You

My thought begins with you
My day begins with you
My heart lies with you
My soul lies with you...

You are my prayer
You are my desire
You are my soul-mate
You are my life...

Can we live together
Can we share together
Can we give together
Can we die together...

You are now single
You are now alone
You are ready to marry
You are in search of love...

I am single for you
I am alone for you
I am ready to marry you
I am in love with you...

You make me feel
You make me live
You make me sad
You make me happy...

I want to feel with you
I want to live with you
I wan to be sad with you
I want to be happy with you...

You are an independent human
You are a lovely person
You can think for yourself
You can decide on your own...

I am not asking you
I am not forcing you
I am just telling you
I am in love with you...

Now think about your future
Now think about your family
Now think about your dream-guy
Now think about our future...

My future is with you
My family is with you
My dream is with you
My life is with you...

You are my prayer
You are my desire
You are my soul-mate
You are my life...

I am not asking you
I am not forcing you
I am just telling you
I am in love with you...

Absence

Absence of a person,

Creates a void…

It’s a slow poison,

Hard to avoid…

I tend to neglect,

Pretend to move-on…

But when I re-collect,

If the person stayed on…

Everyday in my life,

You have a resonance,

Memory is so rife,

No one fills your absence…

Absence of a person,

Creates a void…

It’s a slow poison,

Hard to avoid…

Silence Personified

Silence expressed in Love,

Feels as gentle as Dove...

Silence expressed in Hate,

Decides a person's Fate...

Silence expressed in Fear,

Helps withhold a Tear...

Silence expressed in Care,

Such maturity is Rare...

Silence understood with Love,

Makes two people bow...

Silence understood with Hate,

Break it. It's never Late...

Silence understood with Fear,

Creates misunderstanding my dear...

Silence understood with Care,

Is an eye without a Stare...

Silence creates in Love,

False smile from Above...

Silence creates in Hate,

Disrespect in Haste...

Silence creates in Fear,

Hindrance to reach Near...

Silence creates in Care,

Strength no one can Dare...

Composers and Women in India – A Strange Combination

Indian music has come a long way from the traditional Carnatic to modern day westernized music. So does the way in which music is created, stored and sold. Gramophone replaced by music system and ipods. Even though we have so many advancements in the field of music and the music industry in India is worth billions; we have noticed that, predominantly men have ruled the music industry – at least as composers.
In the times when women have excelled in every field they have touched, why there are not many women who have succeeded as music composers? What could be the possible reasons that have not allowed women to scale great heights in the music industry as composers?

Generalizations

There has been a common notion that men are usually the creative and artistic type. Women are considered are the delicate and sensitive type.
Are women different?Even though biologically women are certainly different from men, artistically are the same. The gender of a human has nothing to do with music. Since music is believed to be derived from the soul, there is no one on earth who can differentiate between a male soul and a female one.

Negligence

When I was having a casual chat with one of my friend, I incidentally happened to ask that person, “if he knew of any female women composers India?” I was amazed to realize that there are no prominent women music composers in India and neither the history suggests that. I went online to find if the world had some and found quite a handful of them. Neither this field is physically demanding nor a low paying one, then what has prevented the modern day Indian women to make a mark in this field remains elusive?

Awareness

One probable answer for the above question is the lack of awareness among the Indian youth about this huge vacant space which needs to be filled up by young, talented and energetic girls of today. Talent hunts for almost any field has become a routine scenario in the film & media industry. Why not a one for women music composers?

Possible Hindrances

Lack of formal musical educationIn India, we are so focused on the mainstream academics that common people generally don’t tend to allow their children to take offbeat careers. Those who do, suffer from the lack of proper facilities and scope for survival.

Social attitude

The society does not accept change very soon, at least not in the case of the stereo type casted women behavior. If a young girl ventures into a field which not many women have tried before, almost she faces opposition from every quarter of her life.

Self-confidence

Unlike men, women have to think twice before they take any bold step in life (at least in the case of Indian women). Even though composing music is not considered as a bold job, but making a mark in the industry and survival without guidance is a daunting task.

Competitiveness

In the near future, perhaps the big musical compositions can be won by men; in the long term, if some girl of today makes an effort can definitely be one among the top music composers irrespective of the gender discrimination.

Asha Srinivasan – Modern day achieverAsha Srinivasan, a doctoral student at the University of Maryland, performed at the Celebration of Women Composers at the Notable Women Festival in New York, organised by Orchestra of St Luke's, America's foremost chamber orchestra, which has gained critical acclaim for vibrant music making. Srinivasan's composition, "The River Near Savathi", was commissioned after she beat 66 other American composers between the ages of 20 and 30 in a competition held in December 2006.With the honour, Asha has made it to the ranks of the top 15 women composers in America.Asha was born in Utah and raised in India as well as the US. Her musical compositions are greatly influenced by south Indian Carnatic music. Asha completed her DMA (Doctorate in Musical Arts) in composition at the University of Maryland, where she is also an electronic music teaching assistant.In 2006, Asha won an award at the Walsum Competition for her string quartet "Kalpitha" and the second prize in the Prix d'Ete Competition for her flute and computer piece "Alone Dancing", which was performed at SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the US) 2005.

Optimistic

With Asha leading the women in the NRI society, let’s hope that we shall see good women music composers in the years to come!

A Simple Thought

"People find the right people when they commit a mistake,
When they do the right things; they lose the right people and commit a mistake."


Ironically, in life; a "mistake" seems to decide the destiny of people.
