Ye Tumhari meri baatein hamesha yun hi chalti rahein…

Music is the food of life. Ok if not life, it certainly is the food for thoughts. I mean every song that we hear has some or the other memory attached to it… no kidding… the other day I was sitting with a friend and I played Ajeeb daastan hai ye and he went into a trance thinking about his girl friend!

I listen to Gela gela dil gela or Dhoom machale and I am instantly reminded of dahi-handi and rain-dancing in first year of my engineering college… o what fun that was!

Or Page 3 – kitne ajeeb rishte hain yahan pe… this is one song which makes me relive my entire first year in college. Right from the time I came to Pune to pursue engineering, to making my first friends in Pune to attending all those Engineering Graphics classes of JVK sir to becoming a ‘mau (read maushi ;))’ for the first time and experiencing the exhilarating joy of holding a new born!

I listen to Tujhse naraaz nahi zindagi and it takes me back to the evening when my family was watching masoom on tv. I don’t remember the year or the date, but the emotion of watching a movie with your family is one worth cherishing!

Jab we met is yet another movie whose songs will always build up memories, for it is a movie very close to my very close friend. In fact, not just one, but two of my friends go into a flashback listening to Jab we met!

Songs/music not only manages to give you Goosebumps, but some songs also help you come out of the gloom and cheer you up to the soul.


Pyar kiya to nibhana is a song close to my heart even today, for it was when I had my first crush (though till date I have absolutely no clue as to what that person’s name was or who he was!), but the song I shall always remember!!

Aye udi udi udi reminds me of 12th std prelims! So does Cigarette ke dhuen ka challa bana ke from Kaante… ji haan, jab mann laga kar padhna chahiye tha, tab we used to watch movies! Now you know why I didn’t get 95% in 12th? ;)

Even today the charm of DDLJ is not lost! The other day I was listening to Ho gaya hai tujhko to pyar sajana, and it just brought me back to my cheerful bubbly state in 10seconds flat!

Old songs shall always remain classics… I can listen to Ye raatein ye mausam, Dil ki nazar se, Kisi ki muskurahaton pe ho nisar, Pyar hua ikraar hua anytime anywhere…

And some songs have so many emotions attached, that they can’t be described! Like the title of this post :)
