So, doesn’t this tell us something? That we look at things the way we want it to be…and it would do us good to look at it from other angles. Look at events from other’s point of view and maybe we can avoid a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. A great way to maintain good relations and stay happy!
