I'm so smitten with this song. I can't stop listening to it. It has even surpassed my previous Lata favourite Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya.
A couple of days ago I played a half-hour set of my fave Bollywood music at my friend's birthday event. It was in a public bar and so it was the first time I've dj'd in public. The best word to describe this is much-abused but this time fitting: *empowering*. For years I've thought of how fun and interesting it would be to dj, but I've always thought it was somehow impossible, that one has to be a special sort of music person to do it, which I'm not. But then this opportunity arose, and I played music, and the equipment did not explode, and no-one flew in disgust, some heads were actually bobbing to rhythm. So, I'm perfectly capable of this, definitely not mysteriously unfit.
Hubby v. concerned that I'm flying head-first into another near-manic obsession – with good reason, I'm afraid. But at least even this first try earned me free fried noodles and a beer, so earning potential seems somewhat better than for example writing romantic sci-fi stories with bitter(sweet) endings.
