Monta re

“disha hara kyamon boka…Monta re…” Beautifully explaining the nuances of the confused heart…the song so easily manages to captivate the attention by its lyrics which strike that softest chord of the heart. We do not even realize how confused our heart makes us every day in taking decisions. The heart wants what it wants. It rarely wants to listen to rationale and logic. The very first line of the song astoundingly portrays how foolishly the heart flies off using paper wings. Every time I listen to this song, I take a deep breath, steal a smile to myself and say “It’s okay”. It’s okay to be lost, to be confused, to cross the societal boundaries and to be hopelessly in love. The heart is innocently foolish. Let it be that way

Vienna

Life is such a paradox. We spend our entire lives chasing a destination, only for it to get farther, the closer we think we are to it. And when we finally reach the end of the line, we regret all the moments we missed out on because we never slowed down and valued the journey. On days when it feels as if all the un-lived expectations, abandoned dreams and over-bearing responsibilities will get the best of me, I find myself listening to Vienna by Billy Joel.This song reminds me that I am still young, ambitious and full of life. That I have a whole life ahead of me and it is not going anywhere.It reminds me to slow down once in a while and enjoy all the quirks that come with this life. I don’t need to worry too much, Vienna will wait for me.

Serendipity

 That one song that cheers me up has to be serendipity by BTS Jimin. It is a K-pop song sung by BTS member Jimin & written by BTS member RM. Although this song is majorly in Korean & not up to understanding, it’s the music that is so good. Music truly has no borders and you need not understand the language to enjoy the music. This song calms my mind and to some extent helps me reduce my anxiety. I listen to this song whenever I am feeling low, depressed or sad, and for a matter of fact it’s been my go to song. The song name is serendipity which means to find interesting or valuable things in life. This song reminds me to love myself regardless of the fact that we have ups and downs in one’s life. Jimin the singer of this song said in one of his interview that he wanted to push himself as a vocalist & those words inspire me to do the same &achieve more in life.to achieve dreams, to achieve happiness, most importantly love for myself.

Believer

Yes, you guessed it right. This song Believer sung by Imagine Dragons always motivates me whenever I am down. Believer is a song which makes you believe that no matter the circumstances, you can achieve anything. It makes me feel that whatever I can dream of, I can definitely reach at its summit. It depicts that nothing lasts forever and this helps me to get over silly things and get a fresh start. Also, these amazing lyrics throw away my stubborn sorrow and fill me full of energy and enthusiasm. However, this is the one thing that I would hear for ages.

Vande Mataram

  Music, instruments, taal, good lyrics, sur together makes a beautiful song. National song "Vande Mataram", not at all because it's our national song but there's a small yet amazing story behind it. I was in my 5thgrade and had participated in a singing competition. Well that was my first ever stage performance. Long story short, being a “not so very famous kid" in my school, my teachers suggested all the beautiful songs to all the other participants.

So, I choose "VANDEMATARAM"... and the teachers along with the participants were 100% sure (more sure than the Dettol which clears 99.9%of germs) that I am not winning the competition....but as my mom says "Believe in yourself, you can achieve success” and believing the same, I not only got 1^st prize but also the special appreciations from the judges and the teachers, who were then so sure that I was the only one. Later my mom told me that it was our national song written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, she explained me the meaning of every stanza. I came to know that Rabindranath Tagore was the first one to sing the song. Even today when I listen to the song it cheers me up and gives me positive vibes saying that "Go Akanksha, you Can  do that, no matter what, if you are tall, dark or not so famous, If you believe in yourself you can achieve success" and after that I was not only famous (well,that was not my intentions though) but also I started listening to my parents and tracing each and every word what they say and if in my life I  feel low  I listen to the song "VandeMataram" .

Special Mention 

Myself

“But look at me now, I am still dreaming, still believing in myself.” 

This is that one song that not only cheers me up but makes me believe in myself, gives me hope, inspires me. A song that tells us while you are a kid life’s perfect but growing up things don’t always work out as we want, and then we search for someone to fix us. But in the end it’s the realisation that no one else but you yourself will save you, will grow you. This song has got me out of my tough times, heartbreaks - it was like a little support system telling me over and over again that I am complete, I am sufficient. All I need is to believe in myself, love myself and not care what people out there think about me. That yes I had everything planned out but sometimes things don’t work out and it’s okay, life, things - everything won’t be perfect and planned. There are curveballs and I’ve learned to live with it.

There was a time when I wasn’t believing and loving myself but this song made me do it all over again.

Castle of Glass

This is one of the songs that I have been listening to since long time. Something about this song cheers me up, lightens my shoulders and lifts my spirit. The music itself makes me forget about my worries and everything around! I listen to it when I am happy or sad! Listening to this song makes me feel better, gives me hope in hopeless situation and mentally helps me to be calm and composed. I have played this song over and over so many times that my Mom recognises the music and its beats. Somewhat she also likes this song! Somehow I feel someone standing beside me during hard times when I listen to it, I feel as if someone's supporting and helping me to stand up on my feet to face the world! I will love this song forever.
