Blues and Rodh - Sonika's Kolkata

I'm tired of writing on multiple blogs so here's a go at writing together.

It was one of those days I had the blues. And by Blues I mean grey. I hate grey, there's a reason why I left my family and friends and beautiful culture of London to move so far away. Yes, I did want to find myself and a new place, but also because the grey brings me so so down. Yes it may fuel some of my sad songs, but moreso it fuels my depression. And Boston thankfully has enough grey days to keep the sadness flowing but way more sun to get me to actually sing the sadness out loud.

Drifting as always. Anyways for multiple reasons, including having a sore throat, coming off a withdrawal of a huge show, and lack of adreneline in my life, I have been feeling particularly sad today. I even forced myself to a workout which usually is a quick pickup but with no luck.

And then I come home to this :

"Hello. 
I just wanted to say that your voice is magical.
And I made a short film/video on your song Ei Shondhay.
I would be very very happy if you could take a look at it. "

Yes I get fan mails, remixes and the occasional slideshow video, but this was just the right sentiment, the right effort at the right time. The reason I felt so loved and honoured was that this video is a short film about the maker's city "Kolkata." I know what it's like to love a city, I've felt that way about London, Dhaka and more now than ever: Boston.

Feelings of insignificance that recently had haunted me have been ridiculed aside. This is why I live, this is why I sing, so I can share and love with you beautiful people. Thank you Sonika <3 p="">
