  • I will be there for you…

    Listen to this.

    This is all TK said before he made me listen to “Tere Bin Nai Lagda Dil Mera Dholna” (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan). And, almost immediately, my mind was transported back in time.

    It was Oasis of 2004 and Euphoria was playing during Prof show. Those were very sentimental times. Your last sem on campus, close to people you love. We (Bansal and I) had requested for them to play “Ab Na Jaa” which used to be our favourite since Misra’s psenti sem. And when he did, I remember calling Misra and others and making them listen to it on my cellphone, as me, my wingies, and some other friends got super emotional.

    I don’t know which show TK was at today, but boy it felt awesome! He knew I love the song from the East India Company show we attended in CP a long time back.

    Thanks man!! <hugs>

  • Song of the day

    Tere Bin Nai Lagda Dil Mera Dholna – by that great Sufi master, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Another song by him that I like a lot is Yeh joh halka halka suroor hai. More of his collections here.

    This reminds me that the East India Company band played a fantastic version of this song in their CP gig. They don’t have it on their website. Such a shame.
