Desi Madness

It all started with Slumdog Millionaire. Then, I downloaded an MP3 file of Jai Ho (original Indian version).

I thought this Indian thing would actually end or at least subside. Just like the Twilight Fever I and my sisters experienced (we kept watching Twilight over and over again until they have come to hate it so much and I have started to totally adore Pattinson).

Unfortunately, it only got worst.

I was urged to buy another DVD tape (yeah so much for my financial complaints). One of them happened to be Dostana.

Dostana is an Indian term referring to friendship and what an odd friendship it was. A friendship which was founded on deception but was true until the end.

It was a lovely film with beautiful musical numbers which drove all my siblings nuts. I adored the choreo of the musicals and I loved the cinematography. Even my brother was impressed, the techno nut who scoffed over War of Worlds and Jumanji and was a bit unimpressed with Jurassic Park.

Anyway, since they loved it, I decided to download the songs from Funatoz.com. I had a copy of Desi Girl, Shut Up and Bounce by Shilpa Shetty (lovely), Jaane Kyun and Kuch Kum (which was not really fun).

Now, the USB thing I have at home contains 3 40 plus songs. We used to play Demi Lovato and Jonas brothers along with my sisters Fall Out Boys favorite Thanks for the Memories.

Now, only three songs keeps blaring on the speaker everyday. All those Indian songs. My God, my music mad siblings are totally into Indian music.

I loved it. I love listening to Jaane Kyun and Desi Gilr myself. I guess the sing feels happy and bouncy and just lovely.

It brings to mind really beautiful things. Its actually playing right now. Very loudly. I hope our distant neighbors don’t mind listening to them every day, at 9 am and at 4 pm.
