Day 14 of #musicalmarch🎵.

Today I am posting a song that just fills me with joy every time I hear it. I have to clap along to it and sing out loud! I defy anyone to not smile at least when they hear it!

Happy by Pharrell Williams.

And for my Eastern entry, it is a song from the film Yaadon Ki Barat, about love… again, but I just love this song! Chura Liya. It was rereleased in the 90’s by DJ Bally Sagoo and was made accessible to many new listeners from the western side at that time. I remember English friends singing along to it!

Twist & Shout

The first thing that came to mind was my whiplash after the recent accident!

A bittersweet pain
When I twist myself around
I can’t help but shout

Day 13 of #musicalmarch🎵!

Thought I’d channel a little love again!

A Brummie band that I love! UB40. I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You.

And a classic Bollywood love song to complement it, Kabhi Kabhi from the film of the same name.

Linda’s SoCS prompt this week:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “short.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

My fuse was way too short yesterday.

Considering I have been at home for 2 weeks, I should be pretty relaxed, shouldn’t I?

And given the fact that my Hubby Dearest was picking up my new car too, that should have injected an airy and light bounce in my step, shouldn’t it?

But no, I ended up with a headache that threatened me from 3 pm, and it just grew and grew. I tried to fight it, but it was beating me, And it meant that I was in no frame of mind to deal with kids and their moodiness.

Everything Lil Man did was designed to frustrate, and usually, I can deal with it, but today, I just found myself taking the bait, and getting angry.

Hubby arrived with the car and we went for a spin, which was great, but Lil Man was just doing silly things, winding his sister up and all sorts, which got me even more agitated!

Still, no matter about my short fuse, lit by a short guy. My anger only lasts a short while!

I got a new car, yay!!!!!

Day 11 of #musicalmarch🎵

Throwback to the 90’s and my university years. I loved this tune by Aaliyah (RIP) and even went through the whole bandana phase… ! Back and Forth.

Yes, I’m afraid that was me!

And there was a beautiful Bollywood film called Bombay released around this time, which had haunting music by AR Rehman. My best friend and I used to sit and sing this song lots together! Kehna Hi Kya.
