My knowledge in music is kind of ancient, prehistoric.Definitely somewhere around the “Jurassic Park” time. And I’m not ashamed or embarrassed of it.It’s just what I like. No, doesn’t mean I don’t listen to today’s-cuss words, no melody, just noise so called music. I do. I have no option.My kids are avid music lovers and they listen to all kinds of music. (Not hindi.) I can’t take away from the fact that a lot of the English music I like has come from them. But not all. Just because I love them doesn’t mean I have to love what they love and vice versa.I love hindi music. I love instrumental, and I love songs which apeal to me and my sensibilities. And I am unapologetic about it.

Certain songs just ring true. I identify with. Which seem relatable to people, relationships and situations in my life. Guess that’s why they stick forever.

These are some of the songs from my play list,and what they mean to me.

1. I’m lying alone wit my head on the phone-(Air supply)

The memory of my first love and heart break. Still applicable when my kids don’t call.And it’s also why my neck hurts.

2. “BeAt it”-(Michael Jackson)For the blues.

4.”What makes u beautiful.”-(Bruno Mars)

In hope that someone someday will sing this to me Not just my girl gang who loooouuuuvvveeesss me for what I am.

5.”Waving flag”-(K’naan)When one day when I finally grow up.

6.”I’m every woman”-(Whitney Huston)

Confidence and Ofcourse realisation that Yes I am. I am a maid, house keeper, care taker, doctor, nurse, nanny and overweight.

7.”Whip it”/(Devo)

What my gym trainer says to me.

8.”Hips don’t lie.”-(Shakira)

Is what I say to my trainer.

9.“We are the world”-(Michael Jackson)

My kids. Ofcourse they are and will be forever. Even when they turn to 10.”Demons”-(Imagine Dragons)from time to time.

11.”Shes like the wind” -(Dirty Dancing)

To put it politely. When I have indigestion.

12.”Cheerleader”-(Omi)Obviously Ron.

13.”It’s been a long day without you my friend” -(Fast and the Furious)

When my staff has a Sunday off and I see them on Monday.

14.”You can count on me”-(Bruno Mars)

My anthem.

15.”Despacito”-(Justin Bieber)

When i have just woken up and the world is too loud for me.

16.”Say something I’m giving up on you”-(Christina Aguilera)

This is specially dedicated to the failing network in my house.

17.”I’m not an actor I’m not a star.”-(Michael learns to rock)

Still a reminder when I’m not working for months.

And

18.”Killing me softly with his song”-( Fugees)When I am on a long drive stuck in car with my kids. Enhancing my patience and my knowledge of music.
