My top 10 favorite songs.

As said before, researchers say that music has the ability to rekindle your old memories. I truely vouch for this study coz whatever I am enlisting below are songs that still manage to make me feel happy, motivated or even sad.

Song no.10: Tere Bina Zindagi se koi (film: Aandhi). I heard this song for the first time when I was in 12th standard and instantly got hooked to it. No specific memory associated to it, but I just love it for it's melody.

Song no. 9: Aashayein (film: Iqbal). I was having a bad time at Star Plus office. I was truely bored of my job and was feeling defeated. one evening as I was travelling back home, I heard this song and you wont believe this, I actually felt good and motivated enough to move ahead in life. Awesome lyrics and awesome music...this song will remain one of my all time favourites.

Song no. 8: Preeti Sagar's nursery Rhymes. As a kid my favorite pass time I guess was to fall ill. Whenever I would fall sick, my brother or mom would put on preeti Sagar's nursery rhymes and believe it or not...i would manage to sleep well after listening to it.

Song no. 7: Taaye Yashoda (sung by Yesudas I think). It's a tamil song about women complaining to Yashoda maiyya about her natkhat nandalal. Very sweet song. No specific memory associated...it's just a song that I have heard as a kid and still hum when I am happy.

Song no. 6: Tanhai (film: Dil Chahta Hain). I must have heard this song like for 100 times when the phillum got released. Just loved sonu's voice in this song.

Song no.5: Pal (sung by: KK). The song I bet must be played during every farewell party. Firstly KK has sung it so well and secondly it reminds me of my graduation days that were filled with loads of sweet memories.

Song no.4: Yaaron Dosti (sung by: KK). Yet another song from KK. I keep singing this when I remember my best friend Sangi who stays some kilometers away from me and is not reachable thanks to the phone bills that she never pays.

Song no.3: It's my life (sung by: Bon Jovi). I have too many aspirations in life. Before listening to this song, I used to do nothing but just ponder over what I must do and what I should not do. I was driven by social norms. One day a radio station played this song, I found the tune quite catchy. I downloaded the song the very next week, and heard it along with the lyrics. My interpretation of the song is...it's your life and you are not going to live forever...so just stop pondering and LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!

Song no.2: Sunscreen Song. My brother had sent me this . I liked it so much...now it has become like a bible/bhagwat gita for me. It tells you how to lead your life and what you should and should not do. Very good must say...though it does not sound too peppy.

Song no. 1: Bharat Humko Jaan se bhi pyaara hain + Bombay Theme. If it's AR Rahman, it has to be memorable. It's been 12 years since I heard this song. It's still fresh in my mind. even now, when a news channel covers a news on Bomb blasts etc...they do not fail to play the Bombay theme music in the background. I just love them both.

These are the top 10 songs that i truely love and will remain my all time favorites forever.

Long Live Music...Long Live Music Therapy!!!

Music, The Great Elixir of life...

I was flipping through the 'Brunch' magazine that comes every sunday with Hindustan Times. Today the cover story of Brunch discussed about the role played by music in rekindling some old (bitter and sweet) memories that we bury or forget as we move ahead in life. The writer had interviewed nine well-known celebrities about the songs that rekindles their past memories.

How I wish they had interviewed me too...coz I have not one but ten top songs that brings back some good and bad memories of my 22 years on planet earth. I shall enlist those ten songs here and also explain what kind of memory do i associate with that particular song. But before that I want to tell you the importance of music in my or for that matter everyone's life.

Music, according to me is the best healer when in pain and a positive addiction when life seems unfair to you. Forget drugs, sutta or daru, turn on the music and see what miracles it does to you. I am highly addicted to music. While solving my maths problems, while going through a rough patch in my Junior College, or while falling...music was and still remains my best friend. I need not pour out my heart to anyone...I just need to put on the music and get immersed into the world of melody.

I am not a true music aficionado, I do not follow a particular genre of music. For me anything that sounds appealing to my ears is a good music. Whether it's my mom crooning preeti sagar's nursery rhymes for me as a kid or the foot tapping numbers of RD Burman or the high pitched Rahat Fateh Ali Khan singing Bolna Halke Halke...anything that appeals to my ears is music for me.

Now enough of bakwaas...I am enlisting my top ten favorite songs in the next blog. These songs I tell you will remain my all time favorites till the time I breathe my last breath (yucks...what melodramatic statements I make).
