Music!

My Daughter is learning to play Clarinet.She is playing quite well for a beginner.She is taking lessons apart from her school music classes.

When I see her play Clarinet and the time, effort and money we are paying into her music lessons reminds me of the time when I was a girl  and wanted to learn a musical instrument so much.In our days music was learnt mostly  by  children who were from the musical family background.We were just too simpletons to learn a musical instrument.For us every thing was just study and study and study.

Today I was listening to some songs of Kumar Sanu(don't ask me why).The songs took me  19-20 years back when I was in college.The effect was not that magical anymore though.I still liked the songs but not to the extent where earlier it felt divine.When he sang about mountains and hills ,I would really see mountains and hills.When he compared the beauty of the girl's eye with the depth of the mountain I could relate to what he was trying to say and many such things.

Today those feeling were gone.The songs felt very artificial and illogical.At times I felt what is he trying to sing, who is he fooling around, so on and so forth.The songs did not make any sense at all.I dont know if it is just me or every grown-up thinks this way.

Why have a  become so dry and emotionless. Everything seems artificial to me.Every thing seems pretentious to me .
