Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting

अत्रैव प्रतीक्षां  करिष्यामि ते (I'll be right here waiting for you)





One of the best songs ever pouring out emotions of some form of separation anxiety!



What is the mechanics of missing someone?



Well, It's a withdrawal syndrome!



For those who smoke and tried to quit smoking they would get withdrawals because of lack of nicotine in their blood stream.



Now when are fond of someone  the brain experiences a surge in neurotransmitters like Serotonin and Dopamine and it gives us a happy feeling at times even euphoria.



Thats is why when a person has depression at times a psychiatrist prescribes SSRIs  which increase the levels of Serotonin in the brain to keep depression at bay.



Now back to the mechanics of missing someone...the person we are fond of serves as our "SSRI"..that person increases the Serotonin in the brain and makes us happy.



Now what happens when we do not see the person?



The Serotonin levels come down and so does our mood because of withdrawal syndrome and next we know we are singing out "I'll be right here waiting for you"



What has this got to do with learning Sanskrit?



Well its does!



For effective learning of anything  a healthy level of Serotonin is essential as it helps memory retrieval and understanding.



Anyway...breakdown of today's words:



अत्रैव atraiva  (right here)



 प्रतीक्षां  pratIkSAm (waiting)



करिष्यामि kariSyAmi (I'll be)



 ते  te (for you)
