Day 8 of #musicalmarch🎵!
Going back to my youth!
Had to pay a visit to New Kids on the Block!
Step By Step!
And another classic bhangra tune from my childhood days! A group from Birmingham who tore up the dancefloors with their songs at all the functions! Soho Road by Apna Sangeet!
Claim to fame – My Pops was the dentist for one of the singers!

Day 7 of #musicalmarch🎵!
A little bit of Butt Shaking today!
I always liked the mild Hip Hop, and ragga music. Did quite a mean Butterfly iin my day! Today Sir Mixalot features with Baby Got Back! Can I just mention that my kids think this is such a funny song… but they don’t understand the, ahem, finer lyrics!
And a little Hip Shaker from my Bhangra background! Lakh 28 Kudi Da by Diljit Dosanjh and Yo Yo Honey Singh!

Oh those days of old
When kings ruled with iron fists
How those times have changed
Now Presidents and PMs
Lead the way and rule or livesRitu 2017

Day 6 of #musicalmarch🎵
Rain. This is what features today in both songs!
The first was one that I remember singing at school in music lessons! Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by B J Thomas.
Anyone who knows Bollywood, knows that rain features heavily in some of the more seductive songs. Rain and wet sarees… Yes, I know! Tip Tip Barsa Paani from Mohra. (The pair from this film actually got married too, in real life!)

With the spirit of #musicalmarch, we thought we’d go a bit Dharmic today, a bit spiritual.
“You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy. Then you should sit for an hour.” Old Zen Saying
In my Sikh religion, Simran, or meditation, and singing of the Lord’s name is important. There are so many ways to do Simran, but one person who I really admire, is Veer Manpreet Singh. He travels the country and world to sing his version of a Simran, Tuhi Tuhi, and it is so relaxing. I have his app on my phone so I can listen to it and sing along whenever I want that peace.
Please, enjoy.
