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.
