I always wonder as to how it feels to be a singer....The past few months were the only time when I really felt like sharing my music with other people. I have always wanted to sing in solitude when no one is around or when no one is listening. My Singing was something that I felt belonged only to me and I did not feel like sharing it with anyone at all...why was that??? I have no idea...maybe I wasnt ready to take in criticisms?? I could never compare myself with numerous talents out there?? hmmm...I am still not able to comprehend...
But now I do have a very valid reason to revert back to my original self...Over the last few months that I have been Audioblogging...I realized I wasnt really enjoying music as much as I did some time back...so decided to do a lil bit of introspection and found out that after I started audioblogging everytime I listen to something I make an attempt to sing the song and in the process lose the joy of actually listening to the song...Today I told myself that I am going to listen, relish and enjoy every moment of the song that I listen to and stop singing...At this point of time I have a need to enjoy music more than sing it myself....Dont know if this is the case with everyone or it's just me...sometimes I am too imaginative...nevertheless...might stop singing for the time being until my opinion or take on this changes or when I start relishing singing as much as listening...thanks for all the support and encouragement that you all have provided. Will probably take a blogging break for a while....Hope to be back soon.
P.S: Came up with a small discussion with my friend and found myself comparing music with GOD...I do the same thing with GOD too...I try to follow all the rites and rituals that my parents have taught me but I dont sit down to feel the supreme power when I look at all small things in life...beautiful dawn, flowers, starry nights...and God's best creation...MAN...Just becos I am a Human being I dont realize the greatness of it...but when I imagine myself to be some other species I deeply respect the species called HUMANS...MAN and WOMAN...how he made them so different yet made them co-exist....thats where I feel God and his supreme power...Do I really need a religion to believe that God really exists??? A Billion Dollar Quesion...:)

First part of the post- it's more of a decision than of seeking opinion- so no comments on decision. You are the best person to decide and your decision is the best you can make[:D]
The second part of the post-Don't you feel GOD when you are human and think of other species?- if you are able to feel only Human creation as a proof of God or His greatness, then I guess you are suffering from the same illusionary greatness that I see in many.
I always wonder what makes us- Humans think that we are THE greatest creation? Apart from the fact that we were not created by God(which I leave for another discussion later), We tend to look down on the numerous other marvels of nature- in some aspects much more sensitive and intelligent than humans- if you want some proof- here you go!

There are loads of stuff out there, which would systematically decimate our perceived superiority!
Not to belittle humans..just to point out, we arent the only great as made out to be. Nature had made everything(one) with equal abilities.- we sure don't know if plants sing or write poetry![:D] Cant read their language or hear them..but sure they might be! :)
Read the post carefully....If I mentioned that as a Human species I'm able to enjoy and feel God when I sit down and stare at the sky...and wonder in awe at the numerous things in the sky...and every single creation on this earth like the colors on a butterfly's wings...the fact that birds can fly...and a lots of other things...but I definitely do feel that MAN is one of his most wonderful creations...have u ever for a second wondered the intricate mechanism of the Human body and its working...everything works in unison...even if one fails to co-operate the whole body fails to work...and I am not trying to belittle other creations...God resides in those little things...only if you take time to feel it.
@priti: I think we are thinking in tangents here. What I meant was Humans are not the only wonderful species here. True, we can speak only for us. All I wanted is, to appreciate that we are not the only wonderful things..but we are just one of those-The only part where I found something to chip is was "when I imagine myself to be some other species I deeply respect the species called HUMANS"-here all I wanted was that we should be able to appreciate everything as equal to us. My point is, we (Humans) are not any superior to the numerous other species that dot this earth![:)]
Apologies..Didnt read the last sentence of your previous reply. Stand corrected. My last comment is unwarranted. Ofcourse We arent thinking in tangents :)
The billion dollar question that you have posted warrants quite a thought. I wud probably conclude that religion need not necessarily lead on to God. As has been evident from all around, it has been busy doing just the opposite!
nicely written. Very true... that so many things are either taken for granted or intertwined with our egos that we often loose the essence of the spirit. It's the same with music and singing, and with rituals and "feeling the metaphysical" as you rightly point out. It helps to slow down at times, and just *experience*, soak in...! :)
