Music playlists are personal, and tell many stories about us. Does your playlist have a mix of languages, classics, rock, meditational music, classical music and more?
Songs have stories and memories. Which are the songs of your first dance, first date, long drives, graduation celebration, exam stress buster, the list is endless. We react instantly to a favorite song. Not only the song, but the music composers also have endearing fandom. Sachin Tendulkar’s father, Ramesh Tendulkar was a big fan of the legendary Indian music legend Sachin Dev Burman and named his son Sachin after him.
Steve Jobs said, “You know, I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or a Beatles song, but there’s that that one line and that one Beatles song – You and I have memories that stretch out longer than the road that stretches out ahead.”

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
Einstein
“Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.”
Stevie Wonder
OUR HOME CITY!
Our Home-city is where this story begins, where our stories begin. Hi, I live in …….! Often this introduction gets a reaction, Oh really! I have been there! I know so many people from your city! Your city is amazing! Yes! Our home cities are amazing!
Even though every city has its pluses and minuses, we love our home cities. They become a part of our identities. We have so many fond memories and stories of our city. The experiences of our home city are priceless – the street food, the culture, our favorite go-to restaurant, this list is long. Our city experiences become our experiences. When we are away from our cities, we miss our home cities and it is always great to come back home! Let’s look at why our home cities rock! Home city is home no matter what. Yes, there could be a love-hate relationship, but that is what makes the experience even more special and unique. Doesn’t coming back to the city, bring a smile to our face and a sigh of relief. The familiarity of the city is almost adrenaline to our senses. The emotion we feel on the sight of our home city from the airplane is always special, like seeing a friend after a long time.
What do we love about our home city? First and foremost, our homes , family and friends are in the city and that’s always special, isn’t it? No place like your own home, your own kitchen, corner, chair, cup for your morning tea/coffee. Its almost therapeutic. You can dine out often, but 10/10 for simple home cooked meals !
The familiarity of our favourite places in our home city is a big winner, as well as are our relationships. Its roads, its places, getting around to work and our favourite places of leisure is always welcome. We love the familiarity, the vegetable vendors, the neighbourhood pets, all adding upto the reason, why our home city rocks! At the same time, new places in our city are so exciting to discover and that is a new story, we will share soon. Meanwhile, three cheers for our home city!
What do you love about your city? What would you score the highest as pluses and what would you rank as the not -so- favourite? Do write in to us. We would love to know, share and inspire all. Lets share our stories. Let us together, ‘Enrich lives and Enrich Society.’
