When I was a pre teen and even teenager, I did not like old songs at all. In fact, I and my peers found old songs as sources of inadvertent amusement when we were tired of disliking them. We wondered all the time why old singers could not sing like the present day singers.

The culture of India, irrespective of religions and regional diversity has one very strong common thread. In all parts of this culture-rich land, the basic celebrations abound with a deep seated respect for the seasons and the natural elements of sky, wind, fire, water and the earth. In the spring season, there are festivals connected with Basant, the celebration of spring. In the monsoon season, there are Teej festivals that celebrating the rainy season. There are festivals that celebrate the sowing of crops, and there are festivals that celebrate harvesting. The Navratri celebrations, that occur twice in the year, herald the onset of summer and the winter seasons. Every event relating to seasons and to the celestial movements in the skies – we have a reason to celebrate, and we have a festival to celebrate it with. No wonder that the culture of this land is simply a continuous celebration of life, each day, every day.
