i sang today.

i sang today, and my heart sang along with. it was blissful, really. how does singing bring so much joy to the heart, i wonder. every cell comes alive, or so it seems. every part of the being works in unison with every other to bring the best note out from within. and when there is harmony between the vocal chords and the guitar chords, it is heaven.

today was dhwani-berkeley's first real meeting. we were already down to five in number, and were only able to get a cramped little room half the size of my bathroom :), but once the guitar started to play, all was well with the world. as a said, each time the guitar would fall silent between songs, it felt as though we had ceased to breathe. music is so precious.

we had decided to each pick a song to perform for the group today, and i picked zara zara. it has been eons since i sang that song, once my most favorite, and i was pleased to plunge into its depths yet again. again struggled with the lows, again struggled with the highs :), but it was all good, for the song came from deep within... also heard what's in with the hindi pop world of today :) and now have a long song list to listen to as well.

singing felt like walking on a dew-laden lawn on a summer's morning. really, it was heaven.
