When there is a song...

Mera chain wain sab ujda, zaalim nazar hata le. Barbaad ho gaye hain ji tere apne sheher waale. Oh meri angadaayi na toote tu aaja. Kajara re Kajara re...
So goes the song. That it goes this way is not something I hold against it. But that it should go this way the whole day in my head is not something I take very kindly to. And why? Just because I happen to come across it first thing in the morning while surfing channels? Was that this big an indiscretion?
It is not only this song. There have been many before it, and there will be many to follow I am certain, that have had this effect on me. I think I have what can be medically termed Obsessive Song Listening Disorder. It creeps in very innocuously at an impressionable age. I was 19, I think, when it first happened - all innocent and ignorant of the ways of this world when it came to songs taking their hold on people.
It was a seemingly harmless song called 'This Kiss' by Faith Hill. I was not even a fourteen year old girl at that point of time in my life. Hell, I have never been a fourteen year old girl at any point of time in my life. But this song! Like tits and ass make the world go round (as Harold Robbins had once written in one of his books), this song just kept making my head spin. I could not listen to it, and I could not not listen to it. There was a stage when I listened to it over and over again for up to two hours - basically till the other inhabitants of my house thumped me on my head.
I got over it. At least I thought I did. Until a few weeks ago when it came back. And this time it was worse because I did not have the song with me anymore. And I had to listen to it on launchcast that does not have a repeat feature. This basically meant I had to manually restart the song each time! It was as bad as watching television without the remote control. May be worse, if anything can be worse than that.
I have never been the same man ever since. And I am not sure if it was the song or Faith Hill. But something has held its sway. I started off bitching about kajara re and I ended up totally smitted with Faith Hill. Perhaps an International alert should be sounded. This disorder is deadly.

Happy New Year to all three of you!
Twigrl, I know there's nothing wrong in communicating through a blog. But, I somehow found it pretty funny that you should post a message in this space and wait for an immediate response! I am probably a weird guy... And since when have you been mindful of your mistakes? @ YOU b/w to and guys :|
5 Jan 2006, 11:38am
Ok... I get it! I am at it too @ communicating through a blog... but, as I said, I am probably a weird guy.

Toeplitz, well well well! looks like you kinda know me....ok Aran was online at that time tooo...sooo...and the mistake thing i don't know,i guess i should be a lil careful...

Mr.Writer what in the world Kajara mean and also karay? since, you have the song on the blog i guess its ok to ask you ...well i heard that song the other day...its not that bad..actually its good. what do you not like about it...ha
11 Jan 2006, 9:51am
Twigrl, kajara means kajal or soorma. It is that dark thing made of soot that Indian women have been applying in their eyes for centuries. I have no idea what karay means or even if that is a word.
Nothing wrong with the song. Did I ever say there was? In fact, I have stated my position quite clearly in my second paragraph.

awww!...well here is something for you, I read this story last night,
"Bartleby the scrivener" the authors writing style is similar to yours..thought you might be interested in reading this and just wondering what will be your analysis of this story or as a matter of fact anybody who read this story.....read it if you have time and write something about it...would love to see something new on this blog!

Just when I thought I had seen it all, I am proved wrong! This comments section is going to be a book-review column now? :)) :))
Script Writer, you can say that again @ "It happens only on this blog!"

Toeplitz, who are you? Do you have a bolg that validates your existence on Mr. Writers blog.
