Commonsense Love Knowledge : No Maps No Boundaries

There are some things that are absolutely uncompromising about not being bound by lines on any map.

Knowledge. Art. Love. Commonsense.

I know Americans who have dedicated their lives to Indian classical music. And I know Indians who breathe rock n' roll and jazz. If you are born in a small village in Bengal, fall in love with Beethoven, and can't stay away from the piano, then that's just how it is. And if you are a white boy from Nashville, Tennessee, who can't keep his hands off the Sitar, then that's your love affair :).

And the overlaps can be breathtaking! Did you know that the modes of western music are similar to the moorchas of Indian classical :)?

Likewise with Knowledge. Whichever subject from whichever part of the world you are drawn to, that's what you will pursue.

Be committed to truth, beauty, peace, love. Be uncompromising about these things. That's all that can be asked of us.

Paths - our right to choose. Or maybe they choose us!
