Songs: Doors to the memory lane

Have you ever wonder, there are certain cues which take you back to the memory lane - protray the emotions and surrounding in front of your eyes and leaves you with a smile of satisfaction or a lingering sadness !

Songs work as those cues for me and if I'm not wrong for many of you. There are certain songs when I hear them my sole flies back in time. As I remember songs of Mukesh, my father used to listen, and whenever I hear those songs I bacome a small child listening curiously that mesmerizing voice.

As I started growing the Bollywood songs captured me with their charm. Listening songs of Tridev and Hero shows my childhood with my friends and my aunt. The entry of the legend Rahman was a great impact. Songs from Roja take me to a town of Chalisgaon when I was in fourth standard. I see my grandparents, a big tree in front of their house and summer evenings spent under that tree.

Songs of Judwa and Mohabbatein take me on the stage of Drama theatre in Sangamner where I performed in high school annual program. They also show me the practice sessions in evenings and having fun with friends.

I moved to Pune for my engineering studies. And songs of Saathiya take me to my room and sleeping listening to "Chupke se" every night. After college moving to Mumbai was a big change. Still the songs were with me. Song "it's magic" Kareena Kapoor reminds of my friend Vibhor and Akshay is reminded by song "Hey shona" from Tara rum pum.

Song of Delhi 6 takes me to winter nights of Fargo and club songs take me in my lovely car and I remember listening fm y94.

There are other memories and persons attached to songs and they flash in my eyes when I listen those songs. The Most memorable song is the lullabies of my grandma singing "Dev jari maj kadhi bhetala" for me!!

I guess this is time to close your eyes and see if the song is taking you to any place or person. Don't forget to post your experience in comments! !

I hate airports!!

Every time I sit on an airport waiting for my flight or to pick somebody, this comes in my mind, I hate airports. There are many places I love, I like to sit there, I like to observe people. But airports are certainly not in that list.

Railway stations, people are waiting for their trains. But there you see a certain attachment. I don't know why I feel a bliss of love there. The smell of oil, burnt things, diesel, snacks, fruits ... It gives me a sense of care. There is a lot of drama on the railway station, you can see the movie Hugo and imagine such countless stories happening all over the world.

Bus stations are bit distant in nature. Still they take me down my memory lane. Sitting on bust station, waiting for the bus to come and take me to my grandma's house. It feels like you make a bond with everybody sitting around you. It might be a love, hate, curiosity, or just he/she is so ugly bond.

But on airports, I feel I don't belong here. This is some alien land. A way too clean place. No love and everyone is seeing you with suspicion. Nobody cares for the other person and everybody is so engrossed to catch something else in some other city.

But when I see a 50 years old daughter meets her 75 years old father - they hug and go home, I feel actually airports are not that of a bad place. I wonder if this trend continues I may start loving airports too!!

शेर Sher!!

I am not a Shayar but it just came in mind and I thought it is an okay Sher so posting here.

बात जुबान पर है - लेकीन कह नहीं सकते !

कमबख्त इश्क कमीना है - इसे सह नहीं सकते !! 

It says: I have words on my tongue but I can't say them - this love is a bad thing that I can't take it anymore!! 

 

New beginning

Hi all,

I know I promised I will be more regular posting new things but I did not post anything - haha. That's not actually true - I was working on a new idea.

Some of you may have experienced - you get up in the morning and then start humming a song or it happens you are doing some work and in your mind some song is playing... I had same experience many times and I thought why not share these songs - these are nice songs, bad songs, old songs, new songs, Hindi, Marathi, English - from any country doesn't matter! Only criteria behind choosing these songs is that these were stuck in my head for that morning or whole day.

This is the advertisement part and this is third month of the new blog and I now feel that I have enough songs that I should start promote it! So follow the link and follow this blog too. The name is "The Song Stuck in My Head" If you like it don't forget to tell it to your friends too and promote haha !!
