Midnight Wonders

So a friends tweet got me thinking about my favorite tracks that I like to listen to long past midnight. 

While there are several that just one thinking and pondering and philosophical, I can help to list down these as some that easily make the cut. Also adding to their effect is cricket drunk night duty stress.

Tango with Lions - In a Bar



Daughter - Candles


Pankhon Ko - Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year



Phir Le Aaya Dil - Barfi

Aahista from Swades and Dil Gira Dafatan from Dehi 6 are always at the top of my 'Most listened to' on the iPod, as well :)

Patriotism for me was best depicted when SRK (in Swades) looks out of his window seconds before he is to set foot in India. Nothing describes detachment better than the wheels of a plane seconds after take off. This was exactly the opposite - done brilliantly. Meanwhile, AR Rahman used only 5 notes of the shehnai for SRK & the audiences to feel homesick repeatedly in the film. Even those who were in India felt homesick/guilty. The first film in a long time that did not show patriotism in the light  of violence, hatred and turbulent times and still struck a chord with the audiences. Wonder where the wiser filmmakers are hiding now or are the scripts. PS: This was also a rare time when an SRK films made sense to me. (I know this comment will draw flack for me)

The Taxi

Dark night, Yellow streaks, Dingy lights, Empty streets, Tricky ride, Wheels that squealed, Cold hands, Shivering feet, A long drive & a small seat. A conversation for company, A smile to convey.
