Music

456735585a5770555270627a4a527246673541-100x100-0-0Music they say is a unit of our languages. The beating of the drum, clapping of hands are all part of the music. Of all great things there is nothing like the music.

According to the dictionary, Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; “art of the Muses“).[1]

The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context.Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within the arts, music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. It may also be divided among art music and folk music. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.[2] Music may be played and heard live, may be part of a dramatic work or film, or may be recorded.

To many people in many cultures, music is an important part of their way of life. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as “the harmony of the spheres” and “it is music to my ears” point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, “There is no noise, only sound.”[3] Musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: “The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus … By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be.”[4]

CHILD CARE:

Our Children are our future generation; it is of utmost importance that they be well taken care of; right from birth till they become adults. Care include their wellbeing, Shelter, Feeding, Clothing, Education etc. Actually it is the right and privileges of these our children. So nothing must be compromised about this.

A situation where people give birth and abandon their young ones to their fate is really absurd. I cannot imagine it. I still remember how I felt when I held my first son in my arms when I just put to birth. And each day I watch him grow; I realize how amazing it is.
