Yet another poem dedicated to my favourite music composer. Here is the content:
Dear Harris Sir
I have been a fan of your music
Since the age of sixteen
When I heard the song “Oru Maalai”
Which transported me to another world
A world like no other
From then on, there was no looking back
Those were the days of cassettes and CDs
Every time an album of yours was released
I would be one of the first to buy it
Thus putting my pocket money to good use
From cassettes to CDs
CDs to MP3 players
And finally
MP3 players to songs downloaded from the Internet
A lot has changed over the years
But not my love for your music
I may be a fully grown adult now
But I feel the same childlike excitement
Whenever I listen to one of your songs
As I did, all those years ago
Whenever I am down in the dumps
Or caught in a pressure cooker-like situation
Or riding a rollercoaster of emotions
It is your music
That I turn to
In order to make me feel better about myself
And I want to let you know
That you still have a lot of music in you
Of course, life is full of ups and downs
And even the best of people
Have to endure some rough patches
That is the harsh reality of life
However, I’m sure you will turn things around
Just like how Virat Kohli did recently
Keep believing in yourself, Sir
And don’t let your doubters drag you down
Your music is one of a kind
Which is why I’m one of your biggest fans
And will always be
