Hypothetically, If I were to die tomorrow, I would want these 5 songs played in no random order. Songs that have been part of some of the most intimate, entertaining, emphatic, introspective and craziest moments of my life, thoughts and routine.
1) Musafir hoon yaaron from Parichay
Manali, M, cutting chai, campfires, weaved toucans.
2) தேனே தென் பாண்டி மீனே from Udaya Geetham
The very first song I actually tried to sing. As a baby, I used to be enraptured by this song and ensured in my own way that it was played on repeat mode.
3) Take It Easy by the Eagles
One word-Manipal. Late night bike rides to Kapu. Jamming with Roshan and his guitar at the Bhatta's adda. Stag dancing at the Sphinx. Late nights at Kamath Circle. Library nights. End Point.
4) Jhumma Chumma from HUM
I had always been a big AB fan, probably one of the very few people to buy his album Aby Baby (along with Bally Sagoo), choosing to watch Bade Miyaan Chote Miyaan instead of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (which was one of the best decisions made, IMHO) and grooving to this song. I absolutely loved the energy and the beer mugs in this number. Bonus points to someone who can repeat the coin dance that is featured.
5) Walk of Life by Dire Straits
Dire Straits and RP go hand in hand.
My brother, the one who did not care if the world was laughing at him or scorning him. The one who I looked up to and the one who looked out for me.
A little extra if there is time.
There is always some time for the superstar.
You and Me
I walk into the house. You are still asleep.
I tread cautiously. You murmur.
I dim the light. You are undisturbed.
I eat some food. You open your eyes.
I look at you. You seem lost.
I walk towards you. You are unaware.
I reach out to you. You flinch.
I hesitate. You turn away.
I try small talk. You are preoccupied.
I hold your hand. You pull away.
I retreat. You do not care.
I am lost in my thoughts. You eat.
I try a conversation. You make no sense.
I get up to leave. You tug my sleeve.
I look at you. You reach out to me.
I take you in my arms. You widen your eyes.
I pull you close. You coo.
I hold tight. You rest your head on my shoulders.
I pat your back. You dribble on my shirt.
I am powerless. You conquer me.
I have to go. You are stopping me.
I do not have a choice. You do not seem to mind.
I will be back. You need to be here.
I tread cautiously. You murmur.
I dim the light. You are undisturbed.
I eat some food. You open your eyes.
I look at you. You seem lost.
I walk towards you. You are unaware.
I reach out to you. You flinch.
I hesitate. You turn away.
I try small talk. You are preoccupied.
I hold your hand. You pull away.
I retreat. You do not care.
I am lost in my thoughts. You eat.

I get up to leave. You tug my sleeve.
I look at you. You reach out to me.
I take you in my arms. You widen your eyes.

I am powerless. You conquer me.
I have to go. You are stopping me.
I do not have a choice. You do not seem to mind.
I will be back. You need to be here.
