Music

The melody which strikes you with utmost happiness.  
The lyrics which remind you of the alike condition you were.
The vibrations which cut trough our inhibitions and reach your heart. 
And then,
The voice which pours out the truth in the simplest manner possible.

That's a very brief description of the word "Music".

At this clock, we restrict it to Eminem, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 , Arijit Singh , Shreya Ghoshal and the list expands depending on every other POV. That's not wrong. Definitely.Just different from what I feel.

For me its a way to escape all my sufferings. And celebrate my success. Both the lows and highs goes with music.  The best part is its always there. People may come. And leave too. Music stays. Forever. 
Its been important to me since I gained senses and stopped watching ShinChan. Regularly.

I feel it has been important to the humanity since long before the advent of headphones.

People struggling for freedom in countries like India, sang Rang De Basanti! to express togetherness.

People in France sang La Marseillaise  to gather courage to strive in harsh realities of life.

Music has always been a source of purity. Joy. Togetherness.

It will be. Forever.

Haunted!

As per as my interest in the spooky stories grew more with my age and the sudden increase in this field lead me to some googling of haunted places and I found the below written most interesting ones.

Bhangarh , Rajathan



As per as my research,
Bhangarh Fort is situated on a hillside in the deserted town of Bhangarh, Rajasthan. Bhangarh is a ruined town between Jaipur and Alwar in Rajasthan and is located at the edge of Sariska Tiger Reserve. 
Bhangarh fort is a major tourist attraction and is said to be one of the most haunted sites in the world. 
 As a myth by a sorcerer named, Guru Balu cursed the place and the people that they would die and their souls would perish in the castle till eternity.  "The moment the shadows of your palaces touch me, the city shall be no more!" 
 As you can see in the above board put by the Archaeological Survey of India "the entry of tourist is prohibited before dusk and after dawn". 
Still the place remains a major attraction of the tourists! 

Taj Mahal Hotel, Mumbai


Who needs a description for the Taj Mahal hotel!
Build by Shri Jamshedji Tata on a belief that he was prohibited to enter a hotel named Watson's Hotel which said "only whites". Sir wanted to build a hotel for his fellow Indians.
Taj is also known for the luxury and utmost level of hospitality its offers to its visitors. 
But the horror goes back to the time of its creation when W.A Chambers one of the main architects associated committed suicide at the same place because of the frustration of failure of his one of the ideas which  had not executed the way he wanted.
People say that they have experienced his presence very often wandering in the 'chambers'.

These are the most interesting ones I found. There are plenty more stories of horror in India. It depends on your belief and disbelief.
