You are aware that no repairs can be done but you know you had to break the sad news to him. So before that happens you show him the Baja app. Meanwhile, when you pretend to fix the recorder, you ask him to type in the song he wants to listen to. In goes “aarti collection” and he gets excited to see the endless aarti playlists and albums. And the day went by with your grandpa lost in devotion. Here’s your chance to settle the broken recorder up on the shelf.
Today we have the power to slip in nostalgia at any time. In the mood for Sufi? You got your radio app playing only Sufi songs. Back then it wasn’t such a case. Even if the radio was on, you had to wait for a Sufi song to play. Maybe at times, it was your favourite Sufi song and maybe at times, it wasn’t. Well, it’s a pity to hear shayaris when you only wanted was Sufi for that evening tea.
But no more the case of mismatched moods, pick your genre and listen to what you really want to. We have so many platforms for songs and playlists. The Baja app as mentioned above, even allows you to make your own playlists. This allows you to create a personalized playlist that reflects your personality and sense of emotions. Moreover, imagine a pile of devotional songs that you tailored in a playlist is somebody’s go-to evening aarti!
Isn’t it a blissful feeling when your parents request an old song which they haven’t heard in a while and you play it for them? Did you see how nostalgic they felt? A very happy nostalgia! Sometimes you don’t remember the name of the song but today you just record 2 to 3 lines of it and it’s done! Your song is requested and you get your song in no time. Technology brings nostalgia to you and in your style. It understands how tedious it is to scan through the millions of songs from the past history and hence helps you with convenient searching.
So your grandpa comes back, asks you to play Hanuman Chalisa, you are perplexed as to which artist’s Chalisa you should play and then you hand it over to him with the numerous choices. Excited again to see the end number of Hindi bhajans and different artists for each bhajan, your grandpa goes back to his devotional zone.
So next time when something nostalgic is broken, you will always have a tech back up for the same. But it’s said that what’s broken is beautiful. So it’s okay even if the recorder broke, it did its job all these years for your grandpa’s Sufi and tea evenings.
