Croon your way into your beloved’s heart

Singer Neil Diamond once said, “It’s very difficult for me to say ‘I love you’ but to sing ‘I love you’ for me is easier.” Many times words fall short to express what the heart desires, and is then music comes to rescue. Modern day lovers find a great help in confessing their love through karaoke, and since Valentine’s Day is around the corner many are even planning to surprise their beloveds by crooning romantic tracks for them at karaoke.
Kanika Mathur, a 26-year-old, who recently got married, wants to surprise her husband by singing a song for him on V-Day. She says, “I have been practising a romantic song, which is my husband’s favourite song and we consider it as ‘our’ song. I want to surprise him with my special song performance at a karaoke night.”
Prithvi Raj Dev, a karaoke jockey, mentions how many people shed their inhibitions at karaoke and dare to confess their love over songs. He says, “I was conducting a karaoke session at Blues last weekend, when there was a girl who was singing songs for a guy who was leaving for Dehradun. She tried to convince him to stay back through music. On an average we play 50-60 songs, and most of them are romantic numbers.”
For Ranjiv Kumar, director, Harry’s Karaoke Lounge Bar, who plans to have a romantic karaoke marathon on V-Day, feels that songs are the best way to express emotions. He says, “We are doing a special six-hour marathon karaoke from afternoon to midnight. At times, when people are in groups they pick up songs and use them as a medium to express their feelings. We get so many requests and it works out most of the time.”

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
