Music for the mind!

Ever heard of 'brain music therapy'? Medical researchers have looked precisely there - in the brain - to find a solution to our daily whine, STRESS.

A study in the journal of the American Medical Association found music decreased blood pressure and enhanced the performance of surgeons. And the journal of pediatric health care reported infants who listen to music during circumcision feel less pain, and maintain a steady heart rate. In fact music therapy was up to 80% effective in reducing stress, inducing sleep, and overcoming anxiety.

Let's find out from some avid music buffs from the telly circle about the rhythms that put them in a positive and recharged frame of mind.

I am an all time Jagjit Singh fan. Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti touches me the most, and a special reason for liking it is that my uncle Sudarshan Fakir has penned the lyrics. I also am into hip-hop and funky music. Talking about singers, Sonu Nigam, Asha Bhonsle and Kishore Kumar figure in my choicest list. I am also fond of ssinging but don't croon publicly.

I enjoy anything which soothes my mind. But nazam and ghazals are my close to my heart. Ahmed Hussain and Mohamed Hussain from Jaipur are my favourite singers and they happen to be my fans. I am fond of their talent. Asha Bhonsle is one singer whom I love to hear for wide range and immense variety. I also appreciate world music, which is played in the Osho commune.
