Do you also just let your YouTube playlist do it’s own thing by queuing songs on it’s own ?
I do, too.
But most of the time it’s either because it plays in one of the chrome tabs while I’m on an Excel sheet sorting/arranging some data.
Tonight (I, of course, mean the night before) after dinner I thought of writing a post and while staring at the blank Ms-Word screen. Blink. Blink.
Youtube, by default, becomes your TV when you don’t have one! And thank God! Otherwise, watching those awful news channels would make me rant everyday about things that I’m really trying not to get worked up about. Seriously!
There used to be a time when my Grandfather used to tell us ‘Watch News’! Watching news was considered an intellectual indulgence and a value addition to your GK! I hope today’s grandfather’s don’t say that to their kids. Else, God save us!
Beherhaal, YouTube popped up a favorite ‘Jaane would kaise log the’ which occasionally ends up on loop. But is something that I’ve not listened to, in a while. Click. Play.
I get back to the blank screen. Still Blinking.
Aargh! I wonder what’s with the whole, ‘What should I write?’ thought. Getting stuck is awful. Irritating. Questions loop in an echo. Answer? Ha ha ha!
‘Ye Jo Des hai mera’
Listening to the song only takes me to that scene where Mohan Bhargav buys a kulhad of water from that boy in the station. That moment freezes in front, even when I’m not looking at the video. If I look at it, I’ll feel like watching the movie again. And it’s already past midnight. It’s the other day.
‘Kyun’ from Barfi
‘Aazadiyan’ from Udaan
‘Tu bin bataye’ from Rang De Basanti
‘Kitni baaten’ from Lakshya
And they all play one after the other. The ads play in between because well, YouTube is the new TV. Right?
Coke Studio Season 9. Woah, I need to switch. ‘Tera Would Pyaar’. What’s the point of starting at a blank screen, anyway! And well, Momina Mustehsan. Do I have to give a reason?
Nawazishen Karam. Indeed. Fits perfectly. Now, I can sleep.
