Musical nostalgia...

What is it exactly about music that can affect me so deeply? tho' i dont think am an exception at all... have too many people around who seem to be equally susceptible to its power.

But there's an amazing amount of boring consistency in 'my kind of music' - and tho i realized this ages back... havent really been able to get past it (have i truly tried... now lets not get THAT honest!!)

My kind of music = either solid lyrics or absolutely foot-tapping dancable non-sensical stuff!!!

Nothing less has ever passed my muster and hopefully will ever do... am severely allergic to anything that sounds like shattering glass or screeching tyres or even worse screaming witches!!! :-)

But there's another aspect to music - am sure for everyone who's even a wee-bit involved in what's entering their ears - it creates associations... and memories... and sometimes these start overshadowing the original emotions that the song generated!! For example recently on a flight - a friend refused to let me play a song which had some sad memories for her!! in essence - the song had lost its original place for her - all she could remember was what the song held by way of memories...hmmm... pretty common i think...

but then - being the absolute nut-case of a control-freak that i am... i refuse to let memories hold me back from enjoying 'my kind of music' today!! :-) as it is - its rare enough for me to find music that i truly enjoy... and if i start depleting that resource also becoz of something... what'll i be left with!!!
(does this sound as weird to others as i think????)

so here's a toast to an ever-looping set of music for my ears... and to all the memories they will create going forward...

:-)

Main khud hi khud ki hamsafar...

Apni zameen main hoon khud Aasmaan bhi main Apni pyaas bhi main hi hoon Uss pyaas ki raahat bhi main Khud ki khushi to hoon hi Apna hi hoon gam bhi Rakshak main hi to hoon apni Aur shayad apni hi bhakshak bhi Bhanwar mein fassi bhi main hoon Bachne ka sahara bhi Iss safar ka aagaaz bhi main hoon Aur safar ka anjaam bhi Dhoop se tadpana bhi mujhe hai Thandak ki chaaya bhi main Raste ki thokar bhi main hoon Sahara liye ek haath bhi main Raat ka andhera hoon main Chandani ki roshni bhi hoon Savere ki thandak hoon main Aur dhoop ki tadpan bhi hoon Main hi manzil hoon khud apni Main hi hoon apna safar bhi Main hi karwaan iss safar ka Uss karwaan mein main tanha bhi Main hi khud ki hamsafar hoon Hoon apni hi saheli bhi Kab kaise main ban gayi Khud apni hi parchhayi bhi…

If Only's...

Isn't everyone's life incomplete without at least a few of these 'If Only's...'? :-) life would be absolutely stupidly boring if we didnt have those moments of reflection where we could go 'if only...' followed with a deep deep heartfelt sigh!! To me having these moments reassure me - tell me that am not just human, but also a person capable of learning from my past... If Only i had not given up easily on the first job offer i got.. just because my family didnt want me to stay away alone... If Only I had persisted and learnt singing the way i wanted to... just because i was too lazy to do the bus trips to mandi house... If only i had learnt swimming early enuf.. i wud have enjoyed australia that much more... If only i hadnt made an ego issue out of a simple fight with a friend... and instead gone back and apologized... If Only the guy i had a huge crush on - reciprocated my feelings... ;-) and so on and so forth... am sure its easy enuf to guess that the lis...

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business ...
