My takeaway was unexpected. I zeroed
in on the music composer for the show - Siddhartha Khosla! I have seen his name
in the credits of one of my favourite shows, This is us. I already enjoy the
writing for that show and lately, I started paying attention to the music as
well. I realized that the music for that show adds another poignant layer to my
experience as a viewer. Now, I blame both the writing and the music for the
tears I shed during every single episode.
Today, I Googled Siddhartha Khosla and
found out that he was roommates with Dan Fogelman during their college years.
It is wonderful that they met when they did and got to collaborate later on and
make magic for one viewer named Momley.
I have collaborated with a few people
in my own lifetime, but the one collaboration I look forward to may never
materialize. I believe it would be delightful if I ever got to work with one or
both of the boys. Hans did express a desire to collaborate a couple of years ago. I guess it could happen.
Today as well as for the last two days,
I have been reflecting on my life. The recent passing away of a young mom has
deeply affected me. While I am trying to find meaning in my life, I am so glad
I am still able to find wonder in the world that I exist in.
On
that note, I am so grateful to Phoebe Waller-Bridge for having created, written
and starred in one of the best television shows I had the pleasure of watching.
Even at 45, I am glad I am able to find people who inspire me. Some of them are
younger than me and the one I’d like to close with is my dad - he will be 70 in
2020 and he recently received an award for the 9th record time.
Apparently, that was one of his goals before his eventual retirement!
