[Alternate title suggested by Saurav Mitra: Minors for Minors!]
After coming back from a 2-day trip Ankur still had the energy to cook a special dinner for us - Chicken with Green Peppers, Pulao and Garlic Naan!
After overeating (a lot!) I decided to top it off with some of Diya and Aadi's Halloween candies.
Overall effect … Absolutely Bliss!
To prolong the mood I started playing a few random chords on the keyboard. A tune seemed to emerge. I decided to record it on my iPhone … just in case one day I find the time to turn it into a complete composition.
Aadi was playing around. I decided to play the recording to him and asked him, "Is it a happy or a sad tune?" (A few weeks back he seemed to intuitively connect minor chords with sad mood … so this was repeating the experiment to get another data point.)
He seemed to be perplexed. He asked me back several times "Baba, it is happy or sad? Is it happy or sad? …"
I asked him, "What does your heart say?"
He replied, "Sad … but beautiful"
Is it?
For those who are musically curious, the chords were Fm Ab C Bb/Fm.
For those who get time to read our blog, the incident got me back to blogging after a gap of several months. I really don't want them to grow up fast!
