what genre of music do you listen?
this is a question you can really expect for your interview, when you have filled your hobbies tag with "listening to music"
I prepared my resume, hobby is listening to music, i am nearing my interviews.
I imagined a panel of people, asking questions and i was answering. Suddenly out of nowhere the critical question came up. I couldn't answer, i was in a total blank state.
If someone asked me the same question a few months back, i wouldn't hesitate to answer.
I am a rock fan. Metallica, Maiden, Dream theater, blah blah...... they are my favorites. I hear it every time. My room mates are already fed up of my fav songs.
I remember very well, when me and Sarin (my roomie) moved together to a new place, first thing i did after cleaning the room was to connect my system and play a metallica song. anyone should have seen the expression on his face. It was a big NO!!! Benny also supported him.
My father had great love for music. We had a great collection or songs at home. Mostly Hindi. I grew up hearing this. I started playing guitar. I played movie songs, ganamelas....One fine night a thief broke into my home. Along with the other stuff he could lay hands on, he took all the cassettes. I guess he too loved music. How much we tried, but couldn't restore all. After that started listening to Malayalam songs too. Everything went on till 12th.
I came to Trivandrum for Engineering. Hostel life, along with many other things, changed my songs too. I became addicted to rock.
Time passed on.
I found myself watching a realty show on TV (which didn't play any western nos.). I started hearing melodies, romantic songs. Guitar Gods were replaced by A R Rahman, Harris Jeyaraj, Raveendran, ..........the list goes on. Mohd. Rafi, Kishore kumar,...became heroes of worship.
After a few weeks i found myself siting at the studio of the TV channel and watching the program on recording. I was actually commenting!!!!
What a change. Subin Abid, who used to give lessons on guitaring, that too heavy stuff, is commenting for a great Raveendram composition!!!
But..............
that was only a starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after a fortnight , I was listening to just one singer!!!!!! my favorite singer. My PC and phone played the same "shyamameghame" song again and again. Even my roomie who loved the song started hating it.
Now i wonder
whats is it that i really like??
Was it all about the song or........................???
