And that's what it's all about

Do you at times think that your life is becoming dull and mind-numbingly monotonous?

      It’s raining outside, and you are looking out your window, onto that luscious green lawn of yours. Two little robins are perched on the tree, dodging the sparkling, limpid raindrops which make a tune of their own as they strike the ground. You, experiencing all that lightheartedness, feel like breaking free, run out there and dance in the rain, sing, frolic, swirl whirl and twirl, till you fall flat on the wet ground. Your mom’s there at the doorway, with those unwavering, sharp piercing eyes staring at your, now limp, wet body as you walk up the stairs. That sure would destroy the moment, wouldn’t it?! 

      What would make the world a much better place is if it were like a big, extravagant musical? Think about it, life would be great if it were like a Broadway spectacular. For no apparent or explained reason, ordinary people would burst into song. Everyday people like you and I would sing our inner feelings to the world. No one would even notice our self-indulgence and lack of talent.

      Young couples serenading idyllic and dreamy tunes at the parks would be a wonderful sight to behold. A furious quarrel, a heated argument could turn into lively, sprightly bout of voices. A girl sobbing at the porch would soothe her own soul by humming melancholic tones. Children would sing as they dance their way to school. The waiters at the restaurants would twirl as they bring the dishes to your table, and you would even thank them by singing with your euphonious voice. Why, even the flowers shall waltz with the melody!

      Surely, that would be an exhilarating life, wouldn’t it? It would bring back that spirit, that cheerfulness, that boldness that’s been sleeping inside us and would let us break free! So try it out… Life, as a musical. After all, singing is no crime!
