7 Day Wayback Music Challenge - Day 1 Wednesday

Thanks, @vinamra and @sayee for nominating me for this challenge. I'm quite excited to write on this topic. I'm basically a music lover and I listen to lots of classical songs. I have a selection of few Ragas that attracts me and melts me. If I find any songs in those Raga, I will keep listening to those songs in a loop. But I'm mostly not going to write about any of my Raga based songs in detail in this 7-day challenge. Instead, I'm going to dig my sweet memories and share few songs that really touched my soul so far.

I really don't know how I managed to memorize so many songs from my childhood. I think it is all purely based on the interest that a person has. If I had done that on my studies, I might have scored good marks. Before starting off with my first Music post, I would like to introduce the readers to this contest. below are the rules

Here are the rules for this contest:

• Choose one song from your high-school/college years.
• Write a few words about who made you listen to this song for the first time, what this song means to you (was it a breakup song? you blasted it at 100% on your audio system when you were partying with your friends?) whatever you want.
• Write your text while listening to the song. As soon as the song ends, wrap up what you were writing and submit it. Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated.
• Mention one person who should do this on each day.
• Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post.

Song 1 - Wednesday

Name: Ondra renda Aasaigal

Movie: Kaakha Kaakha

This movie was released during my school days. I remember listening to this song several times in Radio those days. I did not have access to movie songs when I was studying in school as we did not have a TV in our house. But I had an opportunity to go on an excursion with my classmates. I had a crush on my class and throughout the journey, I had nice chat with my crush. She was having a walkman with songs from this movie. She was listening to those songs continuously throughout the trip. When we were standing and a river bridge where water was flowing in both the directions, I borrowed the walkman from her to listen to songs. I had the volume very high and that was my first time to listen to music in a good walkman player through a headset.

This song had been one of my favourite songs those days because of the lyrics and husky voice of the singer. I never knew about the stereo effect of the songs before this incident. When I was listening to this song, suddenly at around 2:25 of this song, there will be a stereo effect where the echo will be split among both the ears. By hearing that I had massive goosebumps having all my body hair standing straight. It just touched my soul and I will never forget that experience. I listened to the same song again and again for few more times to experience the stereo effect which was awesome. It really gave a lovely feeling.

Now when I listen to this song, I get all those memories back. The lyrics of the song and its meaning is what makes the song so special.

I would like to nominate @inuke today for this contest. I believe he will definitely have a good set of songs and nice memories.
