Culture
India is a land of rich culture and traditions. Culture and traditions were actually made for the convenience of the people in the long past by the then wise people. Traditions are our past. Our joys are associated with the traditions. For example all the festivals that we love celebrating are nothing but traditions. They are an integral part of our society. For example, take any tradition and analyze it; you will find it has many wholesome benefits. For example, take the tradition of going to a temple/mosque/church/or any religious place. It connects us to our roots. As we go to the temple, it makes us realize the supremacy of God; it makes us spiritual.
Another example is being respectful to elders. Our traditions teaches us to be courteous and respectful to our elders, teachers, or any stranger; by being respectful we not only gladden the elders, but also gladden ourselves. They give us many favours in return. For example, they bless us. They teach us. They are always there with their love and care when we need them. We also earn a good image in society and people like to be associated with us.
Another blessing of our family is joint family system. This system is only found in India and some other traditional societies. The so called problem-ridden western societies don’t have joint family systems. As a result, there are no problems such as loneliness, depression, going astray, etc.; by default, the joint family system proves healthy and beneficial in the healthy growth of children and provides them with a wholesome environment.
So, we must protect and observe the traditions bequeathed to us by our wise forefathers. We can modify certain traditions for the convenience of people as well as according to the demands of current times. We must never ever disrespect and disregard traditions, for they are for our help, comfort, ease, and happiness. Music is my hobby
There is a whole range of hobbies to opt for. However, my hobby is music. I feel naturally drawn to it. I cannot explain why it is so though! I personally feel music has many benefits. It is the best way to become rhythmically creative. When you learn an instrument or a song, and then perform in front of audience, it not only makes you popular, but also boosts your confidence. People who know music, never ever do not feel bored, nor do they allow others to be bored!
Keats has rightly said, ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever;
its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness;' Music is
one of the beautiful things we have in our life. Its influence is everlasting.
Music is the language of soul. There is a divine rhythm in music that sets the
discordant and inharmonious thoughts and passions into perfect harmony! Seared
by the agonies of follies, the soul often finds solace in the soothing
symphonies of music. It is true that music is the medicine for the broken and
anguished heart. Music and anguish have intimate bond between them. It has been
observed that most soothing musical melodies come out of sorrowful hearts; and
these melodies have the power to soothe and assuage the agonies and anguish of
those who listen to these soulful melodies.
Singing legends such as Lata Mangesh, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh are
adored throughout the world for their soulful melodies. Their songs enchant and
thrill the listeners of all ages.
Many a man would have given in to the challenges of life and quit, if soulful melodies would not have given hope, inspiration and cheer to them. Music lifts us when we are feeling low; music fills us with vigour, when we are feeling tired. All the melodies that gave us peace, solace and inspiration, we always remember. We often hum them and listen them again and again. Their impact is everlasting on us.
For all the above mentioned reasons I love music.
