The rain fell down ...... on a cold hard
ground, the song kept playing …… No but the
song just stopped ! what happened was her father
came and stopped the CD. All she could think
about was "what’s wrong".
Of course the big question here is "what’s
wrong"? what’s wrong when a child loves music so
much, what’s with the parents here. The one
problem they have is, they just can’t take it
when there children starts developing the taste
for music. Here all that most of the parents can
say or do is music is distraction and stop
listening to that piece of ………. I don’t know
what. Could they be a bit more easy and
appreciative on this?Who’s to blame here? Of
course the answer is our parents but more
precisely speaking I think it’s the society and
the perception that plays the part of the big
daddy. We say we belong to the third world
country category. Its true that we do. Looking
at our literacy rate it’s most probably
pathetic. So our society has a blind feeling
that studying is the only way out. Of course it
is. But is studying only about having an MBBS
degree or an Engineering Certificate? And if you
even consider studying music the whole world
(actually inside the family circle) starts to
tumble and scatter all over the place. Therefore
the best thing one can do is shut one’s thoughts
about music out of his/her brains from the core
itself. How sad isn’t it. For the lame excuses
that our society gives to us that about studying
music is that it would lead us nowhere. That we
may have to struggle a lot and not earn enough.
The worst fear they have is that one will end up
abusing drugs and waste away his life on alcohol
and what not. But in my opinion it’s up to an
individual to decide that, I think that
struggling hard for what one carves for is more
than a divine bliss. In the process they don’t
even realize that with such constricting
thoughts that our society beholds we may be
loosing one of the Mozart’s. the Beethoven or
Jimi Hendrix and so many other great musician
that this generation could create.
So its up to us, we who are aware should be able
to work for it. Let’s start from today, a new
revolution. A musical revolution indeed ……….
While the juke box sings again,
"..................................… don't you
know we are talking about a revolution – sounds
like a whisper ……." |
