I caught up….

….. on some hindi music this morning. Abhu and TC would testify how ignorant I can be when it comes to hindi music and movies and such because I hardly watch V, MTV etc. because in like half an hour they manage to show only 2-3 videos max and waste the rest of air-time by airing commercials and crap. I mean, hullo? Do they play music videos or are they ad-channels? Anyway, sorry for digressing.

Actually, I do have an idea about the latest hits thanks to the dhabas outside my building where they play LOUD music every alternate day. But, I just know the tune of the songs. Not the name, the movie, nothing. Zilch. So I inserted this mp3 and listened to the songs that sounded nice and came up with a list of songs which I liked. Here goes…

>> Chand Sifarish (Fanaa) - I really really liked the tabla beats in the song, especially the whistling and the ‘subhan allah’ part. I even danced with imaginary-cute-boy in Indian style with latka jhatkas and all *blush*

>> Tumhi Dekho Na (KANK) (hee I wonder why KJ decided to call it that. It sounds like skank) – Nice song. I had heard it earlier. I didn’t know that it was this song.

>> Teri Yadon Mein (The Killer) – Atif Aslam (he is the singer, right?) has this drunk-devdas type voice which works very well for such songs. I like that Tere Bin also. I hear that song has been blatantly plagiarised from an Indonesian song or something. Or maybe, that was another song. *gives confused look*

>> Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai (movie starring Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Sen)(I don’t know the name of the movie!) – Yeay!! I have seen the video of this song. I saw it only yesterday. I had heard it before, of course *lop-sided smile* . That is how I know it has Shiney Ahuja and that bangle female in it :D

>> Pyaar Karke (Pyaar Ke Side Effects) – I just liked the beginning. The song is pretty boring actually. So I don’t know why I listed it here. I think the list was too short. Only 4 songs. So I added a fifth :)

AND. I saw the Dhoom2 promos last night! Actually, it was on some news channel and mom was watching news and I was lurking over there doing practically nothing no I happened to see it! Well, I am not a big Abhishek Bachchan fan (he’s like a teddy bear!) so I didn’t get all that excited. The excitement was because I saw the promo of some to-be-hit-type movie at the same time as my friends and not 6 months after the movie has released. I haven’t yet seen Lage Raho. So you can imagine. I am dying to see it though!! Because I had loved MBBS and circuit and chirkut and all those taporis. I can’t wait before zee or sony or star or whatever airs it! For your information, I saw RDB on sony :)

I am quite positive that TC would be most pleased to hear that I am increasing my bolly music awareness exponentially. Plus, this happens to the month when I am listening to new music, new genres of music blah blah. And before I forget, I think I’ll just buy the damn Dark Side of the Moon (this reminds me of a little faux pas of mine. I had referred to this album as DSO the Mirror on Mac’s blog *blush* ) CD since I tried downloading it like FOUR times and EVERY SINGLE TIME, something went wrong with my net-connection and the download got aborted.

May my net be blessed!

Amen and Awomen! *sigh*


UPDATE: I have FINALLY downloaded DSOM succesfully! Now, I shall listen to it and strangle(virtually of course) Sun if I don't like it. Some trouble I've taken to download it. Whew!

daman said...

hey nice post about the new hindi songs but i prefer the older ones and i think "mitwa" from KANK IS GOOD quite a change from the predictable karan kohar film songs

Sneha said...

@aashun- well, that's the way it should be! :)

@z000nie- yea! the blue lenhga that kajol wears in the video is gooorrrgeouss! lucky woman.
my maid was pitiful of my ignorant state and brought a Lage Raho CD on rent but the 1st CD didn't play properly. so now gotta get the DVD from some where :(

@raghu- lol!! but songs sound quite dreadful when they're someone's hello tune :P erm.. iron maiden.. hee.. i SEE noise :P

@sun- 'nuveau rocker' am i??? rofl!! :D:D

@daman- hullo! yea, i agree. even i like a lot of old r.d. burman era old songs.. amongst present day composers, my favourite is a.r.rehman (naturally!!) with saathiya and dil se being my ALL TIME favs... i can never get bored of them :)

The New Age Superhero said...

umm.. yeah.. LP's not rock yaa.. nor POD.. sorry.. rate thm as wanna be rockers and am sure raghu will agree to me :P.. and iron maiden;s anythng but noise.. thy are way way softer than LP or POD.. their guitar pieces are fuckin gr8! dont EVER rate them as noise if u've never heard thm!

