This is an appreciation tweet. For a (imho) underappreciated genre.
The Marathi dhinchak/DJ songs.
When it comes to foot taping music, we are usually associated with Bhangra. But dappankuthu songs are a class of their own. And these Marathi numbers. Truly fast and fantastic!
Exhibit 1. Dolbywalya DJ.
P.S: I don't have a clue about the lyrics (although there is an 'appadi podu' somewhere in the song ;)) but the music and the energy is terrific!
The super popular Zingat.
Please, please add to this list! I haven't even scratched the surface of this precious mine.
Shitti Vajli Gaadi Sutli.
Zagga.
Apparently, wedding song of the year, 2017, it seems :D definitely a good dance number for any baaraat :D

34. I had moved into a new job after facing a toxic work environment.
I had gone through a spectrum of emotions. Ranging from resignation to fate to 'hey I'm better off than many people so let me not complain'.
I was still figuring life out. I wanted a child. Travel the world.
Do things for my spouse. My family.
Amidst the shitstorm, there were things to look forward to.
34 is when a lot of people are figuring life out.
After getting into a frame of mind where there is a shred of empowerment to decide things for them selves after being force fed
societal norms for almost 75% of those 34 years from 'well wishers'.
Study well. These are your career paths. These are your life paths. Marry on time. Have kids on time. Buy a house. Save. Close loans. Invest in savings. Invest in retirement plan. Save now. You can spend later.
