MUSIC

This May's edition of Reader's Digest contains a nice article of how a doctor in New York uses his i-pod. As an alarm clock, for patient information, some audios related to heart sounds and yes for mp3 files. It's a good read. But as you read it you need to remember that the reason one has all these benefits is that some music lover racked his brains hard and brought this device out(I am not sure though!).
Lately I have been listening to many songs, and I have found that I can spend hours together. Its a kind of pain reliever, makes me forget everything. The pace of the music I like to hear depends on my state of mind. If I am sleepy, I dive in mellow songs, sweet voice. Alka Yagnik and Shreya Ghoshal have bewitching voices. And it works both ways. If I listen I feel kinda sleepy. When I want to be charged up I hear a racy track, rock. Linkin Park. Oldies like Rafi and Co., remind me of my own past, the saturday night movies. For ghazals, I have not found anyone better than Jagjit Singh. On the most debated remix songs, well as long as the song turns out good I have no problems. Also the Indian community abroad has done a great job. Rap, R&B, bhangra. Rishi Rich with Jay Sean delivers the goods. Movie songs are good too. AR Rahman is the ultimate composer. Listening to all this I find no time to write.
