Listening Between the Notes: A guide to hearing the subtle notes of life's music

If one wants to develop a keen eye for observing life in all its glory, the avenues are plenty—books, movies, people’s faces, politics, trees, nature, and practically everything that surrounds us. It all depends on how one receives external stimuli. When absorbed without fear, it can have a transformative effect. Every life experience or encounter I’ve had is distilled in this book—a collection of ‘WhatsApp statuses’ originally meant for friends and family—reflecting my attempt to make sense of life by observing it without fear. When one delves into the meaning of each passage, suspending analysis and judgment, a new freeway opens—a parallel fast lane on the highway of life—creating a sensation of flight. This has been the experience of people around me who, on long-haul flights, have felt an elevation beyond the plane’s altitude while reading my statuses.With over 25 years in media, R. K.
