Enlightened

  

Touched by God, never had I felt surreal, but…it really happened! Seven days back, I was down with critical illness. Could not walk a leg but I had to. Quit my job back in Mumbai, did a blood check up and showed the doctor, all by myself. Unfortunately, no one stood beside me. Fortunately, by God’s grace, a friend dropped me to the airport and I travelled the entire journey on a wheel chair. Boss had asked me, “How will you travel alone?” My mind gave the answer, “I’m strong enough.”

Came back to Kolkata, Oh it was a relief to hear “Kamon achen?”(How are you?). I was already feeling better. Poor health kept getting worser at home and I was finally hospitalized.

Was under good care and affection of the members of the nursing home. Never felt bored as I was always chatting with them. Slowly I started recovering in the name of God. Then came that special day…

Early morning I awoke, got fresh and then I was put up a mask which had medicine for my throat. I closed my eyes, sat in a meditation pose and started to breath with mouth open. Suddenly sound started coming out of my throat. It was crystal clear and I was breathing “Om” constantly through that voice. Slowly I was in trance and Lord Shiva came to me and blessed me. I started chanting and praying for my good health. Brightness came in my eyes. Oh what a feeling!! God met his child, what better can one get?

That day I sang beautifully. Awesome spiritual experience…

Speaking my silence

This is inspired by many songs that I hear day by day. Yes you are getting it right if you have heard a song by Delta Goodrem’ “Let the silence be heard”. Anyways, this entry is not just about silence, it’s about emotions with songs. Music, Oh what a relief! I remember during my sick job I was aloof from music. That “budhiya” did not let me use any kind of electricity except for a fan and tube light(f her). Whatever, (sorry God):-P. So I had been collecting my pains in the corner most place of my heart and locked it for some while. I could not take it anymore to outburst on others. They obviously did not understand me and so took me wrong. I know some people are reading this right ;-). Ha-ha, I feel so good when I write yeah! J.

So, whatever, what-ever! Seriously, no one knows me better than my loved ones. This is the silence which is rushing out of my heart. Music heals me and God resides everywhere in it. The time I was in the nursing home, for typhoid, I was in a two sitter room, there a sweet oh so sweet ol’ Granny was admitted. Every time she charmed me by her stories. She even blessed me when she saw a tall guy entering my room to visit me. I loved her, well a little lesser than my thamma!

Coming back to emotions, lemme name some powerful artists who speak emotions in different ways. Michael Jackson – Heal the world, he was the King of Pop and he showed an altruist within him. Celine Dion, name says it all, she is the diva of Love, the backstreet boys, (ooh, my favorite) and many more. Not to forget the hip hop stars like Timbaland, Beyonce, Nelly Furtado, Justin Tiberlake, rap and rock – Linking Park, Ludacris, Jay-Z many more yaar!

Yo!
