Funnily enough, I was watching an episode of Friends just before I checked my feed reader and found this post. Hope that doesn't mean I've entered the "slopes of afteryouth" myself. ;-)

Hey Sidin,
Nachna Odne Nei has become very popular again thanks to this dance on Britain's got talent.
I bet you guys fall into formation (a circle i.e.) as soon as the Punjabi number starts and then start doing the same step over and over and over...Ah nostalgia ;)

"..perhaps th DJ was simply too young to remember that old classic " Ouch! After that painful reminder of ebbing youth, let me add masala to the wound and say I don't recognise the song either! Plizz to bring roshni on the matter.

Ohh well, i think i did find one turban wearing DJ was getting dangerously nervous whenever someone was coming upto him and asking him for a request. Maybe the "missus" effect is taking its toll!

Probably 'Nachna Odne Nei' is popular in Thrissur or Amdavad? Never heard abt it till now! Nor could connect to the Niles Crane is prob the things ppl watch in Abu Dhabi?
the posts are getting un-relatable of late!

I do exactly the same thing- every time I go to a party, I invariably ask the DJ to play Punjabi!! (And no, I am not married to a Mallu but a Gult!!)

Awww. thank you thank you thank you... For over a month now, this page did not forgive the readers for forgetting the Srinivasan (Poor likes of us who never knew of his existence in the first place suffered too, but lets not get there)
And day after day after day after day, we did F5 F5 F5 on this page and nopes we were not still forgiven yet. In sheer desperation, we resorted to reading the "blogs", or should they be called the bitching logs, by a star who is supposed to be the BIGGEST B on the face of this earth. While we were doing prateeksha with bathed breath, there was no reason for jalsa in our life. No complaints on that front too. In its own way, the rants and the counterrants and the rants countering the counterrants were amusing in their own depressing way. And tell us, YE great one, if you keep on ignoring this page we all love so much, driven to despondency, is it wrong for us, the ever hungry readers to gorge on mindless drivel that keep us occupied!?!??!!
And today, when we finally landed in here... WHATAY relief it was. Doesnt matter that we have never heard of the song ever before, doesnt matter joking about one's age especially when reader shivers in trepidation every year on whether the cost of the candles shall outdo the cost of the cake is a rude wake up call, doesnt matter that it hurts to be reminded time and again that FRIENDS is not the end of the world for the hep people today... Your post still made us very very glad. We return home with a heavy heart blessing, oops, not that afteryouth yet, we shall make that thanking, thanking the author deeply, greatly, profoundly, bing lee, chang lee....

Just right to the video in youtube, you will find a text box containing the code, titled Embed contains something like this

Hey Sidin, Try using the YouTube Wordpress plugin. Makes life a lot simpler to embed videos in a post.
hey btw, if I don't recall Nachna either, can I be counted among the youth?

What is with punjabis and music and dance?
what i wrote on my blog when I graduated from my b school sums it up...
"Punjabi music is something that never appealed to me.But my friends swear by it. And as for the huge Sardarjis, they spring to instant action. They wave their arms and legs in a frenzy, magically acquiring the wingspan of an albatross as they contrive to knock off your spectacles from impossible angles and distances. And they stamp on our fallen spectacles for good measure, as they try out a particularly interesting dance step"
:( Nah.... unfortunately I can't say that. I still can't figure out where to find my wall.

Well i must say that afteryouth is a pretty good term to use when we need to talk about slipping onto the older stage of generation gap. well to confess friends still strikes lots of chords , discovert travel and living shows are really appealing and yes Dr. Kranes' humor is absolutely spot on.

HAHAHA! I've heard this song...but in my aunts car...no, i am not calling the missus aunty! :D
On a side note, you should go to a desi party in the US...hear 'em blast techno punjabi/hiphop & catch the antics of the wannabes...trust me, you would be scarred for life! :P
PS: first time here...loving it! :)

Hey Sidin,
That altercation ur missus had with the DJ is the reason we always go to Toto's at Bandra. That place has been playing the same music since the 80's ;-)

just wondering... does a 40 year old mallu aunt who doesn't know the song qualify as "youth"?? ;)

I don't believe this... I do the SAME thing EVERY time I'm near a dance floor where the music is remotely non-techno-trance-hip-hop-blah-blah.
Its always too loud to shout so I type out "Nachna Onda Nei by Tigerstyle" on my mobile and hand the same over to the DJ who always responds with a shake of the head to which I respond with a shorter shake of the head (the question mark that implies 'you don't?') with eyebrows as furrowed as they can get.
Anyway, I have YET to find a DJ who has the ears to have heard the song and kept it... or the ones who have kept it to have listened to it to fully appreciate the beauty in that song and for them to play it fully on the dance floor.
FOUR years, and still counting...
P.S. I guess no one from the 04 or 05 batches can ever forget that song, eh?
