“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” ― Albert Einstein
how great this spiritual scientist Albert Einstein was ….
music is harmony of time and timeless …..harmony of left and right brain ….. harmony is vibrating at the same frequency as of nature …… harmony is harmony within for a flow of life outside …..
many time people ask why Indian music has raga system which corresponds with every hour of day and night ?…..
Sun and Moon movements make temperature of day and night in every season of the year and produce flow of air waves at a particular wave length and vibrations ……
as two eyes vision merge to bring the dimension of depth so is Indian raga music system …..so the vibrations of the artist performance match with the vibrations of air to produce a stereo phonic divine depth experience of timelessness …..
this experience of this timelessness is the purpose of all world music ….and thanks God ….. Indian classical music is truly a music of timelessness …..so being my date to update my wordpress Music blog …….Music = harmony with God.
what ever music I post on my Blog has to have this dimension of timelessness ……. and love music from across the world ….I am a world music citizen …..and my religion is music only ….but before that not to forget ….
See how beautifully….. God has added one more day in our life…….life is a celebrations of everyday as birthday….Happy Birthday to everyone …….with all the good wishes and greetings …..

An internationally acclaimed exponent of the Mewati Gharana of Hindustani Classical Music and a torch-bearing disciple of Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj Ji, Pandit Suman Ghosh’s mellifluous voice, combined with his soul-stirring artistry and technical perfection, elevates music to divinity, leaving worldwide audiences spellbound. Describing his concert in 2015, The Times of India headline read “A Night of Musical Bliss”. His musicianship and his unique and unmatched contributions towards the spread of Hindustani classical music have earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015.
Besides his genius as a performing musician, Pandit Ghosh is also a path-finding Guru. As the founder of the Center for Indian Classical Music of Houston (CICMH), he has been spearheading the cause of this music in its purest form for over a decade. The Hindu, writes … “Well-known for his spiritually inspiring concert performances, innovative workshops and lectures, Pt. Suman Ghosh, shuffles between performance and academics with equal ease”.
In the midst of riyaaz (intense practice), imparting taalim (training his disciples), composing, sharing his vision with his team of dedicated followers, and planning the intricate details of upcoming endeavors, Pandit Ghosh is a model family man. He is married to Smt. Shashikala Ghosh, who, besides being the truly loving and caring Guruma (Guru Mother) for their disciples, bridges Pandit Ghosh’s musical and personal life seamlessly. Their daughters – Amiya and Apurva, and son – Aarohan Jashojeet, are also integral parts of their parents’ musical journey. Here, ‘musicality begins at home’.
A track from Adele’s second album, ’21’, ‘Someone Like You’ has reached a huge audience, without synthesizers or Auto-Tune. It was the first single of the 2010s to sell over one million copies in the UK.
I heard that you’re settled down That you found a girl and you’re married now I heard that your dreams came true Guess she gave you things, I didn’t give to you Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it I had hoped you’d see my face And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over
Following up on the success of ‘Careless Whisper’, ‘A Different Corner’ was the second solo single released by George Michael and helped him to become the first solo act in the history of the UK Singles Chart to reach No.1 with his first two releases. It was the beginning of a fantastic career as performer and song-writer who eventually sold more than 100 million records worldwide making him one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time.
Lyrics
I’d say love was a magical flame I’d say love would keep us from pain Had I been there Had I been there
I would promise you all of my life But to lose you would cut like a knife So I don’t dare No, I don’t dare
‘Cause I’ve never come close in all of these years You are the only one to stop my tears And I’m so scared I’m so scared
Take me back in time maybe I can forget Turn a different corner and we never would have met Would you care
I don’t understand it, for you it’s a breeze Little by little you’ve brought me to my knees Don’t you care
No, I’ve never come close in all of these years You are the only one to stop my tears I’m so scared of this love
And if all that there is, is this fear of being used I should go back to being lonely and confused If I could, I would, I swear

An infectious rhythm coupled with a sexy saxophone melody and George’s heart-felt vocals announced to the world that this was a brilliant solo artist with tales to tell. As a result, ‘Careless Whisper’ reached No.1 in nearly 25 countries and sold almost six million copies worldwide – not bad for a first solo single!
An artist of extraordinary talent – he is sadly missed.
Write only what you love, and love what you write.
The key wordislove.
You have to get up in the morning
and
write something you love,
something to live for.”
–Ray Bradbury
what is love ….. a time or timeless emotion ?
in my view love is a timeless emotion in time .
it is a eternal canvas of timeless where a short film titled “LIFE ” is projected ….
it is a natural talent of acting …… natural talent of music ……. natural talent of writing a story …. it is an inner talent to perceive eternal beauty in nature …… and nature includes everything …… a flower to a flowing river of time where we meet humans also and when we are in love that eternal beauty appears in our work , worship and human relationships.
love is to spot that eternal beauty everywhere with a effortless effort
so
love is an expression without expressed
talking about canvas of eternal ……. always think about sky ….. and love the rise of Sun and many many times click this painting of time ……. a love affair of photo art
life is , a love affair …… always and in all ways fair.
