Raaga

Anyone who wants to experience ulitimate 'rasa' of life can find the same in the number of ways as you find them spread sporadically here and there. One can see, hear or smell some of the best materialistic resources. You can gain satisfaction by vicarious joy in these sources. Or for that matter one can even gain first hand experience by indulging into various joy emnaters.
Cheap thrills or life threatening pleasures can give a high from rushing adreline. But..
Can anyone explain the joy of spreading a drop of water on thurst ladden tongue on a hot summer day?
Can any one explain the joy of getting a glimpse of his/her beloved even if its a mirage?
Can any one explain the joy of hearing slangs from a god like friend?
Can any one explain the joy derived from reading a sentence in a book which summerises your life?
Can some one replicate the joy of watching a movie scene you wished you could be there in it?
Can anyone describe the haunting face in a nightmare?
No...hell no!

But but but.... I feel my profound journery to escavate the joy is a miniscule whenever i hear Rag Gujri todi from the legend Ravi Shankar instrumental obviously!

I think time can stop only once;One talking to you! I really dont know how it just flows one hour gone just like that poof!
Same if not less i feel hearing to this instrument this guy plays.

One can only say after hearing-" Boss, itni bhi lagan kisi mein ho sakti hai kya"
Hats off to you Mr. Sharma and thanks for giving me some moments of peace even if for some minutes.

Now i see it what must be the exact goal of a person like me after some years of foolish " apadhapi" of life. Pursue excellence so that to get to the top of the segment of Maslow's hiearchy of needs. Everything else is just some blandishments attributed to fools or their narrow angle of frogs' eye view!
