Melodious Night…

The last night we spent in Wayanad was already looking perfect… The last three days had gone like a snap and we were all in ways gearing up for our return trip the next day… We had bunched up in a room(all 15 of us) and were chatting into the night, at around midnight it started, I hardly remember what started it but the best comparison I can find is the Mexican wave in a stadium… You have no idea who and where it started but feel so much a part of it :P

We had all begun to sing… We started with classic Kishore Kumar numbers switched slowly to generic classic and after about 2-3 hours it did not matter which era the song was from. When we stopped singing it was 4 am! What was incredible was that in those 4 hours we repeated only 2 songs! We had sung in Hindi, Tamil and Kannada(hardly 10 songs of the latter two but atleast that much)

My moment was possibly when I sang “Kahike Paan Banaras Wala” from the new Don, man was I in a trance… I think I danced a little too :P

According to calculations we sang around 150 unique songs that night(even the most generous of assumptions is over 100) Frankly we were not that bad wrt lyrics getting atleast 75% of most songs perfectly! People kept saying we should hv noted the songs we sang coz THAT was a collection :D

When we went to bed that night(or should I say morning) I knew each one of us felt that “Summer of 69” like moment… Damn it felt great.
