I have all my pop music CD’s.. Those surely were the days!
In school we would exchange pop music CD’s as very few kids had all the cd’s. The rest of us had a few each and we would barter… you give me shaan and I give you Suchitra! It was the thrill of smuggling in stuff to school and exchanging discreetly without getting caught!

Totally off the track here…But do kids still barter and exchange books, cd’s, pics etc in school nowdays?

We have the culture of “Plenty” now. Every kid had has his gaming console with the complete set of game dvd’s. More books than he cares to read and possibly everything under the sun they want.

Hi Suchitra,

You are right, those were the golden days when you, Shweta Shetty, Alisha, Baba, etc ruled and still rule in our hearts even today. The kids of this generation and also our parents still remember all your names and the good work you´ll have done and it´s a pity that pop is gone and I don´t see that era of Alisha/Shweta ever being created again…since they( new wannabes) are anyway clones of you guys. Hope to hear from you singers soon….WE MISS YOU`LL TERRIBLY!!!

Really where did all those pop stars go. We all bought their music and then would compile various songs on tapes and cds for our various parties. So many times we had mock ramp shows at home where we walked the ramp to their music. Each pop artist had a distinct voice and a distinct style. The videos were so nice. We’d all wait for them to come on tv so that we could pass comments. Watch them sing and even if we criticized at times, basically we appreciated. Our Indian pop stars had a unique charm because of their looks which are so different and even the singing and videos had a nice freshness to it. Ya Suchitra you made me also remember those times. Now you hardly see them any more. Ya artists have to always be careful. Once when Parveen Sultana was singing in the middle of her performance they announced that the Mayor wanted to give a speech. She’d to cut down her bandish. Soon thereafter the programme continued but of course she’d lost her mood, though she smiled inspite of her irritation and wound up before the time was up. What happened in Dubai ya very scary. Life can be like that sometimes. Gosh…..

if i am not mistaken the music is by Andrew Llloyd Webber.

Why dont you write a blog about your Bombay Dreams experience? I remember reading that you were shocked about not even being allowed to auditon in spite of your then husband being the producer of the show…. Curious

We miss the glorious indi pop days too.

Your experience with Noora sounds awful. Shaan sounds like a sweetie -as for Anu Malik he has always come across as a slime ball. Its no surpise he slipped away.

I loved the pop sonds of the 90’s- dole dole, zindagi, bolo tara ra ra and Johny Joker. Baba Sehgals songs were good fun too, as were Alisha’s
