This isn’t something I would share, but this one, it is something. I was never so influenced by my own music, I always listen to my on repeat for 2 or 3 days with critical ears, I will never have such critical ears when I’m listening to my favorite artist or any other artist. If you are someone like me, then you should get rid of such critical ears and go easy on yourself.
So I was listening to my new musical piece, just to see if I did well there and check if there was anything that needed my attention. it has a melancholic tone. I can’t say how many times I played it on repeat but every time I played it, I wanted more of it, with that melancholic tone it felt like I was giving myself the permission to open my wounds again. Months have gone, since I lost my lover and a friend. When the violins start playing I could see them, it is something I don’t want to see or be reminded of.
When I’m dealing with such mundane things that I can’t handle, normally I watch some animal documentary or a documentary on space and universe or play games, it helps me to maintain my calm, at least to some extent. This time around, I painted this picture, I was still under the spell of my music. It was playing in the background.
👌👌

Many of us have the same problem of having a critical eye to our own work. I hate many of these things I post.

Waiting to listen to it. Really excited about your trek. Is it in Nepal itself? I am sure you are going with your friends in a group so that’s going to be so much fun! I hope you find some more inspiration for your music and poetry from the mountains. And, guess what, I made a sudden plan too and going for another trek to Kashmir next week 🙂

I just checked it out, it looks stunning, you’re all set to have a fantastic time. I will eagerly wait for the video. I really want to trek in Nepal. A friend recently came from Annapurna and Poonhill and has such exciting stories to tell. I really hope Nepal Himalayas will call me and someday I can make it that side.

The thing is I have accepted the fact and I am doing well moving on but sometimes you can’t help it and I take it to next level and calm myself by thinking of parents who lose their children in some tragedy. I put myself on their spot but I can only imagine. Unfortunately that is also the life. Thank you dear Katy. Sending hugs back to you.
