Life on Cruise Mode

Life was on a cruise mode yesterday night! Coming back from my uncle's place in Maryland, I had the highway for myself (surprisingly no traffic on the last day of a long weekend - courtesy: higher gas prices and slow economy). I set my speed to 65 mph, inserted Amruthavarshini CD into the player and it felt like heaven! I usually take the route 1 (parallel to Interstate 95) which is much quieter plus I avoid all the toll. Sang along with S.P.B. all along the way.. was even able to pay attention to the lyrics more than before since it was so quiet. My Acura TSX felt more like a plane than a car. The 8-speaker surround sound made it even better! Stopped on the way to get the cheapest price per gallon of gasoline between MD and PA, got a coke for myself to calm my stomach down after eating as if competing with Lord Ganesha over the past two days! The drive felt way much shorter than it usually is... I realized I need some time off like this every now and then. No one to critize my thoughts, actions, words and even my singing ;-)... The movie is from my list of favorites and so are the actor/actress. The song "Bhale Bhale Chandada .... " reminded me of my Eng. Days! Singing was one of our favorite lunchtime things to do.. After this CD, I plugged in another one - this time it was an assorted Hindi cd. It feels so nice when you accidentally find out something you have that you cherish a lot and had forgotten for sometime.. This CD was one such thing! The songs that were on this one were: Maine Dil Se Kaha from Rog, Khoobsurat wo itna from the same movie, Fana title song, Bin tere sanam (remixed version), Jal Jal ke dhua .. (forgot the movie name), Tanhai mein basi hai zindagi - Another great one from lucky ali - not sure if it is an album, Aadat from Zeher movie I guess and a few others..

Music can definitely change a person's mood in minutes if the person is into music. No matter what, just humming the tune of a song you like makes you either happy or sad! I was all along a happy kid singing on top of my voice on board my Acura TSX!
