We all listen to music, but we have underestimated the power of music. The author brings out LISTENING TO MUSIC as an art. 

While there are books that deal with the darkness of the 90s, the author of this book deals with the innocence of 90s. When the basis of the book is musical, one definitely cannot think of darkness. Hence, the story deals with beauty and simplicity of life – just like music that is soulful and beautiful. More than that you will never listen to music just as a time pass or background activity. The book shall clear a lot of misconceptions about music and provide a new way of brain spa to people.

On a daily basis a normal human day will include office work, some gossip, sometimes he will read an article, sometimes chat, sometimes read, sometimes we talk about old times – memories, then we talk about work, then something else, whatever comes in naturally based on mood, atmosphere, person we are talking to etc., we never plan what we talk.
