The Musical Tadka in just another day in life

Waking up to the alarm set in the phone, which is a monotone, a tone which most sound sleepers do not like at all, I realise it is the beginning of yet another day in my life. Nudging the natural instinct of searching for the TV remote and tuning into one of the music channels of the VH1, MTV, UTV Bindaas fame, I put on my lappy. As it boots into life, i am wincing my eyes and trying to get used to the surroundings i am in (though i get up & see the same things everyday).The purpose of getting on the lappy is not to getting online and check what many of my “virtual” friends have done in the last 12 hours, but to listen to some good music. Music by its nature is like a lady in different attires. The fight now is between hip-hop, R&B and their cousins and soft, instrumental and devotional music.

As classically proven, the Go(o)d wins over the dark(loud) forces. But still, the decision making unit in the body, the Mind is faced with various thoughts, so it decides to include some western classical music in the playlist. So here we go, to start with we have Yanni, the master. The rain must fail, acroyali-standing in motion, santorini and swept away just start off and i go for a small trip to dreamland. I am woken with the pleading of a nice voice in “Prabhuji” (Meera Kahe – Richa Singh). The number of times i hear to it, i want to hear it dat many more times. While i am lost in the beautiful “MayaNagari” that the name of Krishna takes you to, a sneak peek at the right hand bottom of my computer suggests it’s time to hit the showers.

As all of you my friends will know, we are all great bathroom singers. So there is a continuous playlist that goes on once inside the bathroom (Many of my hostel mates would agree to this). The singing becomes a hum all d while when getting ready, cos my roomies do not want to get up in the morning listening to my “LATA”-like voice.

All decked up in the attire of a typical professional, we have decided to make it to the office.But being the music aficionado that we are, we want some Madhura bhaspalu in the ears,so be it.The radio is switched on in the car, and bursts out from there RJ Shraddha or MJ Prithvi telling wat a bad jam is at XYZ place/ ABC junction and the day is made. They quickly make it up by announcing the next few back-2-back songs, like a “ Chikni Chameli” and a Sonu Nigam sung ”Tumhi Dekho na” and we reconsider the statement just made . Listening to the songs peppered by numerous ads for everything starting from hairfall treatment to holiday packages, from lovely deals at the best restaurants in town to the numerous contests running all day long on these radio channels, we crawl through the traffic to finally reach Office.

So once in there it is all work, work and work ...So catch you folks during lunch time.....

Till then, keep listening to Music.
