So I stepped out of my office and was greeted by darkness all around.
Eh, but I thought I left on time?
I looked at my watch. 6:15 pm. Besides, I had just bumped into a colleague, who, just like me, likes to leave on time.
Oh, so it was the dark clouds.
It was raining pretty hard, and as I opened my umbrella and made my way to the bus stop, trying to dodge vehicles that generously sprayed me with a light brown liquid, I figured that my 'Rain playlist' was in order.
It started off with the semi-classical 'Megha chhayi aadhi raat', then went on to the elegant ghazal by Jagjit Singh 'Garaj baras pyaasi dharti par phir pani de maula'. Soon, the beautiful duet from Betaab 'Badal yun garajta hai' was playing, followed by 'Rimjhim rimjhim' from '1942 - A love story'. 'Pani pani re' from 'Maachis' followed shortly afterwards. Then there was Asha Bhosle's quirky 'Chhoti si kahani se, baarishon ke pani se'. There was no 'On the roof, in the rain' (Sorry, Shekhar!) but the playlist ended with Raveena Tandon's sexy 'Tip tip barsa pani' from 'Mohra'.
And I could not help but wonder at the features of this amazing instrument.

Huh? What the hell is wrong with the drunkards at Sayeshaz? No one has come as yet? Weird. Chalo, mujhe kya? I got the GOLD!!!!!!!! Now, let me read the post. :D
*Speaks in a slow, sad voice* An I Pod? AN I POD??? I WANT ONE TOO!!!! *wails* I want an I Pod!!!!!! *Wipes off her unshed tears* I'll get it someday...aur woh bhi accha sa video waala. :P
How can you forget "Barkha rani zara jamke barso" and "aaj rapat jayen" and "dekho dekho dekho barsat ki jhadi" etc. etc.
also, what about poor souls whose "I" - Pod when switched on would give a complex to all the frogs around them.
:) i love the song tip tip barsa pani.. i really wish it rained here in chennai.. even the thought is soothing..
You werent talking about a real i-pod, were you? U were talking about urself, right?
Got confused on reading the comments before mine! :)
Free Ipod is every persons head and all the songs stored in it
kya sayesha!
our "little arrangement" is not working properly. that ...... girl got the gold? esp. when she's supposed to be "studying"??? naansense
kuch karna padega.
oh, and an "I"-pod like that, would need one thing, tho, intense focus.:-) i can imagine mine switching between songs like a radio scanning the stations...
Huh! That only missed a melodious "Rim Jhim Gire Saawan.." by kishoreda.
Christ! I just realized i don't know any rain-themed songs. I suppose Rain When I Die doesn't really count.
and u also missed 'rimjhim gire saawan' from the movie 'manzil' (if i am not wrong.) so your I pod was really( I mean you were really singing aloud) yaa bus mann hee mann mein.
chaliye, happy I-poding.
Yes Sayesha, my friends at CTS had shown me their I-Pods, which they got from their company as a gift, when it became a billion dollar company. Great thing to store songs. Really.
Another song which you could add to your collection is "Sun Sun Sun Barsaat Ki Dhun, Sun" from film Sir of the 90s. Great composition and very correctly sung by Sanu-da my favourite singer.
Another one "Barsaat ke din aye, mulaquat ke din aye" from film Barsaat 2005.
Errr I think it only works if your "I" Pod has a large memory... Mine is probably like 100MB or something so I'm sticking with my IPod! :P
oops iPod (l.c.) I mean, heh.
An "I" Pod... hmm... I have one tooo!!!
What about English songs? U dont like 'em? :(
'Raindrops keep fallin on my head...' :)
me still saving up money for my 1st IPOD.. or rather trying to save.. :-(
Someday...
Yes, a 'beautiful mind' does not need any electronic apparatus, however snazzy it might look!
and u can add
instant composer also...depends on the mood though..
wat abt "saawan barse tarse dil.." Akshaye Khanna and Sonali Bendre..that is one lovely song... nice tune and all that...
and no i wont comment about the iPod. mummmmyy i want one tooooo...
have read almost all your entries. they are good (understatement)
@Milind:
I did not write any bad things like others.
Geez, what do you mean by "the others"? No one writes bad things here...you're accusing us of something which we've never done...*gasps audibly* :P
You took it seriously? Relax. I was kidding, kid. :P
There should have been `Rim Jhim Gere Sawan' from Manzil (Lata's version) in your Rain playlist. But thanks for including two great RD Burman songs from Betaab and 1942 ALS. Meanwhile, I am waiting for my ipod ...
