Life without music is ‘lif’ missing an ‘e’.

What would your life be like without music?

No music, no good neighborhood.

You’re playing Rihanna so loud. This is a residential society and we are too old. Keep the volume down for god’s sake!

No music, no Indian staff could sit at odd hours answering queries in ‘outsourcing’ call-center companies. Music can keep the callers ‘on hold’ for half a day.

There’s a popular saying in India. “The trumpeting announces the arrival of an elephant”.

No music, no ice cream vendor.

No music, no freeway driving. 

No music, no movies. 

No music, no cows will produce milk. 

No music, no weddings in heaven. 

No music, no political campaigns. 

No music, no religious processions.

“Pizza for me at lunchtime!”. That’s ‘music to my ears!’

A Walk in the Clouds.

How do you celebrate holidays?

I live in a city which is urban and people mostly come here to work and build a career.

On holidays, they all go back to their native places. The city will look completely deserted during the break.

I cherish the look of the empty city and relish a walk in the middle of road. I call it ‘a walk in the clouds’.
