thanks to the title of my new post, I now have your undivided atention (glory be to the ways of PR and media)!!! Amit Tridevi happens to be the music director of the just released Dev D and I am completely in love with the sound track. None of you would have been reading this, if you knew it was a music review. So, here I am doing almost that clubbed with some of the memories the songs have triggered.
well, I chanced upon this song 'emosanal attyachaar' while one of the kids was channel surfing... all of us were hooked to the song instantly (they are 5 and 2 and me 32)... they fell in love with the weird sounding words and music and i went back to my childhood... it triggered my stay at Bhopal (then and even now in MP)... Bhopal in those days had these orchestra guys playing music and singing aloud on big 'haath thelaas' blaring from loud speakers... they even sang the music... like 'tauba tera jalwa, tauba tera pyaar... taain-taain-taain-taain-taain (5 times, then repeat again)... gottit? and it was so much fun... basic bhopu, and yeahs, and tain-tain happening!
coming back, next is a song called 'aankh micholi'... it takes you to a different high... you need to be in a trance... a state of mind that you don't want to come back from... so, go, smoke, pot, booze, feel high and listen to the song... or on second thoughts, maybe just listen to the song... it will be a different kinda high!
And yes, that's all about my love story...isstory... Bhopal kinds!

Before I die(d)... I learnt it is so difficult being good!
don't know why am i writing anything about being good and bad... for me it is always a shade of both... wonder does good or bad really exist? what is good to me may not be good to you ... don't know...
well, what triggered this thing about being good is rather being right... i was at the ticket window wanting to renew my train pass... i have a first class pass and there's a separate queue at the window that allows you to feel special(!!!) by not letting you be a part of the serpentine queues.
Now, that I was there, one look at those in the 2nd class queue and I couldn't just barge in and get done with my pass... those who know me, know I am no saint but somehow it had to do more with not being the right thing to do when there were people waiting from I don't know when... so i waited and let at least 3 people from the 'other' queue pass before I went to the window...
the woman behind me, lost her patience by then and showered me with what-the-hell-do-you-think-you-are-doing kinda look... well, not only looks but showered me with get the hell out of here kinda sentences. I stood my ground, let the 3 people pass and then went on with my ticketing...
next in the train, i stop a lady from throwing garbage out of the window and again i am showered with the above mentioned looks...
really wonder... if it is difficult being good ... is it really difficult standing your ground... your princples?... think whatever it is but it is worth it... for me, i get a kick out of it at the risk of being kicked!
