iShuffle-d

So Pizzadude has tagged me with a very fun music tag.

Here are the rules:
1. Put your music player on Shuffle mode.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. Write the song name no matter what it is.
4. After you've answered all of the questions, tag 5 other people and let them know they've been tagged.

Before embarking on this, I loaded a lot of songs into my ipod to get as big a database as possible for the answers. Oldies, newbies, ghazals, tapori songs, everything. After I did the tag, I realised that almost every song can fit every situation, and so seem very apt for any of the questions. The romantic numbers especially are especially versatile, though they don't keep the gender in check - see number 8 below. Sheesh! :/

And this is what I have:

1. If someone says "Is this okay?", you say:
Dhoop mein niklo, ghataaon mein nahakar dekho
Zindagi kya hai, kitaabon ko hataakar dekho

2. What would best describe your personality?
Aaj main boond hoon, boond hoon barish ki
Aaj main hoon leher, leher hoon khwahish ki

3. What do you like in a guy/girl?
Yeh tumhaari meri baatein
Hamesha yun hi chalti rahein

4. How do you feel today?
Aisa jaadu daala re
Surmayi hai ujaala re

5. What is your life's purpose?
Where's the party tonight?
(Hahahahahahahaha!)

6. What do your friends think of you?
Tu hi tu, tu hi tu satrangi re
Tu hi tu, tu hi tu manrangi re

7. What do you think of your parents?
Tu hi meri shab hain, subah hai, tu hi dil hai mera
Tu hi mera rab hai, jahan hain, tu hi meri duniya

8. What do you think about very often?
Mera dil le gayi oye kammo kidhar
Main dhoondhun usko idhar udhar
(Sheesh!)

9. What is 2+2?
Katra katra milti hai, katra katra jeene do
Zindagi hai, behne do, pyaasi hoon main pyaasi rehne do
(Well, this kind of answers the question if you count the number of times the word 'Katra' is used. But an awesome answer to this would have been 'Garaj baras pyaasi dharti par phir paani de maula' because it actually has a line that I simply love - 'Do aur do ka jod hamesha char kahan hota hai. Soch-samajh walon ko thodi nadani de, maula.')

9. What do you think of your best friend?
Kabhi dil ke kareeb tumhe mere naseeb
Yun layenge socha na tha
(Hehe... true about Viv)

10. What do you think of the person you like?
Kiska hai yeh tumko intzaar main hoon na
Dekh lo idhar toh ek baar main hoon na

11. What is your life story?
Tinka tinka zara zara hai roshni se jaise bhara
Har dil mein armaan hote toh hain, bas koi samjhe zara

12. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Azeem-o-shaan shehenshah farma rawa
(Yeahahahaha!)

13. What do you think of when you see the person you like?
Yeh jo thode se hain paise, kharch tumpar karoon kaise
(I like this one! Economical!)

14. What do your parents think of you?
Na hai yeh paana, na khona hi hai
Tera na hona jaane kyun hona hi hai
(Wah wah, I really hope this is how they miss me back at home.)

15. What will you dance to at your wedding?
Chak de India!

16. What will they play at your funeral?
Mora saiyaan mose bole na
Main laakh jatan kar haari
(OMG! So apt! Hahahahahaha!)

17. What is your hobby/interest?
Phir haath mein sharaab hai sach bolta hoon main
Yeh cheez laajawab hai, sach bolta hoon main
(Sheesh!)

18. What is your biggest secret?
Muhabbat meri jo pyasi hui toh gehri meri udaasi hui
Zindagiiii mein hai tum bin yeh veeraniyannnnn
(Oh no and now the biggest secret is out... that I have Himeshbhai's songs on my ipod!)

19. What do you think of your friends?
Do pal ruka khwaabon ka caravan
Aur phir chal diye tum kahan hum kahan
Do pal ki thi yeh dilon ki daastaan
Aur phir chal diye tum kahan hum kahan
(Ah... true in some ways...)

20. What should you post this as?
Tanha dil tanha safar
Dhoondhe kise phir kyun nazar
Tanha dil

21. What do you think about this tag?
Mujhse naaraaz ho toh ho jao
Khudse lekin khafa khafa na raho

As usual, I tag all the people who have a blog, but have not blogged in the last one month.

Are you sure you didn't manipulate the results? Most of the answers(songs) are just too apt! :)
Anyway, yeah, liked this tag. I'm afraid I won't be able to take this tag up for I forgot my pod at home this time, and don't have too many songs on my cell. Sigh. It'd have been fun!

#amitbhatnagar,
Ya allah! See reply to beatnik.

#Neha,
Arre koi hard and fast rule thode hai! Take the tag! :)

#here i'm,
One thing I noticed is that most songs are romantic numbers so they fit anything, e.g. tu hi meri shab hai for parents, and tumse hi for what yout parents think of you. :)
ps: Take a tag!
