Life & Music

I was in my room, listening to English songs loudly on my Intex speakers. Uncle entered my room. We both smiled. Song was so damn good that I couldn’t help myself to turn it off.

“Do you understand all the English lyrics??” he asked.

“Well, not all, but almost…” I replied with smile.

“If you don’t understand it fully, then it’s useless to listen” he shook his head in disgust.

“Well uncle, Do you understand life fully?” I asked.

He gave a thoughtful expression. And then said, “No, not fully, but…”

“Then should we live life??” I asked and observed his rolling eyeballs here and there and I said, “…Or should we commit suicide because we don’t fully understand life!!?”

His tongue was too paralyzed to utter anything.

“Uncle, I don’t understand lyrics fully, but I am fully enjoying music… likewise same goes for life. Just enjoy the life. Life will introduce itself through different circumstances.” I said.

He hummed in agreed tone.

“Uncle, enjoy the life… and let’s enjoy the music…” I laughed to break his serious facial expression into joy. And then I held both his hands and our body went with rhythms. That brought a wide smile on his face.
