My First Love!!

Books and Music. They are my first love. You might wonder how one can have two first loves.To me both, Music and Books, are the same. Just like the Swaras ( notes) intertwine to create soothing music, that is honey to the ears, a string of words reveal or bring out a profound meaning.

Music has been a part of my life from when I got the ability to hear( my mother informed me that she used to go to concerts pretty often when she was pregnant.) Books, unfortunately, made a late entry . But I have no regrets. Better late than never! Let me tell you the story about my love for books. This journey officially began only after the Harry Potter series. Therefore, they remain an eternal favorite. It was the glamor of ' reading novels' that allured me into the habit but only as I indulged more and more did I become an addict. There was a time in my life when I gobbled down any book that came my way. But now I have become more refined and organized. One should be, because books have the ability to leave a lasting impression on oneself. Too much about myself right? Let me give you the symptoms of being 'bookish' :
  • There is a hunger for good books
  • The smell of paper makes you go 'aaaaaahhh' ( unfortunately, the smell of textbooks makes me go 'yuck')
  • The sight of the book you love makes you jump and brings a sparkle in your eye and you feel as if you have found your prince charming.
  • You keep quoting lines from your favorite book.
Thats it for now. More about Art of Living, music, books, laughter in my upcoming posts.

Rum-tum-tiddle-um-tum

I am sure most of you are wondering where i got this nonsensical title for my blog from. So, i want to begin by giving credit to the person who created this musical word( or whatever it is) -Mr.A.A.Milne ( The creator of the extremely adorable bear winnie-the-pooh.) For those of you who are not familiar with his work, I am adding one of his poems in this post. Hope u enjoy it.

A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.

Why does a chicken? I don't know why.
