My 100 fav songs@100th Blog entry

After almost four years of meandering the count has reached the numerical figure of 100 . May be the numbers speak more than it deserves but this numerical  count gives chance to take notice of good and bad which did take place. To be specific , this is my 100th blog entry at blogspot.As quite obvious, at  the beginning it was difficult to comprehend the love which i was to generate for Reading/writing in general and blogging in particular. It can be safely  said my best is yet to come , ant it's far away, as i am yet to give  better words to my thoughts, but the journey is very much on...

Question was what should i write for this blog entry and the answer eluded me for quite sometime. During last few months i was updating one file containing my favorite songs list . Some of these songs continue to entertain my eardrums with reasonable frequency. These are some associated memory with each song in the list. This list is very much random, not sure but i may have missed some of my favorite songs. But this list essentially contains the majority of my  favorite songs over the years.Here it goes...

1: Main tenu samjhawan : Rahat Fatah Ali : Listening to Rahat Ali takes you to different world, music is some sort of medicine for sure .
