Memories Loaded - Part 2

Continuing from where I left..!!

Memories memories memories ... probably we human beings are blessed by god for having awesome memories.

It always fascinates me how the social networking makes so much fun of a GUY's memory e.g. a husband forgets his wife's birthday etc.. etc.. Hmmm I don't know is it a guy's fate or he really forgets.

I have tried to remember most of my friend's and cousin's birthday but the only difference is we don't wish them probably because of the ego factor that they dint wish us on our birthday. The logic may be right or wrong but our mind is well trained to find out these lags! Knowingly or unknowingly our mind is calculating last year this person had called this year he/she has just texted and prejudicially we expect that probably this person may not wish us on our next birthday.

I know the above scenario is not applicable for very close group (family/ first circle of close friends) but for the seconds and thirds..

They say when you are happy you love the music and when you are sad you understand the lyrics of the song! I dont know about the first part but it is true about second.

What to do? all our memories of being at a place or missing a person's intensity doubles or triples especially when you have had very good memories along with a person (friend/girl friend / spouse) at a particular place (theatre / adda / hang out place) listening to the song just not the song (PARTICULARLY there will be an aura behind a PARTICULAR song  with that person).

Trust me this happens.. may be we are ignorant in our busy life to notice it. Just come out of your mechanical so called WELL PAID (well slaved) life and see. Its so damn true that one has to invest a lot of time in observing the environment..  somebody in your office may have a ringtone (pretty old one - any language for the instance) when you hear those small bit of music it will take you ages back.

I am sure each one of us have our own favorite hero/heroine/composer/singer/performer etc. but music and its memories have no boundaries.

I dont know how many of you listen to FM.. there was a show in Fever 104 called as "Picture Pandey" by Anurag Pandey (RJ) he used to tell why songs connects us it is because even a Flop film may have good songs. So many songs of flop movies are hit and it remains.

I remember FM radio era the initial days when Sumanth (my cousin) who first introduced me to FM Radio used to have a walkman like radio I remember the RJs - Vasanthi Hariprakash, Suresh Venkat, Kiran.. etc.. it was a revolution because until FM came we used to buy cassete and most of us have/had tape recorders at home and those who could afford had CD/DVD players but what FM radio did was that you could listen to the latest songs without paying a penny. That's how it is built and running successfully probably accross the country and world

Memories with radio continue as we used to carry pocket sized radio to BHSS to listen to score updates.. then came FM radio machine where we had to fine tune the particular frequency to listen to particular station. I have a radio at home battery operated one Elephant's shape.. I loved it and bought in City market probably for 200 rs 8-10 years ago.. I love it because it was a master piece it used to be a toy for the kids  who used to visit my home as the trunk of the elephant used to move along with the light in the eye and play songs non-stop. I had purchased rechargable cells so that it ran continuosly.

With nokia phones launching phones FM radio phones it became all students/ working professionals travel time partner within Bengaluru
