Ramblings Only

Just ramblings, only a vent for emotions, feelings and all the good stuff

 
Relaxer
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Last Friday I was telling DH that I was too stressed, it felt like I had knots, somewhere in me, in my head, and I wanted to know what could relieve me. Saturday amidst the packing frenzy it dawned on me, nothing can be more relaxing than new music.
So visiting Raaga.com helped. A lot! How does music do it? What does it do, technically? Does it release those 'happy feeling' hormones or something? Its beautiful. I was at the gym listening to Yaadhumaagi. One song of Benny Dayal, his accent is awesome or what, and another female solo song, Thigatta thigatta, sorry, dont have the enthu add the link. Actually Thigatta thigatta is playing at home in a single loop as I type this. I used to wonder why ARR and other look for new voice. New voices are refreshing, how do they say it, a breath of fresh air? Like that. I actually skipped out of the gym humming the song. It was awkward to bump into a colleague and his wife.

Long live music!!
If someone has a theory, please let me know.

Plus the Conference etc etc went well, I was able to skip work for sometime, although I had my laptop with me and was logged in. Boss asked me to stop by his cube and I told him I was at the Conference, he didnt seem to mind. That was a good sign.

I want to write so much. But it will have to wait.

I have to get ready for this nightly call to India, which has been stealing my evenings every single day for quite a few days now, including Sundays. I need ALL the patience in the world to handle the person I will be talking to.
BUT, if I get worked up, I atleast have my music to de-stress me!

    I listen to music quite a bit that it never occured to me how much it relaxes. but the times when i have gone off without much of music, it did relieve quite a bit of stress in the small portions.

    btw, where do you get the new songs from?
