My music guru is not happy with the amount of time I spend doing riyaaz (music practice). "You should put in extra effort and time into doing your riyaaz" he told me.
"Manifestation. Let me imagine myself as a great singer - then may be I will actually become one" I said to myself and started my riyaaz session today.
I thought I had an especially resonant timbre to my voice today - so opening my mouth wide (like I see the great singers do) I launched into an extended sustaining on the base "Sa" note.
As I was admiring my own resonant voice a mosquito suddenly manifested. This was just about the time I had reached the end of the long sustain on the note and had to draw a deep breath again.
I don't know how it happened - but the mosquito got drawn into my mouth when I was drawing my deep inward breath. I could feel it enter my throat.
I coughed violently wanting to expel it. But nothing came out. I could still feel it stuck in my throat.
I drank a lot of water and ate some biscuits hoping it would descend into my stomach.
I think it is still stuck in my throat as there definitely is a buzz in my voice now when I sing.
