Let go

Was watching our Youth Coordinator Navneet immerse himself in his kanjeera yesterday. Interesting.

Playing an instrument exceedingly well is like driving a F1 sports car astoundingly well. You have to become one with the car. So also with the instrument. Just like the fingers clasp themselves around the steering wheel to make the driver one contiguous form with the raching machine, so also do the fingers dance over the drumhead, not as another, but as itself, the dancer becoming the dance, and the stage, separated, rather by time, than by space.

Maybe a microcosm of life itself. You might need to be passionate about what you do, to do it exceedingly well. Dance like no one is gasping. Live like it's your life. Be.
