I am back here, unexpectedly, after 5 years!
And yet, reading everything I have written transports me back to those moments and feelings. Wow! I realize expression is a gift to mankind like no other. We all like to revisit our favourite places, even if we forget we can find them on the map. That's about physical space. But what about that other dimension you journeyed through? An emotional map does not exist and it can be really hard to revisit certain emotional checkposts. One might think of pictures clicked during some special occasions - but honestly that can never pierce you so deeply as written words. It might also be because you are not feeling particularly strong emotions while taking pictures. It's mostly when you are with yourself that you find your voice fully and totally. And that is usually when you write.
I am thousands of miles away from my romantic neighbours whom I didn't even know but their accidental gift remains with me - the inspiration for this blog. I will continue to write down about songs as and when they come to me.
