I have two companions on my way to work - two channels of the AIR. There are many radio channels now - a plethora of choices, but it's always good old AIR which I keep going back to. The 45 minutes to an hour journey to work is a pleasant one which often has me smiling. It always takes me back to my younger days. There is definitely something about the music - both the English and the Hindi. It is melodious, calm, it soothes. The lyrics make sense, make you connect. The music draws me, the lyrics make me want to pay attention to them and then I start to go back in time. I think of times spent, with my family, my friends. I just rewind to just about anything. What better way to start my work day than by listening to such wonderful time tested music! But......... they don't make them any more!How many of the recent songs have a calming effect? Barely a few! The songs are brash, the accompaniments jarring and the lyrics.....the lesser said the better. And yet, they're popular!!! I hope and pray AIR continues to play the same good old music always............
