Music is one of the most powerful tools to travel back in time and refresh the memories that hold a special place in your heart. Picture this, it’s summer time in 2007, the window AC is exhaling an icy breeze like the Night King from ‘Game of Thrones’ while the afternoon sun obliterates everything outside your house, you’ve just had your lunch and ‘Laree Choote’ from the Abhay Deol-starrer ‘Ek Chalis Ki Last Local’ is playing on a music channel and there isn’t a worry in the world for you.

Brings a barrage of memories, doesn’t it?

It was the era of good music playing across the Indian mainstream as opposed to the current times when barring a few exceptions, all you hear are singers setting their voices to melodyne or auto-tune, and composers heavily synthesising their melodies to make it “audience friendly”.
