Remember my question from the last music lesson...

"What's the difference between an ostinati and a motif?"

Vani, I took the liberty of checking it out myself.

The answer (found from wikipedia):
An ostinati IS a motif.

 An ostinato is always a succession of equal sounds, wherein each note always has the same weight or stress. The repeating idea may be a rhythmic pattern, part of a tune, or a complete melody in itself.

A classical music example:
The basso continuo part from Pachelbel's Canon in D.
Riffs are ostinato's.  Think "Iron Man" by  Black Sabbath: (<-- click for link to youtube)

This chord progression is repeated over and over again.
