Music albums - where are they now?

It’s been a long time since I have come across the music videos like the old days of early 2000’s. Most of the songs were crap, but there were few lovely numbers from Falguni Pathak, Silk route, and Euphoria. The gems like Bally Sagoo, Biddu, Anaida, etc. seem to have been lost in time.

Yes, times change and so do we. But songs are songs, and we can listen to good songs be it in movies or albums – so why the silent death for the albums? I was trying to contemplate the reasons of their decline!

Too many movies – too many songs – who wants to listen to the music albums?
The company making these videos making losses – Overall music videos making losses. Who buys music now a days? Piracy rules!

Eventually all boils down to the economics and people making money from the venture. If demand outstrips supply, the album makers will make money and vice versa. Though that is the case I long for Yesterday Once More!

Solitude

On the cold chilly day
Walking with her in the meadows
Without any talk between us,
She seems to guess what I mean
Just her eyes says it all
No need of any speech…no need of any cliché’
Just I and her walking in solitude
Understanding each other
A Blink and a tear says it all!

"The best conversations happen when she listens to what you are not saying"

Ode to MBA

Sitting in the class of MBA
Is as weary as studying for CA
With mind roaming from Paris and Rome
To ours very own Taj’s dome

From Financial management; Khan and Jain
To marketing management; Kotler and Tain

Having some foolish seminars
And listen to stupid profs for hours

Coming back from reverie…
I still have to prepare the thesis!
