Akhila Damodaran writes about her fan girl moment
I always wondered if sending a fan message would make any difference, especially when the chances of it getting lost - amid the mounting messages that artists receive - are high. But I guess words spoken from the heart always find a way to reach the other person. Distance, borders and physical presence don't matter.
I admire Umair Jaswal's songs, the most favourite of course being Sammi Meri Waar with the other legend QB for Coke Studio Pakistan Even years later, I listen to it on repeat. I introduced these songs to my office cab driver and he too is hooked. He tells me that he listens to it every day at least 3/4 times and it helps him beat the stress, driving in Bengaluru traffic. Well, I couldn't agree more. It's one of the songs I listen to while riding or driving and it's my go-to song especially when I'm frustrated. The music and the voices of the singers bring a certain calmness.... Do check it out if you haven't already...
