Give me some sunshine, give me some rain

This song captures the sentiments that we — my classmates and I — used to talk about when we were engineering undergraduates. (Although the story involves engineering undergraduates, it was reportedly shot in a business school campus, namely Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore).

The narrations, interspersed with musical stanzas, makes the song memorable. The fact that lyricist स्वानंद has carefully used technical terms routinely used in engineering, makes engineering students — former and present — appreciate the nicely disguised humor. Of course, in order to appreciate the Hindi language humor, it helps if you know Hindi.

All izz well

Considerable poetic skill is required to craft a song using multiple languages. (It can also be argued that it is easier find rhythmic words if you use multiple languages). This song is a good composition that tries to provide a simple, lighthearted and humorous outlook on life.
