Simple people...with a smile on their face...so talented...so learned...yet so down to earth...humble..such was the experience tonight...when we went for a concert..Hindustani classical..and got to meet such simple people. An eighty year old veteran...performed with the energy of a youngster..the sight of the audience in such small numbers...didn't make him discontent...he carried on..so engrossed into his music...it was like filling the empty canavas with vibrant colours...with beautiful imagination...and the mood..or rasa of the raga was totally extracted and sprinkled all over the audience...!!
All the artists...the percussionist, tanpura wadak, harmonium player... looked so happy while performing...truly enjoying their music....
I straight away felt like....I want to live my life like this.....I want to be there on stage...I want to be with them...learn this art from such great gurus....live out my passion and be happy like them...why can't I be happy chasing my dream?
I think...never in my life till now....I have done something with full devotion..determination....I have not given my everything to one goal.... but now I feel...that this is the goal....this is my destiny....
I don't know if I will succeed or fail......moreover....that also depends on what do I consider as success..! But if I can remain true to my own heart.....and carry on...on my chosen path with complete faith in my decision....that no matter what may come ahead....ups & downs..good times bad times...if I can carry on & on & on....then the journey itself will be fulfilling and satisfying...and ever blissful....and I think this is what the success is for me......the material benefits..money...fame...power..etc..are not at all the benchmarks of success...definitely not for me!
