Geeta Chandran, danseuse

nWhen I?m driving around in the city, I listen mostly to the FM channels. Though they play mostly Hindi film songs, I don?t mind that, though I prefer classical-based numbers. I liked some of the songs from Jism a lot, and another of my favourite songs is the Zara zara number from Rehna hai tere dil mein. It has a very catchy tune and I find myself humming it often. I also enjoyed the songs from Devdas.

I watched Shabana Azmi?s Morning Raga recently and the film was as beautiful as its music. It has a number of Carnatic music-based songs and I listened to them incessantly for a while on my car?s Kenwood CD player. When I drive out of city limits, I carry along my tapes and CDs that I don?t get time to listen to at home. While Sufi music is an all-time favourite, my latest passion is Western classical. I?ve been listening to a lot of Tchaikovsky lately as I recently choreographed a dance sequence set to some of his compositions.
