Dhoom Again

It's funny how music reminds us of a certain phase/incident in our life. Somebody spoke about the Tata Young item number from Dhoom today. The 2004 movie was a hit and I loved it. I would listen to that song n-times a day. It was 14th October 2004 (15th, technically) as we were celebrating Banka's birthday, and planned to take the celebrations to Veer-da-Dhaba.

We left Banka/Bhussy's apartment at 2 am. Everybody was sloshed/near-sloshed.

(Leaving Bhussy/Banka'a apartment with Tanmay riding pillion)
Dhoom Dhoom come and light my fire
Dhoom Dhoom let me take you higher

(Lighting another cigarette on the bike)
Dhoom Dhoom I wanna feel that burnin'
Dhoom Dhoom it's a wild emotion
Dhoom Dhoom passion and devotion,
Dhoom Dhoom now the wheels are turnin'.

(We are leading amongst 5 bikers as we take a turn from DP road to Baner Road. Tanmany comes close as he is a little skeptical about my biking since Feb 2002 Goa days)
Move your body close to mine now,
Let me feel your love divine now,
Together we'll explode and we'll go boom boom boom.

Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom.

(We are riding on the smooth curves of Baner road at 70 and I decide to accelerate)
Dhoom Dhoom i'm gonna make you sweat now,
Dhoom Dhoom let's get all wet now
Dhoom Dhoom gotta get down on it.

(Now Tanmay has lost all his apprehensions as he starts enjoying it)
Dhoom Dhoom till the early mornin'
Dhoom Dhoom until the silver dawnin'
Dhoom Dhoom I know that you want it.

(The feeling of popping the beer bottle open is going to be no less than Alonso popping champagne)
Shake your body down to the ground,
Once you go there's no turnin' round
Tonight we're gonna make the world go boom boom boom.

Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom.

(And we are pretty close to the Bombay-Pune highway)
(Dance with me, dance with me
This is my philosophy)
(Dance with me, dance with me, oh yeah)
(Dance with me, dance with me
This is my philosophy)
(Dance with me, dance with me, oh yeah)

(Screeching noise of the tyres for 2 seconds followed by a thud - followed by unconsciousness)
This burnin' inside
You know you just cannot hide,
So don't fight the feeling let your body decide
When you get down on the road,
It's a wild overload
Ridin' higher than you ever did before.

(We call for an ambulance. Chatur tries to stop the bleeding with his post-alcohol expert handling. I gain consciousness as I ask others to go on to VDD and not to spoil the party. Bhussy contemplates my advice. Tanmay is alive and so am I. Hurray!! )
Dhoom Dhoom let your body do the talkin'
Dhoom Dhoom I wanna keep on rockin',
Dhoom Dhoom I want it twenty four seven
Dhoom Dhoom get the rhythm of the beat now,
Dhoom Dhoom feel the fire and the heat now
Dhoom Dhoom take a trip to heaven,

(The ambulance has not come yet. Bhussy and Banka take me on the bike to Medipoint hospital, and the intoxicating sight of blood mixed with 6 large drinks gives me a terrific high)
I wanna feel the wind in my hair now
Spread the power, everywhere now,
Feel the magic just go zip zap zoom!!!

(8 guys are in the hospital fighting with doctors at 2:45 am to let them in the emergency room as my face is being stitched)
Dhoom machale...come on all you people

Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom,
Dhoom machale Dhoom machale Dhoom!!!!!
