Erin tagged me last week. I'm a teeny bit late, but I hadn't forgotten. Here it is. The Rules List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether or not they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. I'm going to change it up a bit (when did I ever play by rules ;)) I'm going to list what are my all time favorites, as I don't really get a chance to listen to music on a daily basis nowadays. I listen to fast beat songs while I workout, but they're not what I really like at other times. I enjoy listening to Ghazals and old Hindi Movie songs. Slower the better! So, here they are, in no particular order. 1. Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti, Woh Barish Ka Pani (Jagjit Singh) 2. Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho (Jagjit Singh) 3. Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye (Movie...
