Naan yeh...Why was I born??

Listening to Rahman's latest song on 'why we were born?' Such a simple question yet we fail to find the answer in our lifetime. Partly because we don't think about life in its totality. We are too busy getting past the present day, wanting to finish the daily chores.

Funny that though we are earning much more, can afford all luxuries, we are still dissatisfied n unfulfilled.

We don't give time to simple pleasures -- listening to music n drowning in its soul, holding our beloved's hand and getting lost in their eyes, talks and them. Going for a walk with no destination in mind with a smile on our face.

Everybody knows that it's the small things that matters most. Yet no one really acts upon it.

Where are the sensibilities? the flutter in your stomach?? Where is the child-like innocence? Where are the emotions-- the tear in your eye when you hear a song that touches your heart, sparkle in your eyes at the idea of trying something new??

So why was I born??to fulfill my duties in the various roles that I am given--daughter, friend, sister, wife, mother?? Balance both worlds ?? But what about the ME???

The voice floats in my mind--naan yeh pirendhe, Kanye dhirende...

Even i liked this song a lot...
Soulful song...
Seems like you are a virgo...who understand the flow of the meanings that lies in a song...or else a poem too...
Some songs n poems does presents the depth of the life...but we never notice it...until 1 day,.while resting in the afternoon,listening to the tunes of the songs we notice the beauty in its lyrics too...the things it implies..the life it holds..the questions it asks..
Isnt this feelings beautiful..to think about life beyond what we think about it in our day to day life!
