I sometime wonder if there is any person who does not like music, of course everyone's music taste is not equal. During my graduation I did some course on cognition and human memory. Today I was listening to some old music and was thinking about those days in college. We did several projects about how memory works and how it is related to visual cues etc. Recently I realized how music can be related to our memories and can act as a strong queue to make them alive again.
Whenever I listen to Kambakth Ishq from pyar tune kya kiya ..it reminds me of those good old first 15 days of first year. I don't know.. it just creates the same feeling we used to have when we went to auditorium to watch movies, always alert about seniors ..if by any chance any new senior get hold of us he would start embarrassing us..asking us to sing ( I got spared most of the time ..as it was always hard for the seniors to tolerate more than one minute demonstration of my singing talent) or dance in front of everyone or shout some slangs standing on your seat or sometimes on the podium.
there are other instances ..like the moment I listen to Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein..it reminds me of my internship days ..sleeping at the beach till 2 or 3 am ..boozing ..or peeing on the ocean ( Varun and me will never forget this)..or those long calls on phone .. and somehow it takes me to those moments and make me smile ..
Funny part is songs not only get associated with few nice memories but also some not so nice ones.. like the song bheegi bheegi si hai raaten bheegi bheegi...no matter how many time I listen it takes me to the same day ..
