Last night as soon as I reach home I thought I will NOT turn the computer on but I felt like listening to this song 'Dheemi Dheemi' from Shiva 2006 which is one of my favorites and also Rahul's. So actually switched on the computer, listened to the song and slept bit early than my usual bed time.
I woke up in the middle of the night (which is around 2 am) to listen to the song again. So this time I was lazy to get a better music experience. I just Youtubed it over my phone with the keyword 'Dheemi Dheemi'.
The top result I get is 'Dheemi Dheemi' from 1947:Earth. A beautiful song which reminds me of my childhood about how I discovered music.
It was Rahul whom I used to call 'Anna'. I just miss calling him 'Anna' now. It was through him I discovered music. I remember very well how he used to start his day with music every morning on a '2 cassette' and ' 3 CD music player ' - 1200 Watt (don’t know what does it mean but was always envious that my friend used to own a player with more watt) which we still own.

Through him I discovered music like Roja, Bombay, Sakhi, Cheli, Jeans, Rhythm, Yuva and Swades. Whoever thinks I have better music sense then the credit goes to him and who think I don't then credit goes to me.
Rahul used to have a habit of buying genuine music. He used to buy cassettes way back. We were the guys who literally experienced the great migration of cassettes to Music CD's living together. Now experiencing CD's to Ipod/USB's living in different parts of the world.
So somehow in the middle of the night I started listening to this song 'Dheemi Dheemi' and started crying, reminiscing how my brother and I were connected through music and later movies. I still remember him taking me to 'Godzilla' which he already watched. He was so excited to show me the movie the very next day. I still remember us watching 'Jeans' walking back home, talking about the movie to find out our dad hospitalized due to Malaria
Those were days where we used to like movies by 'Shankar'. Those were days where we knew Spielberg and James Cameron as the only Hollywood directors. Those were days where we discovered new movies through just one person.
It’s funny and at the same time interesting how life can be connected through just one song.
Though we are separated by an Ocean/Ocean’s we are united through music and film. Through something which is straight from the heart.
