Do Re Mi…!

Off late I have been having many conversations with family, friends and colleagues about childhood memories. I realized that unfortunately I do not remember a lot about my childhood but I do remember my younger sister, Sonal’s, childhood very clearly.

I was watching the movie ‘The Sound Of Music’ a few days ago. I have been in love with the movie since forever! As the song Do Re Mi played, I realized I had many memories of my childhood related to this song. I remember singing it, I remember dancing on it and I remember doing school group drills on it till I was fourteen years of age. It certainly is one of those rare compositions that stay in your heart forever. It made me wish that if life was the Do Re Mi song, wouldn't it just be perfect.

In the movie, Maria says, you need to put in one word for every note and you will be able to sing anything! If we tried that with life, putting one beautiful word for any and every note wouldn't it be, well, delightful living? I’m going to try this. I’m going to put one word for every high note or low note of life and today’s word will be “blessings”. It is clear on what note my life is now, isn’t it?
