I guess any of the sensory stimuli can trigger memories. well first let me convince the folks here about evolution and then we can go to music having evolutionary roots. It brings back good as well as the bad memories. 2:11 PM M (tread softly upon) adopted bong wouldn't it be wonderful if one could rewind life and go back on mistakes, re-do things? But thanks! grafxgurl that's the thing about association. This comment has been removed by the author. The situation in my house was exactly like grafx's as in Chitrahaar was used as a tool by my mum to coerce me into doing what she wanted me to do. dagor dagor chokkhe was one of my favs as well :) 5:27 AM twip said. Should I consider myself lucky then? Daroon posts, btw. btw, i think u probably deleted my comment on ur last post.If I mistakenly said something I shouldn't have, I apologise. Ya, I agree.some of my special memories are indeed associated with songs. I have a zillion - some good, some not so good, and some outright terrible! :) Great post! 10:23 AM Little Miss Muffet said. Totally agree - songs invariably have memories. Hey M, soo agree with u.somehow songs have this knack of being associated with people or things!.I still remember some songs which I happened to hear as a kid and still associate them with my childhood! Btw hope all the bad times pass thru for u too.all the best dear 3:27 AM qsg said. Doesn't smell do the same? 1:59 AM Ekta said. Sometimes, however, you wish it wouldn't :-) Because, sometimes, you don't want to be reminded. You think our affinity for music has an evolutionary explanation? 12:10 AM GhostOfTomJoad said.įunny, I just did a post about music.and what it means in a film I saw recently :-) Yeah, absolutely.music does trigger things off by association. The title is awesomest! 7:39 PM Tabula Rasa said. just because they bring back all the crappy times that i remember.ex's.bad times in school.stupid s not that they hurt to listen to.its just that the memory irritates or really turns me off now. it was the one thing that got my mom to get me to do what she wanted."or else no chitrahaar tonight" or it was " change the channel, chitrahaar is on now!" there are some songs. ab 5:00 PM That Girl said.Ĭhitrahaar ws such a favourite. obviously something is up - hope whatever is resolved soon and your smile lights us up again. Khuki, i get this sense of pathos, this urge to rewind life a little, nostalgia, but deeper from your last few posts. And then the more recent one that talks about the same music associated nostalgia.Īnd if you are looking for a scientific explanation you should read this. The first one was this post which I totally loved. And above all, of days gone by.Īnd talking about song related nostalgia, I'd like to direct you to two posts that echo similar sentiments.

Prem (love), biroho (separation) and the whole nine yards. Rain drenched evenings and the heady smell of jasmine.
YAADEIN BY ALI HAIDER TV
Of the whole family gathering around the TV to watch Chitrahaar. Of days spent playing in the afternoon sun while the radio played on somewhere in the background. And how we always remember that person, the place, the moment, each time we hear the song. Certain places, special people, a specific moment in time.all tied down to a particular melody, a tune, or a song. It is strange how we associate songs with specific memories. She drops by her friend's house and meets a bunch of guitar-strumming, convention-defying, jhola-carrying young guys who write their own songs, compose their own music and redefine the word 'style'.Ĭhura liya hain tumne jo dil ko.

She thinks Bangla Adhunik is nyaka (pretentious) and Rabindrasangeet is ek gheye (boring). Her friend leans over and whispers, "Don't you think Diwana hua badal is the most romantic song ever?" She starts humming the song and agrees.

She has disliked every song sung by Kishore ever since. He sings Hume tumse pyar kitna at a college fest. Second, that he is the next Kishore Kumar. She meets a guy with two major misconceptions. Kuchh chhoti, chhoti, baatein reh jaati hain She holds hands with her best friend as they listen to Ali Haider's Purani jeans aur guitar for the first time.Īnd she still misses her friend when she hears the song.īas yaadein, yaadein, yaadein reh jaati hain She asks him, "Daddy do I have dagor dagor chokh?" He says yes. Sitting on her Daddy's knee while he sings to her one of her favorite songs.
