Holiday music
Having so many positive benefits, why not people associate them with the music during their holiday time. In India, during religious holiday we often end up listening to various devotional songs and when it comes to Christmas I belive everyone can be heard singing the all familiar Christmas carols. Holiday music brings people together and gets us in the holiday spirit. It can help create memories and bonds with our extended family and friends.
My Holiday Songs.
Everyone have their own liking for songs. For me, It depends what I am upto. Like if I have any travel plans then I prefer to listen any romantic songs of 90's. While we have any family get together or spending idle time at home, I prefer to to enjoy old retro songs. Any songs from Indian bollywood singer like Kishore Kumar or Mohd Rafi do wonder to my mood. I know many do not understand the Hindi bolly woos songs, so I preferred to mention the artist. They always create a cool relaxing atmosphere and makes the holiday time memorable.
This is what we always aims too. To have a soulful time with our loved one to make life more meaningful. Retro songs are quite meaningful as compared to today's Upbeat dogs and that is why it always be on my Playlist for happy good times. Still leaving you with a link to an youtube Playlist of legendry Kishore Kumar.
