Trouble-Bubble

One of the greatest lessons I have learnt  in life is, To know your own strengths (very few and  far between, in my case) and weaknesses (too many to enumerate,  alas as regards the undersigned). One inevitable corollary of the above truth is, to try and avoid those persons who are consistently proven to be stronger and also more anti-self interests. In this context, a small poem penned on trouble, by a dear and near one in his infant years always seems to spring to mind in adverse circumstances:                      Don't trouble trouble,             Till trouble troubles you,              You only double trouble                 And trouble others too. In other words, I guess: Don't bite off more than you can chew.  PS: Title inspired by the real 'Trouble-Bubble' - Biswa Bikash Sen

Musings about Music

Music has always cast a spell over my senses. Of course, I can not claim to be an expert in musical matters, just a regular guy who likes to immerse  himself in tunes and melodies, rhythm and blues , rock and roll and reggae. Another thing I enjoy even more is commentary and criticism of well informed gurus, on T V and Fm. 

    

We are reliably informed that music and mathematics are symbiotically connected. All I can say is that all human relations need to be built on layers of lovely notes and formulae, probably reducing the outbreak of hostilities at the drop of pins. I remember attending Class IV in a well known Calcutta school, and every pupil had to try and play several instruments - I remember the sitar and tabla ,in both I was a sad sack misfit. But I still maintain it was a lovely initiative on the part of the school authorities to try and soothe the savage beast in us from that very impressionable age.
