Q and A
Q:why do I like ‘kilimanjaro’?
A:One gets the tune even in the first couple of rounds of listening. Nothing complicated. No strict requirements like one should listen to that for 108 times before one ‘gets’ the tune. I don’t have the good sense to listen to something I do not like the 1st time for 107 more times in the hope that I will get it. Pardon my musical ignorance.
How come I liked Delhi 6 ‘masakkali” or ‘kandu kondein kandu kondein’ instantly? Is that because something is wrong with that song or with me? I don’t know.
Sometime back listening to music was a simple thing. That has become a much more complicated project nowadays.
So songs like ‘kilimanjaro’ are a welcome change.

Most of this “one needs to listen several times before one gets a song/tune” syndrome has come about because of A.R.Rahman - and those who consider every film song composed by him to be worthy of reverence
Either one likes a song or not - doesn’t have to be like multiplication tables that one has to repeat it n times to get it

Arima and Kilimanjaro - sticky from the first time. The rest you’ll have to make it sticky or your friends will.
