Its the system at fault... so what?

we say this every time something goes wrong and we are frustrated about it. Bombay attacks, power cuts, unsafe cities, irregular power cuts, bad roads and all that...

And yes it is the system as a whole that is wrong more than right, and it effects every one of us.
In its own little way, it makes us pay for its shortcomings, and we have to just adjust.

Of course everyone wants to change it, but how? and thats where it all gets stuck, we we take a deep sigh and move on, fighting among each other in a traffic jam, and cursing the govt for horrible roads and reduce our average life time... studies have shown that mumbaikars life is 7 years lesser than India's average.

So what do we do? keep living/dying everyday? maybe if we can start cleaning our own sub modules in the 'system', we could clean it up some day... make sure our sphere of influence is better day by day and we will gradually get out of this mess... after all, its our nation!

Percussions

Percussions... My latest craze...

Just jump into the world of beats.. small taps, kiss of chalk, a faint hiss behind your ear, sudued drums, sounds of tabla..

Just close your eyes and you will feel as if you are in the middle of the first rain of the season, in between woods, alive, fresh.. with eyes closed, you can feel these small drops dancing on your skin, taking it into a trance of its own...

Listen to Tabla Beat Science, Ananda Shankar and State of Bengal, Trilok Gurtu and others you find...

:)
