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.

faith hill? THE Faith Hill?!
ahhahaha, you more country than me, and i am a texan!

Jaan, I am not proud about it. But I am man enough to admit it. Some women affect me more than others. And it does not always have something to do with their singing talent.
30 Nov 2005, 7:29am

NOT!
hahaha, its still funny!
30 Nov 2005, 11:10am

Thank you, June. I do have a question, though. When have you said 'that' before? And if you did, where did you say it? It surely was not said in this space.
3 Dec 2005, 10:38pm

4 Dec 2005, 12:05am
Would you be so kind as to let me know who I know you to be?
4 Dec 2005, 9:18pm

Hey Aran! just took down my bolg, didn't mean to be mean...so replying to you over here. :)Hello!
16 Dec 2005, 1:29am
Oh my God! Is there no end to the sadness today? First Poonam Manish, and now you. So much disappointment twigrl. How will I live? Sigh. I'll grit my teeth and go on somehow... but, I'm wounded. :(
16 Dec 2005, 1:42am
This would probably be the only blog in the world where no one cares about the blogger, as Aran so succinctly pointed out to me. It has become a forum for Aran and Twigrl to communicate.
But I am actually fine with that. Weird me. Have always enjoyed the comments more than the post. Go ladies go!
16 Dec 2005, 1:47am
aawww! its Ok!...my blog was more of a resoponse to dealing with stress...seriously, i don't know what the hell i was blabing..so, ...we can alway chill on Mr wirter blog..:)
16 Dec 2005, 1:56am
Twigrl, your air of mystery is too much for me to take. Please, because I'm so shattered by the abrupt deletion of your blog, I want you to satisfy my curiosity about you at least. Please, just let me know -
1. Your age.
2. Where do you live? The country will do.
3. Are you Indian?
I've never been so curious about a commenter before...
16 Dec 2005, 2:00am
ehhehhehehehe.....
alright....i am undergrad, that should help you in guessing my age, I am Indian by orgin by ctzn North American continent
16 Dec 2005, 2:07am
Thank you. That will help us muchly. Scripto and I have almost neverending conversations about you. We were almost to the point where we talked exclusively about you. Now we might even talk about other things. :D
16 Dec 2005, 2:08am

16 Dec 2005, 2:14am

16 Dec 2005, 2:14am
Aran! me waitng here..helloo
16 Dec 2005, 2:18am
Yes twigrl, what you've asked me requires serious thought. It is a profound question. Who am I??! People have not been to answer that satisfactorily in all their lives. I might take a few minutes.
16 Dec 2005, 2:21am
alright then...thought u diched me for a sec
16 Dec 2005, 2:38am
Oh no Twigrl, how can I ever do that?! I've finished my Masters program and live in Hyderabad. I'm not sure what I am professionally. Nothing yet I suppose. Sigh. About what I do, nowadays, write a lot. That's about the only worthwhile thing I do these days.
16 Dec 2005, 2:52am
Write! ha good for you....that i thing i know i can't..great!
16 Dec 2005, 2:55am

4 Jan 2006, 9:39pm

5 Jan 2006, 12:44am
