Music can simply be labeled as a blend of various ordered sounds that unite to form a soothing effect, but the realm of music is very comprehensive. In a broader sense music is termed as a magic that flows through your veins and hits both your body and the soul. Various ingredients that make music a touching obsession are Pitch (Tune and Harmony), Rhythm (Beats and Pulse), Dynamics and the sonic traits incorporated with vocal echo. Varied Modes and Themes of Music say Romantic, Sad, Patriotic, Dance and Meditation, have the power to bring immense change to human mood and that too within no time. Music and songs have always been a perfect source of relaxation for all.

Indian music basically originated with some traditional classical compositions but slowly and steadily transformed into modern day Hindi melodies. Nowadays Hindi music is not just confined to India but is making a mark all over the world, thanks to the growing Technology and awareness.
