It leaves me with a similar feeling I get when I listen to Ghulam Ali's ghazal. <BR/>http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=TjPTmAqmQq8Gokul Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123778610972227100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949006.post-49667731093199406292008-09-06T11:26:00.000-07:002008-09-06T11:26:00.000-07:00Anto,A post after a long time, and boy what a load...Anto,<BR/>A post after a long time, and boy what a loaded post!<BR/>I went through all the references you had suggested, except the novel "Gora" :)<BR/><BR/>1) "Tunnel of love" - I am not yet able to relate to the piece as you are able to, but I understand music has the capacity to do that. I have this experience with a few other pieces I often go back to. Music works directly with the "being". I think it will always be a mystery!<BR/><BR/>2) I haven't seen the movie ("An officer and a gentleman") yet, but I re-read your review. I at least want to watch that scene that you reference.<BR/><BR/>3)That poem in Geetanjali was beautiful. I like to see that in a spiritual context (somehow, this comes automatically!)I have that book with me, and is collecting dust :)<BR/><BR/>4) I am hearing Camille for the first time. Looking at that painting, it seems to me that the beauty comes from the simplicity. Just enough detail for the vision to emerge from the void of nothingness. I don't have enough knowledge to appreciate paintings!<BR/><BR/>Overall, your post is a reminder that I am sleepwalking through most of my life. I don't even drink my coffee properly!Deepakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881045850948330042noreply@blogger.com
