YouTube is a wonder, I’d
say! Many a times, simple browsing through the videos has led me to some
wonderful discoveries. May be an amazing unbelievable video, or may be a
beautiful song/dance, or maybe some new interesting bits of information.
Once I’ve seen a video in
which our newly-wed class tutor and her hubby enacted a famous Malayalam film song!
It was really weird and embarrassing! :o
Good for her that she resigned from
the college before we discovered this video.
(Well... the video is no
longer available. Probably they both took it down after reading all our
comments. But I should agree that her acting skills are excellent, unlike her teaching
skills)
One of my all time
favourite songs, WHERE YOU ARE
by RIE SINCLAIR, from one of my favourite TV series, GENERAL HOSPITAL, was also
serendipity. Watched a video, then watched another video in the suggestions by YouTube,
then it connected to another video and so on and finally happened to watch this
particular episode, got so addicted to the song played in the background and
that’s how I collected all the words I could pick up from it and googled them. Since
then, not a day in my life has passed without listening to WHERE YOU ARE. Currently
I’ve got all episodes of GENERAL HOSPITAL. And I’ve become a die-hard fan of
Rie Sinclair!
Something happened last day
in YouTube. I was wasting my time idly browsing through YouTube videos when I finally
reached a mind-blowing Tango performance by Rachel Stevens and Vincent
Argentine. The lady looked very familiar. I visited her YouTube channel and
watched one of her videos. Instantly a smile blossomed on my face and I drifted
back to the good old times...
She was a member of the former
British teen-pop band S Club 7 whose TV series was broadcast in Nickelodeon India
more than a decade back. Yes, it was one of my favourite shows and the ones that introduced me to the world of Music Bands and TV Series :) :) :)
Tina, Jon, Paul, Hannah,
Bradley, Rachel and Jo - Oh! How I loved watching those seven youngsters dance
and sing and have all the fun together... I used to try dancing along with them
(Once, while dancing to S Club Party, I even accidentally hit the glass on the
table, cracking it into pieces! From that day onwards dancing was almost banned
at home :P)
This TV series featured the
band as an aspiring group living in Florida. During every episode they’d play
one song of the band. It was a fun series... :)
Often I’d fancy having a
boyfriend who looks like Jon 3:)
Jo was the best singer, Tina’s dance was great
and Hannah was very cute.
But my personal favourite
was Rachel as she seemed extremely cute and pretty, there was something special and
unique in her dance moves and I loved the way she shakes her hips and "do
her thing" ;)
Though I don’t remember
much about the story and other characters, a professor who showers saliva
fountain while speaking is still vivid in my memory :D
Guess
it was one of the best kids’ programs in Nickelodeon at that time.
You know, I felt so lucky and
really very happy to be the kid of '90s who grew up watching and enjoying S
Club 7; something that
the new generation kids cannot claim!
Missing those times when I
used to rush home after school, not wanting to miss even the title song of S
Club 7! Wish I could relive those moments......sigh!
Thank
you guys - Tina, Jon, Paul, Hannah, Bradley, Rachel and Jo - for making my
childhood very special... and thank you YouTube, for helping me rediscover my
childhood! <3 <3 <3

“There
ain’t no party like an S Club party” B)
Well,
do you have any such special songs/series/films that take you back to some
treasured moments? What are they? Care to share...... :)
