Do you also listen to “Iktara” on your way home like me? On days when it's raining, softly, and all your dear heart desires nothing but a warm cup of tea. Dear, that fixes everything.

Sometimes, I think, maybe learning to make tea is the key to keeping two people in love, forever. But what do I know about love or tea for that matter? I only know that when someone makes an effort to make something for me, I have it regardless of the amount of sugar or salt. It’d be a sin to find any fault.

Iktara or ektara, the one-stringed musical instrument, carries one beat at a rhyme, one dream at a time. Like an ektara, I only have a few words to say. I’m afraid it’ll take me a lifetime for me to say them since I’m quite hesitant and shy. But if I make an effort to say them someday, will you listen to me without finding any fault? Just like I don’t mind the amount of sugar or salt.

I suddenly got a bollywood love songs brain rot, feel free to express your views

[pjo-tvs-version]

this is a question i like to ask to many people:

if a foreigner who has no relation to India at all came to you and asked for a song that was basically an introduction to Indian music, and you wanted to impress them into listening to more Indian music, what is the first song you would recommend to them, not based on what you like but what they would probably like as someone with no knowledge of Indian culture?

Oh this is such a good question! This is soo very difficult to decide because Indian music is soo very diverse and it has its set of eras. This was hard very hard but I narrowed it down to 'Ghoomar' from the movie 'Padmavat' sung by the magical Shreya Ghoshaln. You should see the music video too and the it is very very melodious. It's a classic which I feel almost everyone enjoys. I know you said only 1 song anon but I can't stop myself without mentioning a few others (forgive me)

Pappu can't dance(Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na)

Gallan Godiyan (Dil Dhadkne Do)

Tum hi Ho (Aashiqui 2)

Kun Faya Kun (Rockstar)

Lat Gayi (Race 2)

Iktara (Wake Up Sid)

I can go on but I have to stop myself here. You have no idea how much I loved answering this ask! Thank you so much for it and I hope that you enjoy these songs.
