Scratch that!

Channel 96.3 plays Bollywood songs from 5 pm to 8 pm, which is just nice as that's when I am cooking dinner and need some good music. It also serves as a good alarm clock to ensure Viv gets home from work at a decent time on the nights we go to the gym. If the Hindi songs are still playing when he gets home, he's in the 'safe zone'. But if the 8 pm Korean songs have started and he's still not home (aka most days), oh boy... let's just say the Korean music would not be the only music he would face.

So back to the Bollywood channel. I especially like this section called 'Time machine' where they play oldies from the 90s and before. The other day, they were playing 'Dil deewana' from 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'. I had not heard that song in at least a decade. To my utter surprise, I found myself singing along not only to the mukhda but the antara as well! I was amazed that I remembered every single word! (By the way, "Jee yeh chaahe banaake aanchal tumko lapetun tann pe" just sounds WRONG.)

So impressed was I with my own memory that I decided I would sing along to whatever they played that evening. I just hoped there wouldn't be songs I didn't know. (Oh the horror!)

To my utter delight, I heard the sounds of "Oye oye! Oye-o-o-aa!"

"I know the lyrics to this song too! Yeay!" I thought as I waited for the music to get over so I could start singing.

The song started. And guess what I found myself singing? Really loudly and confidently at that?

"Khujli karne waale! O-o-o-o-o-o! B-Tex lagaa le!"
