is mod se jaate hai kuch sust kadam raste....

I entered my supposedly-happening gym in Koramangala(Bangalore) the other evening trying my best to evacuate all worldly thoughts outta my mind. It's that innocent and lovely smile I can't miss of that receptionist every day.

I offered a wide-desi smile in return to an attitudinal grin of the coach who doesn't like me for not asking his guidance in anything. May be he sensed my observation of his shapeless "physique" in my eyes. Whatever, those days are over when I wondered about the people, the society, structure, fake personalities, countries blah blah blah. But what pissed(s) me off is that ultra stupid...utterly boooring "tujhe mirchi lagi to main kya karu" type songs. Then I run around talking to every bloody manager to get some energy music playing.

No matter how much I try to fit in this new age bull crap music... I just fail to digest it. I wonder what goes on in their mind for such music to compliment their thoughts and their tastes. Worse is these sensual(?) sophisticated-looking dames who sing along. Hello, is that the art of deceiving baby? isn't that attitude that you wearing... and isn't that your mind at work, does your heart say something or you bluntly go with someone else's choice???

Where is that sweetness we heard in a song like 'rimjhim gire saawan'?
Where's that soul stirring feeling as she sings 'mera kuch saaman'... 'yara seeli seeli' 'lo aagayi unki yaad, woh nahi aaye'
Where...exactly where are such people with taste, with passion, with that innocence and playfulness who sang adorable yet naghuty songs like 'accha to hum chal tel hai'?

I wonder where this new gen music is heading... if there are people who crave for a meaningful life when I hear songs like 'jhalak dikhlaja' !

Not that I'm an old fashioned fella who can't appreciate new songs... I fell in love with some songs like 'baras ja ay badal barasja' or 'agar tum mil jao' or 'aditi', 'mere haath mein'... etc. Certainly, taste differs from person to person but don't their hearts crave for a little melody, a little meaning and true expression!!!
