My day is sometimes defined by the music I begin it with. Today morning, I woke up at eight, desperately wanting to listen to the Swades soundtrack. I had a call to attend at nine AM, and so I had to hurry, but it was too tempting – the computer was on, and the CD was just a mini-search away. It took ten minutes for me to brush because I didn’t want to brush too loudly and drown out the sounds of ‘Yeh Tara’ playing in the other room. Then I spent 20 minutes taking a bath, because the running water would make a lot of noise just when there was an interesting bit of ‘Saanwariya’ playing and I would run out and play it again from the beginning, dripping soapy water all the way. Which is perfectly ok, because the comp is right next to the bathroom. When I got out of the bath, I spent five minutes sitting down and re-listening to ‘Saanwariya’. Then I put ‘Yunhi Chalaa Chal’ on, and put on my clothes while simultaneously wiggling my body, the kind of wiggle that would undoubtedly make strong-hearted men not-so-strong-hearted if they saw me at that point.
In case you haven’t got the drift yet, I was late for the call. There was insane traffic, at a time when there is no traffic at all ( the jams begin at around 9:30-10). One of the lifts was malfunctioning, the one that was working stopped at every floor as it came down and – once I boarded it – also stopped at every floor while going up. And then as I was running to the conference room, someone calls out, “hey, dude, X mailed, the call’s been postponed to ten.”
Like I said….
Sanwariya is my all time favourite as far as romantic solos go. :D
Wiggling is good for the heart, condition notwithstanding ;)
I second that. I think Sanwariya is one of the most exquisite love songs I have heard in a long time as well.
Your userpic!!! Your userpic!! *chokes on laughter*
Say that again ;)
Hmmmm I know what you mean. I have been waking up to music as well. Ever since I figured how to use the ipod for an alarm, it has been awesome, to wake up to the music of my choice and then let it haunt me for the rest of the day. I just realised I haven’t heard Swades since some time now. Am going to go and search for it right now.
I use a Winamp plugin as an alarm. Waking up to booming 5.1 speakers is nice. :-D
All im listening to is Rang De Basanti as far as Hindi Film music goes..
continuing the trend of beautiful romantic tracks, me thinks..
Jiya Dhadak Dhadak rendered by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan as one the besssssst ive heard in a long time..
Yes, I loved that song too. And I actually have to restrain myself from OD-ing on ARR every other day – the Man should be saved for Special Occasions. :-)
