Mandelmorph Numbers

Perhaps the most interesting and irritating thing about watching videos with kids is how much they insist on repetition. Until every sound and every visual has been utterly enjoyed and absorbed, the child will persist. What a remarkable quality, or combination of qualities, that is. Curiosity and Perseverance.

Among the many videos of nursery rhymes that we view on a daily basis, I toss in some other ones that catch my fancy. One of our mutual favourites is the video below called Mandelmorph numbers:



This video has grown on me so much that I can conjure it easily in complete silence!

Tere Liye....

I am totally smitten by this Atif Aslam tune ever since I heard it a few months back. At the outset, it might not catch you as a great song; in many ways it has typical cheesy lyrics, not particularly extraordinary music but I can’t get over the second stanza  - it’s perfection. 


It’s almost built by the interlude before for a lovely high pitched rendition of the female singer (  bheegi bheegi raatoen mein…) which again gets repeated later ( bikri tere …). Lovely mixture of perfect vocals and beats.  In my listening history this is one of the songs dominated by great female vocals (Male vocals are distinct but has become somewhat signature Atif Aslam). May be good Asian music sounds like this in 20th century?
