Ek Raasta Hai Zindagi [1979]


"Pain is My Destiny and I Cannot Avoid It"

Fantastic track from the Amitabh Bachchan heydays. This brilliant Kishore Kumar number with great background music, earned him an award for the soundtrack for the film Kaala Patthar.

Definitely, a song to sing with a group of friends when travelling, karaeoke, or even just enjoying the drive through the unchartered roads of the beautiful countryside.

This song takes me back to my youth, the happiness of the good old days, just before the worries of life embarked upon the course of one's part of growing up in life, and realising that there are good and bad days, and one needs to reflect and cherish on the good and learn from the bad.

This Used To Be My Playground [1992]



Awesome lyrics with deep, subtle meanings of relections of life's years gone by.

Great slow paced track, best listened to in an end of a day mood. Certainly not one to wake up to, that would be depressing!

For me its when I revisit places and remember people, friends and loved ones of yesteryear, and imagine how they all have their own lives and responsibilities since then, and how times have changed.

But those, daft, silly, happy times remain stuck in your mind and memories forever.
