At times, a very small change in thinking can bring about
significant changes in life. For me, the most dramatic change last year was the
acquisition of a Windows phone. Before that, I guess, I have been running
somewhere in the Middle Ages of ignorance and darkness. Suddenly these
observations shock me considerably:
·
That I can do so much with my phone
·
That I can leave so many chores unfinished and sit
with my phone
·
That I can’t do without it any longer
·
That I can kill hours with it altogether
·
That I can listen to favourite songs endlessly
This year, the songs vary in theme and style, but they have
managed to be a kind of foothold in a slightly confusing reality.
Most of these songs were accidentally stumbled upon but they
have played in this habit of playing in the head so much that they have become
part of yearly event calendar this year. The best of the English earworms are Ed Sheeran- Thinking Out
Loud , Ellie
Goulding- Love Me Like You Do, OMI- Cheerleader , Selena Gomez- The Heart
Wants What It Wants and Alexandra Burke- Hallelujiah
Among the desi ones, the best song with each version vying
with the other for its magic is Tere Bin; be it by Uzair Jaswal, or the
song from Ek Paheli Leela
sung by Tulsi Kumar that accompanies Sunny Leone’s assets or even the Bhojpuri version.
So are the songs from Hamari Adhuri Kahani especially Yeh Kaisi Jagan Le Aaye Ho
Tum, Samjawaan
from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya and Naina from Khoobsurat.
However, the best cheer-up songs for me are Dheere Dheere recreated
by Honey Singh and Gulabo
from Shandaar. So are Vidya's remixes of Love Me Like U Do/Hosanna, Mere Sapnon Ki Rani/ Same Old Love and Balam Pichkari/ How Deep is Your Love.
So, this post celebrates a year of songs played, replayed, lost, found or forgotten, just like every single year.
