I like Missy Elliott's music...ask me why?


Was just remembering the good ol' days when i was an engineering student. Those were the days when I was learning the real rules of life, rules I can use and make practical sense. Somehow I feel that all what u learn in school, all those 12 years of schooling is not really to learn the basics of life and get prepared for it. Those days are truly to get you prepared for college where u learn the real rules. And engineering teaches you more than u ask for! Neways u've got one more year in college than other under-grads, so u get to learn that much more, not abt the subjects but abt life.

U learn the rules of love, of politics, of personality, of friendship and the most important lesson u learn is that life isn't as simple as it looked when in school where u had limited and simple choices like 'do i want to do my homework today or do i want to go out and play cricket?' But then u learn that life's gonna be a lot more complex and there are a thousand choices at every stage and thousand people would advise u a thousand ways to do a thousand different things.

And the Indian engineer is even more confused, he's got more choices than any other damn professional in the world...
1. A thousand jobs profiles to choose from and a thousand jobs in each profile
2. Choice of MBA vs MS vs PHd vs Job vs Business
3. Work in India vs Work Abroad
4. Study in India vs Study Abroad
5. A thousand cute girls around you so u really don't know where to spend the efforts and where the real ROI is gonna be
6. Long distance relationship (LDR) vs Local Flings
7. A thousand places to hang out to and a thousand types of acquaintances to hang out with
and
8. Finally, since I wanna speak about music here...a thousand music genres to select from, go the indipop way, or the ghazals, or the rock n heavy metal stuff, or trance, etc, etc.

You are real confused with all those choice, atleast I was...

So, when I heard Missy Elliott's "Get your Freak on" for the first time, I just fell in love with her music...

Why? B'cos it was simple music - peppy nursery rhyme beats, extremely basic lyrics and sounds which must have been very common with us humans when we had not developed the art of language!!
And so I love the music, bcos its simple, all the songs have the message right up and makes me dance to it!!!

And talking about basic instinct...nothing can be more basic than the lyrics of Missy Elliott's famous rendition "Work It"....
There is no choice here, u just gotta 'WORK IT'!!!

Njoi and keep life simple!!!

Dude, which engineering college you were studying in where you had thousands of cute girls around you ???

Are you sure you did your engineering in an engineering college ?
