MUSIC ! and some nostalgia...

I used to sing "Yamunai atrile eera katrile kannanodu naan aada" from dhalapathy movie when I was at college. There'll be always a group of my friends who will wait for me to sing that song. Can't just forget that.

When we were young me and my brother used to sing, "Ullathil nalla ullam urangathenbadhu" from karnan movie. My father recorded our voices, even today its such a memorable song.

When I started my first job, uyire/Dil Se movie got released. I had then picked up "Eksooraj nikhalatha kuch paara pighala tha ...Dil se re, dil se re". We had a big server at our work where all colleagues dumped our collections and we network to that server and keep listening to non-stop hits.

Almost all 80s-90s ilayaraja songs. Those were the times I was in middle and high school. They were mostly hit songs. That kindles school time and teen age memories

Thirupachi aruvala theetikittu vada vada, Echi elumbichi etc from movie Taj Mahal - This reminds me of the gold old days we were at working women's hostel. My roomie is a hardcore fan of this folk songs, she'll be with her headphones and walkman even when she uses restroom ;-) (Ofcourse later I was a turned fan for these numbers).

Wow, nice thread mindi :thumbsup You have made me nostalgic.

I was thinking about this just today and stumbled upon this thread. Today it was raining heavily and i was listening to romantic hindi songs and was carried back to my college days.

Old songs esp kishore songs sweep me off my feet.My dh used to sing chori-chori for me while dating.We were neighbours then. Some of the songs which remind of those days are:
Tumse badkar duniya mein......from kamchor
Yeh kahan aa gaye hum .....from silsila
Jeevan ke har mod par mil jayenge humsafar
Chehra hai ya chand khila ....from sagar
Dilbar mere kab tak mujhe ....from sharabi
Mere samne wali khidki mein.....from padosan (as me/dh stayed in opposite houses)

Huh!! Now im getting very nostalgic.....and feeling like being a teenager again.

 

Mindi dear,

Are you my soulmate? How did you guess! I WAS nostalgic the other day.

It was on Tuesday evening ,driving back from work I was listening to songs from the movie Aradhana, which brought back memories of my mother and our Aradhana date! Way back in 1974/75 I think, I had just joined college ,one Sunday afternoon my mom told me ," Usha , this movie is in town and I want to go with you but I dont want to spend much of the time going to the loo or to buy popcorn. How do we manage it? " My siblings were much younger and dad was out of town. It meant what do we do with the little ones. My mother was such a romantic I knew she was sold on seeing it. So I asked my paternal grandmother who lived with us. She was a grand old lady. She told us not to worry and she will keep them entertained .What a whale of a time we had!

Oh! Yes! MUSIC and song I love it. Especially Mohd.Rafi & P.B.Srinivas.Their music and voice is sheer magic & romance. How as a teenager I used to dream of marrying someone who could sing like them! And yes I fell in love with my DH's voice I must confess but sadly he cannot get a single not right! And all time favourites MLV and MS. I still cry when I hear MLV'S rendition of Purandaradasa.

Perhaps MUSIC is the ONLY addiction that is universal ( even animals and plants love it ) and is 200% therapeutic! Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like music?

Thank you, Mindi for the lovely post.......taking us down memory lane.

Love,
Usha

 

Mindian, i still remember my mom scolding saying that the rewind button in the taperecorder will cry if you continue to rewind and play for lyrics collection.....
