WARNING : This is a heavy post… literally… the page may take time to load thanks to so many videos, I cant resist posting so I thought I might as well put a few songs I love…
I have always been in love with music… and no matter what time of the day or occassion… I always have a tune to hum to… I have a song on my lips all the time… !
I also am a bit of a Tansen and not a lot of Kansen… I generally hum along and many a times my lyrics are jumbled up… but I love singing anyways… !!
I thought I should maybe link some songs… just coz I cannot resist posting… !! I really cant…
(addicted & badly)
When I was a kid the first lullaby that my Mom sang is difficult to reproduce here… it was in kutchi and I and my wife have sung the same to hriday… but that apart we have had our dose of film songs…….. as a family we are totally filmy !!! TOTALLY !!
the earliest memory of my life is of this song from Ab Dilli Door Nahi…
My dad would frequently sing for me, he knows this song by heart… but now he wont sing… dont know why !!
My mom would often sing me this song from Aradhna… which I am sure a lot of mom’s sang for their kids…
As I started growing up… Sholay, Amitabh and particularly Gabbar Singh caught my fancy… I would play Gabbar Singh in fancy dress competitions… I was too chubby… !! lol… Movies of Amitabh and Amjad Khan would be a rage in those times… !! it was truly their era… and when Mr. Natvarlal came for us kids Amitabh was the most favourite… I dont know how many times I have heard this song… but it has to be one of the most favourite song while growing up…
Amitabh may look funny now in this song… but for a growing up kid he was a huge hero… There were other favourites like Lakdi ki Kaathi and Nanha Munna raahi hoon…. but nothing like Mere paas aao mere doston… it was lovely plus it had my favourite ‘Tiger’ in it !!!!!!

Then in about 8th standard or so…. a friend introduced me to english music… and one of the oldest I remember is the Jail house Rock by Elvis Presley…
I just cant still believe the kind of music this song has… and if this song doesnt make you throw your head back rock… nothing ever will… !!!
As a teenager the love songs caught an amazing fancy…
the idea was to woo… the girls…
be it…
Used to show your charms… if it didnt work… you had …
showing your shyness… but vast tea gardens of love..
if that didnt work…
or … this one showed you were going to be the most loyal…
if even that didnt work…
show your heart size… :) if that doesnt work…
than gale pado… I cant help loving you… he he he
as an alternative you have this one too…
anything would do as long as they helped in wooing a girl and when nothing would work …. none of the above would work…. this was the sure shot song that had the girls sympathy for sure…….
When the girl played hard to get… you played this song !!!!!!!!!
:mrgreen: Its a sure shot success therapy…. are you listening Vimmuuu, OG !!!!! …. lol…. try this one out… !!!
(not that you guys need advise… I m sure you are playing the heartbreak kids !!! )

There were some songs which I used to specifically sing for my wife… not that she loved to hear a lot… but she would hear them for her love for me and I had found someone who would listen to me… these songs I used to sing specifically for her…
She did change my life and made me better…. made me steady of all things… lol
and than this… I used to think I can match Jagjit Singh… but no… that voice is divine… untouchable… dont even try… !!
then there is this one that I used to sing for my Mom… indicating its time … Mom… !!!
I really used to bore my mom singing this song all the time… !!!!
This is one song I used to really sing for my wife in her pregnancy… and even for hriday as a lullaby…
——-
Amazingly there seems to be a song for every mood… for every moment of life…
When I am happy I sing..
When I am down I sing…
When the mood is to be wild and to scream …. (this is “A” rated…) these three I love… !!
This song is unbelievable… !!! Really…
this one is the sexiest ever…
and when I really want to abuse…
then again this was a nice song too…. !!!!!!! but the F word was an amazing liberation at that time… in a song… !! It provoked the rebels inside us….

There are some which me thinks I can sing alike… just like mukesh…
Sometimes I feel I have a bit of Rafi in me tooo…
Even a Kay kay in me… lol…
now you know how badly mistaken I am.. but nevertheless… I always convince myself I have many singers inside me…
the list of songs is endless… yes ENDLESS… If I load any more I think the page wont load… I dont know if this is going to load anyways… but before I bid adios… I gotta add one last song… another one of my favourites…. and guys do listen to them …. !!!!!!!
