Enjoying music



In our fast lives there is little time to appreciate small things such as admiring the twittering of birds in morning, enjoying the shade of a tree in afternoon, appreciating the mellifluous notes of song. I know, of course we have got our iphones, ipods to enjoy the music at any time but I fear, many a times It is just a way to while away time in a metro without being able to really appreciate the art of a musician

I know there are lesser songs which we can call artistic to admire among today's cookie cutter music, which brings me to my next point.
Have you ever done this:- Sit back, relax with no voice in the room except the wafting melody of a classic song and flowing with the feeling the singer invokes.

If you have You know the feeling.
If you haven't Try it sometime. :)

P.S.
Here is an english classic song You can try: 'Heart of gold' by Neil Young



For hindi there are many
One of my favourites being : Ajeeb Dastaan hain yeh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJLdL5_QkVo


If you would like, Share the song you enjoyed :)

Movies you can watch - The Holiday (2006)


Corny as in sentimental but some dialogues in the movie are well written.
The other good thing about the movie is it touches upon the concept of 'unrequited love'.
Watch it if you just want to see a romantic movie.


Cons: Hollywood writers are way to liberal with 'sex' - Sleeping with a stranger because he looks good??

Movies you can watch - This is the end (2013)


What can I say about this movie. Crude dialogues, selfish characters .... But still manages to keep the suspense with excellent acting by all cast.

A no brainer in the sense Switch off your brains when you watch it. Watch it to the end.

Movies you can watch - Monsoon wedding (2001)


When you have accomplished actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz and Rajat Kapoor with a riveting drama on Indian wedding. You can't really go wrong.

The film raises issues without dragging and has got well written conversations.

Watch it for its take on Indian weddings, social commentary and good cinema.
