Thoughts And Trivia

We all think ourselves to be very simple beings, while others are complex, difficult and devious. The whole world is at fault, not me - is the normal assumption. Am I an easy person to live with?

I do realise that I am perhaps quite a difficult and irritating person up close. Main reason is that I am perhaps out of synch with the world and people around me. Firstly, physically, I am too short, wispy thin, bald with a dome-like head - nothing, but nothing worth a second glance. I like clowning acts, before children in particular. My physical presentation is like one of these clowning acts - meant to amuse or tease others. I take an impish delight in it.
I occupy myself most of the time with solitary pursuits - that leaves others out. Who will be interested in Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, Computers etc.
Entertainment like Movies, Shows, Eating out etc I do not do often - I get bored too soon.
But then there must be some good in me - that my wife has borne with me for last 30 years!!!
That does not dilute the fact that I am a difficult person to be up-close. Do I take a wry delight in this also?? HA! HA! gotcha.

Lately I am cataloguing my Music Collection - old Himdi Film Songs. I am amazed at the number of tunes that mind is full of.

Hindi Film Songs have been an important part of my childhood and youth. I am amazed at the number of tunes that whistle in my mind. At present my collection includes only 1600 songs. But I can recall all the tunes, lyrics and artists in most cases. Some of the songs ante-date my birth in 1950, but are part of my growth-lore. Say 1945 to 1990 - after which I lost touch. My admiration for the artists who created these songs has grown tremendously during this project. What intoxication they must have felt about their creativity and Art? Bless them Lord!!
Of the singer, composer and lyricist - whom do I admire more? I admire the lyricist most - the creativity and imagination is his only his. Then comes the composer and in the end the singer.
What do you think?
