It is Saturday today, the 23rd July and year 2011, 9:45pm
Friday was the public holiday in Northern territory because of Darwin Cup. We are having long weekend. I did not plan anything for this weekend other than staying home and catching up with cleaning and some paperwork which was pending since couple of weeks. Friday just went into relaxing and doing nothing. I thought Saturday and Sunday will be the day to catch up with these work. Friday night was very late one that made me stay in the bed till quite late the next Morning. Late breakfast happened and so does very late lunch. Being in lazy mood, I could not carry myself to kitchen and get myself to do any sort of cooking. I had lots of fruits (Apple, Carrot, Orange, Cucumber and rock melon - Yes a total mix of fruit salad) and then Doritos at about 3pm. Later at 4pm I had big glass of milk. No No.... I am not going to describe the food I ate or going to write about my daily activity here and kill you with boredom. Something extra ordinary happened later that day, in fact just NOW, which brought me here to penned down my heart's voice.
I got heavy stomach ache because of overeating. Again No, this is not that extra ordinary thing, the reason to write... :D
I had really bad stomach ache, the one that we get blessed with in years and a heavy back pain.. two terrible things together is sufficient enough to make you scream and almost kill you... for the first time I felt "thank god, I don't have to conceive a baby" and realized again how strong and wonderful women are to do this for months...
Anyway, back to my pain...
So, I, me, the one who hates any sort of tablets, thought, God what do I do with this pain and as usual my patient attitude came into rescue. I wanted to bear it and wanted to see how thoughts can be useful to cure pain. I sulk into calmness and lay down on the floor on my stomach, allowing my brain to have good thoughts and did not realize when did I feel asleep. I think I felt better after an hour or so and I dragged my body to cozy bed. The stomach ache wasn't entirely gone I guess so I decided to stay there and again felt slept ( I think...)!
After two hours or so a soothing voice just crossed my mind and touched my soul. I felt as if I was dreaming. You know that moment when you go into confusion that you are in dream or is it actually happening, specially when you are in sleep, Yes that, the same feeling....
I, now was awake, but in bed.... and it occurred to me that some music is being played outside in the neighborhood. I did not get up from the bed because I felt the music started healing my stomach ache... I felt like crying with Joy. Late, I could not stop myself and went outside to locate the place and this is what I see....
A candle light dinner in the back yard. A couple was sitting there with their dog. A lady was pregnant I noticed. All the painful thoughts I had few hours ago about stomach ache and conceiving baby crossed my mind and it clicked to me that something is connecting here. The couple and I had never spoken to each other before. I, from the gate wave at them and beg their attention. I fold my hand in "Namaste" position to apologies greatly for disturbing their wonderful night. But I was selfish and wanted to know what music piece is this which is connecting some strings. I wanted to experience how life gives us signs and wanted to join some dots.
The pregnant lady came to me with most beautiful smile as If she knew the purpose of my coming. The dog for the first time did not bark at me. I told her about my entire story and how this piece of music was healing me. She went inside and brought me the CD. She was in her sixth month of pregnancy. Today was the day when Emanuel proposed her four years ago during one candle light dinner. He requested restaurant to play a CD which he made for her specially for that night. And today again Emanuel wanted to recreate the whole emotion. Really my stomach ache was completely disappeared by now. I felt my presence there more than a minute was not appropriate now. I took the CD, wrote the name of the artist and songs and returned them in no time.
And this introduces me to - " Yo-Yo Ma ". A miracle . The music was played by this guy.
Yo-Yo Ma is a French-born American Cellist, virtuoso, orchestral composer of Chinese descent, a winner of multiple Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts in 2011 and the Presidential Medal of freedom in 2011. He is one of the most famous cellists on our age.

Yo-Yo Ma
He does not play the instrument with his hand and string. He plays with his soul. He can make you cry and can take you into the trance. I wondered how come it took me so long to find him and the instrument " Cello" . But then realized that everything happens at the right time and so did this. I got to know that there is something called "Cello" exist and the Violin looking instrument is not Violin but a "Cello". A violin is smaller than cello and the cello bow (string) is much thicker than violin bow.
Cello
Violin
The music piece which connected my story with them, which touched my heart, which made my stomach ache disappeared and which taught me bit more about life was "Ennio Morricone - Played by Yo-Yo Ma".
You must listen to him. He is god's gift.
And the time is 11:35pm. I am starving again but this time will be very careful.... :)
Have a good night friends...
Peace and love,
