NOBODY listens to bhangra anymore. Shams, ghazals, nazeems, these are the hottest things in hindoo music. Along with quasi western pop rock in Marathi. Trust me. Would I lie to you?</p>

<p>As for me, I have a cd of the Oscar nominee excerpts of "Amelie" I found in a thrift store for a buck or two... staple of my iPod.</p>
<p>Amelie, when I watch it, makes me giddy. I sprung it on my wife and eldest daughter (then about 20) when it was in the theaters. I won major "movie-goer" points for that. We have a copy.</p>

<p>When's the next mushaira, sham-e ghazal, or Sham-e-Bollywood? It has been too long since the dulcet tones of Mohammed Rafi were heard on the blogs. Barring that, perhaps some dynamite qawwali?</p>

As far as I know, the original tune was called "Greensleeves" and the lyrics are a lover's plaint to his beloved.

That was back when both my husband and I had the same phones. One fine day, he picked mine up by mistake. I was home and couldn't figure out where it was, knew the battery wasn't dead, and started calling it--again and again and again--to try to find it in the house. While, in fact, it was in his pocket. And he was at a shiur. Thinking dark thoughts about that other person who was not turning off his phone...</p>
<p>But my favorite was the time I was at the sheitel machor's and heard her phone go off. And the tune was "What Child Is This." The very chareidi sheitel machor didn't know what it was, and had been using a song about the baby Jesus as her cell phone ring for literally years.</p>uberimma commented on 'Another cell Phone Saga'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55510ee1788342008-09-09T16:46:43Z2008-09-09T16:46:43ZuberimmaMy phone now rings with Barak singing Hashem is Here.

I was singing under the chupa, all eyes were on me, the room was dead silent, and my phone went off. Back then, my ringtone was the Stephen Foster classic, "Swanee River". I did the only thing I could - I put on my best indignant "who dares to have his cell phone on while I'm singing" look - but I don't think I fooled anybody.</p>
<p>I think my favorite/most annoying ringtone of all time is the one with the guy shouting in Brooklynese: "Pick up da phone! Pick up da phone! Pick up da phone!" But yours is definitely up there. :)</p>Ben-David commented on 'Another cell Phone Saga'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e554f3a2ae88332008-09-09T09:04:12Z2008-09-09T09:04:12ZBen-DavidWe have some weddings coming up - where can I/my wife find those *divine* tunic-n-turban sets?

(I would love to know how to download stuff onto my cellphone. I am so limited technologically! Y, my daughter (the one who is in the same class as your daughter), is constantly telling me that she could do so many more cool things with my phone than I ever do. Unfortunately, it's true. But I'm still not giving her my phone...)</p>
