...Mujik

Wake Up Sid, for reasons of its own, has been a favorite movie of mine.. I liked its songs especially. All the songs evoked different feelings within me... Its got light, peppy and soothing numbers..

Life's Crazy
In this song, Konkana Sen converts a sad place into a cosy nest with the help of Ranbir (whistle for this young charmer) and his friends..This song is associated with moving into a new place and how the home is a symbolism of your individualism as one fills it with what they like.. I love the feeling of contentment which Konkana feels at the end, lying on her bed on the floor.

Vel Malang
This song has the soothing rustic voice of Tochi Raina. Its a sad song wherein the couple separate because of mis-communication (the commonest of reasons).
There is also a particular scene in this song which is, in a way, sensual for me. Ranbir leaves Konkana and comes back home. As he empties his bag, he finds Konkana's favourite white (night) kurta. He looks at it fondly, removes his grey T-shirt, puts on her Kurta, gets up to look in the mirror and (metaphorically) enjoys and stays with the feeling of her on him..

Kya Karoon
And then this song... I'd like to call this song Lazy Lamhe song...
The slow beat.. Humming "tu ru tu tu ru..." Chilling out with friends, eating shopping, partying, late night drive... all this has a secure and comforting feeling.. This song reminds me that there are a few friends with whom its never ever "enough".. I also love the way Ranbir dances at the party is captured in slow motion.. being in the moment, without inhibitions.. something i have always wanted to do... and this song has been my Hello Tune for the last eight months.. so that's that..

Wake Up Sid
This song is "Carpe Diem" epitomized... It encourages one to be in the moment and do what YOU think is right... You decide what you want to do, since you are the traveller as well as you are the medium of travel (philosophically).. Dont let today also be like yesterday, why are you so lazy, do something, cry or laugh, but do fill your life some colour...
This song helped me quit doing what i didnt wanna do... ;)

Aaj Kal
In this song Ranbir starts working on photography which was his passion. He is also leaves his home, his comfort zone to work harder. The song goes something like,
"Nowadays life is telling me, listen to it and go on the path of your dreams, embrace all the fragrances and the light in your arms,
And the day and night is new, desires are youthful and the feelings are new
so many moments have surprised me, so many words have touched me"
I am in a similar phase of my life, where everything is new, fresh, out of all comfort zones and energizing .. This song how i'm feeling about the Spl Ed course at VS.

Everyone has such song lists for different emotions and phases of their lives.. So here's cheers for everyone's special sound of..
