Nabz' Theme?

What are the chances? I was wandering through the World Wide Web earlier today and chanced upon the website of a Vancouver, BC-based photographer. Her pictures are absolutely gorgeous, and as I was flipping through them, a song I was familiar with, and had always loved, started playing in the background.

Latika's theme from Slumdog Millionaire.

It's an absolutely wonderful piece composed by A.R. Rahman (who's been nominated for a Grammy. WOOT!) and sung by Suzanne D'Mello. Anyway, as is usually the case with songs that I love, I started humming along. I kept on playing the song, and had it still running through my head as I went to take my afternoon nap.

Now the odd part is this. I've always felt that Akbar (my iPhone) can sense what's going on through my head, and plays songs accordingly when he's on shuffle. As I walked out of my apartment 30 minutes ago, to head to the library for another late-night studying session, I started a new shuffle session (as I usually do every morning). The first song was this random song that made me semi-dance all the way to the elevator, and the second one was....yes...Latika's theme. And I have 591 songs on my iPhone.

Weird no?

Anyway. Here's the song - classic viraha song don't you think?
