2. Neele Neele Ambar Par

We picked this one because, in addition to being immensely pleasing to the ears, this song also furnishes you with some beautiful mental imagery. You can listen to this song with your parents, and reminisce about the big blue sky, that awaits you. Also, the wishful lyrics of the song aptly portray the longing for love, a feeling you can probably relate to if you're single, or away from your significant other during this lockdown.

3. Awaraa Hoon

This timeless classic plays in the 1951 movie Awaara, with a foreground of Raj Kapoor sauntering down the streets of Bombay. The lyrics of this song are hauntingly beautiful and drive home the feeling of being a vagabond at heart. Considering all our travel plans for the future are postponed indefinitely, you can instead listen to this song with your parents and daydream about your future plans as a nomad.

4. Gulabi Akhein

We are sure there exist Indians who haven't heard of this song, but we are yet to personally meet any. The go-to-song for every Bollywood obsessed romantic out there, Gulabi Akhein is equal parts starry-eyed and melodious. The lyrics are as poetic as it gets, and the happy tune will always put you in a good mood. We suggest you pin this song as an emergency cheer me up, for when you or your family feel overwhelmed with the current state of things.
