“What are you listening to?” asked my colleague peeping over the cubicle partition.
Me: Uff Teri ada. Sorry, didn’t realize I was playing it loud. I will use the head phones…
Colleague: No probs...
Me: (Spotting his ear phones): And you?
Colleague (beaming proudly): Beera Beera!
Me: Oh ok...
Colleague: You don’t like it?
Me: Frankly…no.
Colleague (eyes popping out): What!!! I don’t believe this!
Me: Me neither.
Colleague: *splutter* *choke* *gasp* you must listen to it again and again Anjali and you will like it after some time.
Me: Define “some time”. A month, year, century?
Colleague (exasperatedly): You don’t understand. You got listen to ARR’s songs repeatedly till it grows on you.
Me: Err it is over a month since it was released. I think I have given it enough time to grow on me and bear flowers and fruit and caterpillars!
Colleague: *groan* Anjali …you must keep persisting!!
Me: You have a point. I dislike lauki (bottle gourd), maybe if I persist it may grow on me and bear baby laukis.
Colleague: OMG! I don’t believe this!
Me: You say one word about people with no taste for good music and I will crack your skull open.
Colleague: Heh heh…*gulp*
An hour later.
Me: Err Harish…
Colleague: Oh hi Anjali. What is it?
Me: That music you are listening to for the past one hour…
Colleague: What about it?
Me: IF YOU PLAY THAT ONE MORE TIME, I WILL CRACK YOUR EFFING SKULL!!
Colleague: *gulp* Sorry Anjali. I thought you liked Uff Teri Ada!
Me: I did! But before you played it like a gazillion times in the past hour!!
Colleague: Sorry. Err...what are you listening to now?
Me (switching on Rubayee): Beera, Beera.
Colleague: You are lying! :(
Me: I know, but I cannot have you kill this one for me dude. Sorry!
We have an arrangement now. I give him the music I am currently into, as long as he doesn’t preach to me about music he is currently-not-into-but-pretends-he-is-into.

That was pretty funny! You got to give the guy credit, when he played the music you liked over an over - that was kind of nice at least from the intent part :)
the only song which grows on you are from "Black Eyed Peas"! :-I
i like beera beera :D
Welcome back! You were missing for a week!
If he is playing a song you like, instead of following his own taste, he likes you.
In other words, you can make him dance to your tune.
Beera beera? What song is that?
But I agree. WHY should I have to persist in listening to something to like it? Es when its music? I can agree for medicine, not for recreation!
Now if that worked for accounts...hmm. Naah. Not happening.
lolzzz you have this fetish for cracking up a skull or what :D :D... frankly I don't like beera beera song... :P
hehe :)
good one
You never fail to put a smile on my face, ever. Lol'ed so loudly in the end that people gave me the looks. :-)) Kickass post.
lol..ahum fans fans fans everywhere :D
Haha :D Btw, Rahman, in my opinion really needs to take a break and rediscover himself. Now he's making music for the masses, and not for himself or out of his passion :|
Ever tried lauki ki sabzi as cooked by the Bhopalis? Maybe then you will ....
same pinch...
beera didnt grow on me either!!

Grayquill: He was honest. There are those who would never admit they like what may not be perceived as cool! :)
Mathew: Any song that grows on you is what you like.
blunt edges: So do others. As long as you don't push it down our throats, we are fine! ;)
Nona: Thank you! I was on vacation! :)
Karthik: He is the regular office music scavenger.
indiashoes: I guess some fans get too zealous! :)
Rajlakshmi: We non-likers should form a union to protect ourselves :p
Nandu: :)
Aswathy: Thank you!
Anish: :)
Sriram: There are songs of his I like very much. I do not like being forced to acknowledge that all his songs are good.
The Holy Lama: Will put that in my to-eat list! :)
Vishwamithran: If you liked it then you genuinely liked it. So enjoy! :)
Adarsh: Thank you! :)
