A friend once told me how she believes that books come to you whenever you need it...
I dont really know about books... but I can tell you something about my experience with songs. No, not that the songs have been what I needed, but it has always been something that matches with my frame of mind at that moment. Be it joy, happiness, sadness, trepidation, confusion or whatever else you can think of. But yeah, its always been n sync with how the minds (only?) working at that moment.
Maybe for some reason I have all the songs that go along with all those emotions somewhere close to me, and by the way its not like I select and play them myself, its got to do nothing with me, cud be the next track on my phone, the radio with the local chaiwala, or the local music store blaring out songs from the speakers that they place outside their shops... its just not something that I control...
Not that I am going to be the one who complains about it :)
Now the more educated or the cynics would say (I include myself here btw) that its just another game played by the mind. As someone once said the mind sees what it wants to see... maybe its just that my mind finds some weirdly concocted way to relate the songs with the frame of mind... but then again dont you think its an awful lot of coincidence managing to do that almost every time?
Anyway, I am not sure why I am writing all this, other than the fact that I am listening to songs and well what do you know, they still are in sequence, in sequence with the times, thoughts and well who knows what else :)
Cheers to Life

hey it happens to me all the time... It used to be daily dose of quotes on SMS for me... Music happens too... It's beautiful isn't it? And someone did tell me that really the mind sees what it wants to see! But its a freaky coincidence!
Strange... have the same experience with quotes myself... actually its more to do with my daily dose of religious text... I subscribe to The Vine from where I get a daily explanation of the scriptures. Now I dont read them everyday but then keep them unread and read them when I feel like it.. and for some wierd reason beyond my comprehension it does befit the thoughts tht are going on my head on that particular day.
Maybe its just the way the mind sees it but then yeah... it sure is beautiful... guess we do need at times to believe in the unbelievable even if it just be nothing else than the mind at play :)
