A few days back I was listening to "Dil Chah tha hai" and I was immediately back in college.
The day the movie released, the college was on strike (coincidence for what ?),the minute we heard about the strike we jumped the hostel gates and caught a bus to movie theatre .When we got in,it was like we were back inside our classroom ,with exception of select few all our classmates were there. The movie was good ,company great and songs amazing.The dialogues and songs remained on our lips for a long time.
I love this about the songs, certain songs takes us back , bringing back the smiles ,excitement and warmth.
The children's pancha tantra songs sung byYesudas and chitra were my favorites when I was a kid.I love those songs, it takes me to my grandma's house .After lunch, on rainy afternoons cherryamma would play the cassette for me. When my son was born, cherryamma asked me what she should get for him, I told her I wanted the songs and sure enough she got one for him , the only difference is,it came on a CD .
"Piya bole" is for Chennai days and GA girls , "Color Blind" is for love lorn self, "Cotton Eye Joe"and Dil se is for college romance and a crazy friend. Now when I open up the blog to write ,my mind goes blank and no songs come to me...I will have to catch them off guard and pen them down as when.