FH said...

Hi Sneha! Hope this comment will go through unlike my blog!
You live opppsite a Dhaba! Oh, how I envy you, but you have to listen to thier loud music.Bummer:(
I have B4U movies and music at home,don't get see new movies. Saw snippets of Dhoom 2 and liked how Ash looks, all brown( spray tanned!) and gorgeous.It's abt time Indians stop thinking "fair skin" is beautiful.
I live in a small US town,hardly any Indians , 1-2 Indian grocery stores miles away.B4U is only India I have right now:)) But not into hindi movies that much, so it's okay.
My kids are very amused when they see all the Dances,Hinglish etc:D They don't understand a word when DJs Salil and Ishita speaks! They say "what the...?!" :D it's so funny.I was raised in B'lore,so I do understand:))
Have a good weekend, enjoy ur music and ur world sweetie:)

The New Age Superhero said...

oye btw.. dont get pissed on my comment.. but yaar.. u kinda spoke against my God! yaar.. dukhta hai.. cmon yaa... noise! noise!! and u havent even heard thm! :S ... feel hota hai yaa!

lage raho is good but it lacks the original appeal (its a sequel after all).About the hindi songs -- amen to most of your choices and a gazzilion curses upon the net providers for obstructing you from reaching the dark side of the moon.

have a nice day

Sneha said...

@sun- wannabe rockers?? sheesh!! wat-ever. then maybe, i like wannabe rockers :D oh well, i said 'noise' because the 'iron' made me visualise all sorts of noisy instruments!! iron makes noise u know :P lol.. tu toh senti ho gaya!!

@foodie's hope- yep, ash has done a great job with her new look! AND, noe it's not only women who are the targets of 'fairness cream' ads but also men!! god! the ads are plain funny. ludicrous!
oh my US bred cousins have a nice time ridiculing hinglish whenever they come visiting :D last time around, they saw lagaan and couldn't figure a thing except for learning bits of cricket!

@bhargav- amen and AWOMEN!!! :D

Isha said...

Sriram said...

@rockers.. add me! But as BO(blogowner heheh) says, I too listen 2 old hindi stuff, but need to be in that mood.

And what net-connection so u hav? if u're stuck with dialup, trash it and take broadband.

Isha said...

Hi
I love the music from Fanna.But it wasa really boring movie.

Sneha said...

@sun- btw, what did that mean..
"he was into WESTLIFE when...."
what is WRONG with westlife? they're adorable! their music is adorable! marky is adorable!

@isha- *sob* i wish i could've shown my grandchildren the lovely barbies thier grandmom used to have! oh it's not the same buying them now :((
my sis and i would make movies with our barbies and each would rate the other's movies. we'd make them walk n talk and do EVERYTHING.. yea! lol... those were the days.. *sigh*

Sneha said...

@deepak- was it? oh well.. then good only.. i haven't seen it :)

Tejal said...

thank gawdddd u r startin to update ur knowlegde..i've gotten tired of speakin bout bollywood sonds n lukin at da blank expression u draw wen u hear me.. god bless me!!!!

BlueBuddha said...

Westlife is GAY..lol.. and the iron in iron maiden does not refer to the metal iron.. the 'iron maiden' is a medieval torture device.. hence the name.. maiden and floyd.. every rocker worships these names and even as much as hinting tht their music is noise is blasphemy!! the kind of high tht the maiden or floyd guitar pieces can give u.. no other brand of wanabe rockers like lp or pod or for tht matter any boy band like westlife can give u..
thts the respect maiden and floyd command and it Must be given..

{told ya.. i like preaching :D}

Sneha said...

@TC- :))

@sid- jeez. i eat my words!! happy? HAPPY?!
