nThis may sound slightly narcissistic, but the music I like listening to the most while driving is my own. So many people have told me that there?s a lot of energy in my music and I think that?s necessary when driving. So, mostly I end up listening to my songs like Bolo Ta Ra Ra Ra, Tunak Tunak Tun and Dardi Rab Rab Kardi. Sometimes, I listen to FM ? and though the RJs? constant chatter gets on my nerves, at times they play old Hindi film numbers that I love, especially from Kishore Kumar and Dev Anand films.

I love driving most of the time, which is when I need a lot of peppy numbers to keep myself alert. But if I?m being driven somewhere, I like listening to ghazals by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. Also when I?m in the mood for classical music, I listen to Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj?s renditions of ragas.
