What's life without a dollop of Inspiration in it?

Oh yes!

This is a very connecting phrase in almost all our lives.

Inspiration to do something. Motivation. Wish they sold it somewhere. Alas, the practical scenario seems a little away from that ;).

I'm sure most of you, (like me), would have had someone to talk about how life turns banal over a little period of time, boasting of the same routine day in and day out. We'd need something new to just push us up and leave us in an excited state forever. The solution to that is pretty simple. It lies in the realms of the grey matter! :D

No, seriously!

Be it wanting to learn the guitar (the number of people which I stopped counting, eventually), or heading to the gym, (no references to anyone in particular :P), anything not in particular, but with a sole desire to break the monotony - all would either fetch a 'faithfulness rate' of shameful numbers or wouldn't be started, at all. Both - disgraceful :).

The whole thing being that if you wanna look at the open book as open, it is definitely open. The entire success-motivation thingy lies in the realms of the grey matter indeed. It is totally unfortunate that one doesn't realise that there is something good to learn from every bad thing that happens. Heck, even the bad looks BAD if you look at it 'bad'ly. 

Ask a poet, or a 'self claimed amateur lyricist' like me, and we'll tell you, that there is something in everything. Something about which something can be told. When such is the rule of nature, it is just being lazy on one's part to not realise how much one can get inspired.

We made a song on Inspiration. Better put, we made an instrumental. The only one so far, by the band. The first piece to ever be composed by us. Pumped us with lots of energy and made us conjure up things hitherto unknown. My brother, named it Inspiration. He felt it groovy, unexpected and peppy. We didn't say no :). Come to think of it, listening to that raw version with Vinay playing, totally immersed into the tune, Aravinda's careful notes, Kiran's voice here and there to change 'this' and do 'that' actually pumps us up each time we listen to it. No later jammings produced the same effect.

I take inspiration from the number of CDs we'd release, that feeling of wanting to explode in a studio with what all has been (and still is) building up in my mind, that feeling of satisfaction, that feeling of wanting to know almost everything at work, that intellectual gratification, that innate quality of wanting to be the best in everything I do, (rather than just sayin it :P), that feeling of wanting to drive an Audi, those desires, those dreams.

Dream on! [Aerosmith's my favourite song. I wrote a few lines on similar lines ;)] Dreams should feed your perceptions with inspiration, rather than just remaining dreams.

Success can be the biggest turn on in the world. It is a pity people fall for much different things :P :P
