THE MAKING OF AN ALBUM 2

Life is full of lessons and is a learning process provided we are willing to stop speaking for once, and open our eyes becoming more aware to what was around us; open our ears, listening more attentively; and becoming more present in the moment, taking in the positive vibes and vibrations emitted all around us every second. So it was with us too, since we began working on the album for Agathiyar. 

The idea for this project did not come about or neither was it mooted by an individual but came in the guise of his Vaaku or spoken words through his Nadi. We saw Agathiyar's hand in all the work that we were engaged in and at each moment. Although he got us to do his work, we soon came to realize that he was moving us and things throughout the project. Over the next few posts we shall share all these wonderful and inspiring stories of Agathiyar and how he delivered these miracles.

As I sat with the producer waiting for the music director to burn his five months of dedicated work onto a polycarbonate plastic, this young upcoming music director spoke about many things. He then shared what his guru had told him with us.

This was a story of three employees who earned 800 a month each. The first employee used to shortchange the employer by playing truant, sleeping during working hours, and not delivering the amount that he was paid for. Another employee was too calculative and only did what was required of him and paid for. The last employee gave more than was asked for.

His guru then went on to explain the merits gained by each employee. The first employee was now indebted to nature due to his care less attitude and not giving an output proportional to his pay. The second was too calculative and did not want to work beyond what he was paid. The score was settled with nature. The last employee went beyond to deliver more than expected of him. To him nature was indebted and had to pay him back. Nature rewarded him without he asking.

I then realized and felt really blessed to have an entire family in AVM, AUM, TS, TUT and AS giving support to this project and off course a dedicated and talented team working on the album, who delivered more than expected. Nature shall reward them.

Nature rewards each one accordingly. That is why the wise when blessing others would say, "Yennampol Vaalvaai".
