A little while ago, my friend Parul (@nakhrewali) posted the following tweet on Twitter:
"I love that feeling of my-heart-could-almost-burst-of-gladness-&-if-it-did-butterflies-would-fly-out that I get with certain songs Ɛi3 <3"
Since I was in a bit of a funk tonight, I asked her to tell me what these songs were so that I could improve my mood. She did, and soon we started exchanging tweets back-and-forth about our favourite "happy" songs and discovered, oddly enough, that they were all from the 90s. Keeping that in mind, we decided to blog our favourite 90s Bollywood songs--and since Valentine's Day is so near, I'm keeping my list love-themed. I hope you all enjoy this trip down memory lane--I know I did. :)
There are honestly so many more songs I want to add to this list. However, I've (rather difficultly) limited it to only ten. 90s Bollywood is, without a doubt, my favourite Bollywood period, so I'm having the best time ever YouTubing these songs--please list your favourite 90s Bollywood songs in the comments; I will probably love you forever for it. :)
P.S., Parul's LiveJournal is here, and her list should be up soon, so do take a look at it! I'm excited to read her list and rediscover all the 90s Bollywood goodness.

90s Bollywood Love Songs

aur aahista; pankaj udas
aur aahista kijiye baatein
dhadkane koi sun raha hoga
speak softer,
someone may be listening to your heartbeats
ek ladki ko dekha; 1942 a love story
ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
jaise subah ka roop
jaise sardi ke dhoop
when i saw a girl, she seemed
like the beauty of morning,
like sunshine in the cold
ho gayi hai mohabbat; aslam & shibani
rakhdein saare jahaan ki kushiyaan
tumhare kadmo par
dekhe na mudh kar duniya
awaaz de do agar
i will place all the world's happiness
at your feet
i will not turn back and look at the world
if you just call out to me
chand ne kuch kaha; dil toh paagal hai
pyar kar,
oh ho ho pyar kar
fall in love,
oh, fall in love
bahon ke darmiyan; khamoshi
bahon ke darmiyan
doh pyar mil rahe hai
in the middle of an embrace
two loves are meeting
khamosh raat; thakshak
yeh sach hai
ya sapna
is this reality
or a dream?
nahin samne; taal
nahin samne yeh alag baat hai
mere paas hai tu
you're not in front of me, but still
you are near me
kehna hi kya; bombay
kehna hi kya yeh nain ek anjaane se jo mile
chal ne lage mohabbat ke jaise ye silsile
what should i say, my eyes met with a stranger's
and right there, a love story bloomed
do dil mil rahe hai; pardes
do dil mil rahe hai
magar chupke chupke
two hearts are meeting
in the sly
maine payal hai chankai; falguni pathak
meri saason mein tu hai basa, oh sajna
aaja na ab tarsa
you've settled in my breath, o beloved
come, don't make me wait
aur aahista kijiye baatein
dhadkane koi sun raha hoga
speak softer,
someone may be listening to your heartbeats
