The SRK routine

Some songs do it for you. The recent 'Khuda jaane...' from 'Bachna he haseeno' is one such number, methinks. Sure, it's no classic and months later I would have purged it out of my system. Really, it's not like one of those olden goldies that one can listen to anytime.

Right now, I'm in the mood for 'Khuda jaane'. It's expansive and makes you want to do the SRK routine. Let's try this together. At the count of 'Khuda jaaaaaaannnnneeee....', spread your arms, bend a little backwards, tilt a little to the side, head back and yenjoooooy (note: all this has to be done with split-second precision). The words, music swooshes over you much better that way. It would help if you had a designer sweater.

I do it all the time for appropriate numbers. No seriously, it feels soooo good. Stand in front of the mirror (or just about anywhere actually) for maximum impact. While in public though, watch out for passerby's who could be smacked in the face by your windmill-arms. Don't get too carried away in public or you could find yourself in a padded room.

So, swoosh, spread, pirouette...and fill your soul with feel-good numbers.

agree on the part that some of the new stuff they churn out becomes hummable and danceable for a while...but they loose their flavor real soon unlike the oldies which seem never out of season Khuda janne kyun

btw am waiting for your feedback on the Threshold story.
