Music is enough for lifetime....

.........but lifetime is not enough for music.......

I love music just as much as any average ordinary human being loves it......needless to say, just as others, I am too confined to a genre/class/section that defines my taste.......for me, music mostly means melody......a definition from wikipedia.....(pay attention to the bold marks):

"Melodic music is a term that covers various genres of non-classical music which are primarily characterised by the dominance of a single strong melody line. Rhythm, tempo and beat are subordinate to the melody line or tune, which is generally easily memorable, and followed without great difficulty."

I have known people who have varying taste in music......and they often switch the genre according to what suits more to their mood.......I don't really have contrasting taste for different occasions.......for me, good music is an amalgamation of sweet tunes, noiseless beats and understandable lyrics.....for the very reason of subtle lyrics, I am not a big fan of Ghazals......with all due respect and with no offense meant, I really don't have patience to wait for Jagjit to finish singing his lines and then join those lines together (provided, I remember from where he started....) to interpret and understand what he had sung and then ultimately relish the deeeeeeep seated idea of the composition......nah!...not my cup of tea........I am ok with western music too, but only as long as their lyrics make sense, they have mild harmonious tempo, they are not squeaky.....and have an acceptable degree of "groaning and moaning"....rest is all noise....I must say....

It is really difficult to list my fav bollywood singers because I like all of them except Adnan Sami and Anu Malik.....(well, not really a singer)....in contemporaries....I like Shan, Lucky Ali, Abhijeet.....In legends....it is undisputed Rafi (and sometimes Shailendra).....there are some other talents sprouting in bollywood (KK, Kunal, Kailash kher etc) who have sung good songs.....but have long way to make a never lasting impact....

To be honest....I am not at all music aware....neither have notions of being one....except names of a few musical instruments....I don't know anything beyond in the music.....in musicians' parlance, I am but a "kala kauaan" who doesn't really know what music is....my mother always wanted her children to be nice in singing and dancing....she wanted us to join music classes.....now when I listen comments from my friends on my singing....I realize that would have been a sheer wastage of money.....people who have the talent of music and singing impress me a lot....and I believe it's a noble innate quality which not everyone is blessed with.....
