dil dhoondta hai

Celebrating Gulzar saab's Birthday on 18th Aug. What magic his words have don't know. Hypnotize every time i listen to them. Just recollecting few of my fav here.

Palko pe chalte [Daayra]: You'll like it at very first listening. Wanna know the perfect time to play this song? Would be the  mid-night on the terrace. Away from the city lights where u can see plenty of stars on the clear dark black sky.


Katra Katra[Ijaazat] : It's a Gazal Genre. With R.D Burmanji's music u sure get the guess right! It's sung by Aashaji. I sometimes ponder over the versatality of Gulzar saab. He started his career back in 1950's and still he's writing lyrics that tops the chart busters.

Sili hawaa choo gayi[Libaas]: This song reminds me 'Yaara Sili sili' everytime i listen to the song. This song has also been sung by Lataji.


There are few beautiful lines i'd like to mention here....

tumse mili jo zindagi hamne abhi khoyee nahi


tere sivaa koi naa tha ,tere siva koi nahi


jinte bhi tay karte gaye badate gaye yeh faasale


milo se din chod aaye saalon se raat leke chale




Chupke chupke ham palkon[Ek Pal]:


Chupke chupke ham palkon kitne sadiyon se


aa doob ke dekhe neele se saagar mein kaisi behete hai



Kabhi kabhi sapna lagata hai[Ratnadeep]: A light hearted duet that u can listen to in the dawn. Ratnadeep has many good songs like 'aisa ho toh kaisa hoga' and 'Man bahak'.


Ek hi kwaab kayee baar[Kinara]:

Few other songs,
*Aaj Kal paao zameen par (Ghar)


*Aap ki ankon mein kuch (Ghar)


*Bol na halke halke (Jhoom bara bar jhoom)


*Ek akela is shehar mein (Gharonda): Few lines from the song...

in umr se lambi sadko ko


manzil pe pahunchte dekha nahi


bas daudati phir ti rahti


hamne toh taharta dekha nahi


is ajnabi si shehar mein


jaana pehachaana dhoondta hai

*dil dhoondta hai ( Masoom ):

yaa garmiyon ki raat jo purwaayiaan chale


thandi safed chaadaron pe jaagen der tak


taaron ko dekhte rahen chhat par pade huye


dil dhoondhtaa hai....

Me and My Stars

Image
I would like to welcome you to my space of thoughts with a short story. I'm sure even you had a similar experience with the facts. Me and My Stars I gazed out of the window to see if any one of them is missing. I know I can't make out even if few of them go absconding. Still I like counting them when I don't get sleep. Small, big, bluish, reddish and so on.I admire all, but am a little biased towards big, blue stars. As a kid I believed they were paris [angels] in bright blue frock with magical powers. If our wishes were true they would come down and fulfill them when we sleep. That is what they did in the stories told by my granny atleast. Later my teacher taught me a fact that they are suns but calledstars because they are far away. Disappointed I was. Because I had so many wishes that pari had to bestow. More and more facts accumulated. Stars turn into a black hole. I would say it is a transformation of a good ol' light emitter into an eater. Heck! Why should I care?...

The Groundnut

Image
In the evening I used to take a walk to a park near by and sit there for sometime. Listening to the chirps of the birds, looking at the squirrels moving around gave me peace of mind. On one such evening a little boy came to me asking me to buy groundnut. just thought it might help the boy in some way and bought it. He neatly wrapped in an old news paper, handed over to me, took two rupees and left happily. Now what do i do with these groundnuts in my hand? simply started eating it watching the squirrels climbing up , coming          down. Swiftly moving on the grass             in search of food. As few of them were moving around in my front I dropped few groundnuts for them too. All of them simply ran away but one slowly returned after sometime as if it understood my intention. We had a good time eating groundnut together.It became a routine for me to buy the groundnut, for  boy to sell it to me and for s...
