Have a story to tell? A theme to work on? An emotion to express? A mood to paint? Easy. You can do all this and more with Hindi film songs. For musical stories or theme-based songs or lyrical expressions of moods or...whatever, this promises to be a fun-filled ride. Come, get on the bandwagon!

Her Story: Exchanging Rings!

After a very cordial meeting with parents over tea, the stage is now set for the wedding. The first step towards this alliance is an engagement. Both families celebrate while the couple exchange rings. There is fun, laughter, singing, dancing and good food as family and friends enjoy, looking forward to the wedding.

I did not have to think very hard for a sagaai song. This one from "Hum Aapke Hain Koun" (1994) conveys the excitement around an engagement ceremony very well. Many thought of this film as a long music video. True, there are many songs in HAHK depicting wedding rituals and I will have to resist the temptation of posting more of them.

Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam
Lyrics: Ravinder Rawal
