The Metallic Mellow

Behind every act and more precisely behind every artistic expression there is always a deeper chain of thought which connects the entire process. It is this thought process which ultimately culminates in the end product. It need not necessarily be a chain or a complex web of emotions which are intertwined with worldly phenomenon. Something which always brews in you, an emotional outburst, something which touched you can be a driving force. The most accomplished works of art therefore, in my opinion are those which have the ability to kindle that emotion or feeling in the heart of the onlooker. If you can feel it and relate to it, appreciation or criticism which stems from the brain will follow. On being in constant touch, if there is appreciation loyalty ensues and invariably, provided you have that artistic streak in you, a bond is established. You cannot give it a name; there is no need to because as I said you understand what the person is trying to convey and it is the cornerstone of any sort of relationship. Some forms of art have a deeper bonding with the ones who endorse it while other forms somehow fail to exhibit the same attachment.

Rock Talk

As adolescence creeps upon us students, there are definite major changes in our mental set-up. One of those major changes is our fascination towards loud rock music. There’s nothing like a roll and a crash by a good drummer or long mindless amazing play on the fret-board or a foot-tapping riff playing in the background. 

On Modern Physics and Music

The question of meaning of reality was the central subject of a fascinating dialog between Einstein and Tagore. Einstein emphasized that the science had to be independent of the existence of any observer. This led him to deny the reality of time as irreversibility, as evolution.  On the contrary Tagore maintained that even if absolute truth could exist, it would be inaccessible to the human mind. Curiously enough, the present evolution of science is running in the direction stated by great poet.
