Power of music

I feel music can be used to unite all communities. Basically it can help people to come to one platform and reamin quiet for some time. Recently I went to a picnic organised by office friends to a water park. As planned, office friends requested me to bring my guitar. I said that I have to bring the amplifier also as acoustic guitar doesnt sound much in a hall without an amplifir. I bought one good amplifier specially used for acoustic guitar recently. Friends insisted to bring both, they also assured that they will carry the amplifier, even if it is bulky.

Morning, everone enjoyed the water games. After lunch, there was ample time to take rest. Everyone assembled and asked me to play. I was feeling shy to play in front of such big crowd. I have done such perfromance twice only earlier. Even then, I have an inhibition or stage fear.

This is because, I didnt get sufficient time to practice. Still, I managed to practice about 5 songs.

I started playing 'Neele Neele Ambar par' (hindi version of 'Ilaya nila') lead in guitar. It came out well. Everyone appreciated and requested me to play it again.

Then I played the starting lead for the song 'Ennulle ennulle' from the movie Valli.

At last I played a melody learnt from a master in Chennai.

As a whole, everyone was quiet watching this performance.

I feel that this should be done regularly, arrange good parties, get-togethers, play music and enjoy.

When everyone was listening to music, their mind was relaxed, think about only the music and not anything else.

I understood the power of music!
