Songs from the Helmet Studio

Stuck in yet another traffic jam, soaked in the rain, I suddenly remembered this old habit of mine, of playing antakshari with myself on the bike. (It helped that at my previous workplace, we used to sing a lot, we played antakshari often, and loudly - happiness was encouraged, even its loud off-key manifestations) I survived many traffic jams with my one-person orchestra within the helmet studio.

I tried to remember my favorites, have forgotten most, sadly. But these came to mind:


Kahi Door Jab Din (All-time easy song for those of us who cannot sing - or so we think)
