Looking out the window, eyes delightedly viewed the generous clouds opening up, giving way to raindrops, eager to drench my land. And in fraction of a second, the parched ground came to life, emitting a scented aroma. Magically the ground transformed itself into grass; a mammoth green carpet was being created, and gradually flourishing crops started swaying from side to side.

Raindrops—they created all this green magic.

Their rhythm is always so predictable; and their sound, a sound of music.  When they fall, it’s as if heavens are joining their hands and beckoning all that is good and pure to touch upon the numerous lands and valleys, so also lives of people, overflowing them with abundance & prosperity, and giving them all a new birth; a desired rejuvenation.

The sound of raindrops is always welcoming to ears, which have otherwise grown unduly accustomed to the noises overpowering the cities. The angry horns, blazing engines with puffed smokes, and the endless insurmountable monotony of this nonsensical noise is definitely not music to one’s ears.Nowadays, to add to the flurry of these meaningless sounds, we have the additional paid melody of “ring tones” overpowering us. The natural sound of raindrops is far melodious than these electronic musical pieces.

Whereas raindrops are those audible treats which fall from above like someone is showering sweet irresistible goodies.  And then heart feels like gathering each and every precious goodie, by spreading the two hands, looking up and saying a big thank you to that Someone who is obliging us with the droplets. Even constant, unstopped showers with sound of raindrops never feel like a source of disturbance.  One feels particularly thrilled when those droplets relentlessly & persistently keep falling down, and a time comes when they completely shadow the noise of our yelping engines.

There’s one more unchained melody which is seamlessly music to ears. It’s the chatter of children- constant, ever so noisy, but always a pleasure. Put a bunch of children in a room, and within micro seconds, see the room come alive. It’s a fascinating experience, with all the “hulla-gulla”, and overflowing bubbles of energy breathing therein.

And needless to say, another such unchained melody to ears is always a beautiful song, which brings us back to our spirits; transforming our feelings; enriching our minds, and captivating our hearts.

So, life around us does consist of such melody in great profusion. It’s just that the busy lives need to sit back and unwind the beauty in each of these melodies, before it’s too late and these tunes begin to fade away. After all, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. So, it is all how one perceives it. One has to start searching for music in the little joys of life; only then an orchestra can start playing a symphony in the splashing fountain of one’s hearts, bringing on one’s platter, the intractable & overwhelming moments of unchained melody…
