For the Love of Music

There are some movies that make a mark, even without a background score. If Life were a movie, it wouldn't make it to this column though. I grew on musicals and I guess it is only natural for me to wonder how emphatic and enlivened each emotion would be, if only life could be punctuated with a score.

Music may not have been something that I've done a doctorate in. I fancied learning the violin twice as a kid, and came to believe that I should own the instrument to play it. Only this time, I chose to learn to play the guitar. I guess the outcome is quite obvious :)

The music-lover has been in constant conflict with the conscientious neighbor that I am. Recently, they struck truce with the BOSE Portable iPod Speaker. Wow! What a difference it makes... I wouldn't have neighbors knocking on my door, eager to talk to me, while I'm peacefully enjoying my bath!
