A song for the Soul

"Mera naam Bilqis Yakub Rasool Mujhse hui bas ek hi bhool Ki jab dhhundhhte thhe vo Ram ko To maen khardi thhi rah mein Pehle ek ne puchha na mujhe kuchh pata thha Dujey ko bhi mera yehi javab thha Itno ne puchha ki mera ab saval hai ki Jinhe naaz hai, hind par vo kahan the Jinhe naaz hai, vo kahan hain

Mera naam Shriman Satyendra Dubey Jo kehna tha kah woh kah chukey Ab pade hai rah main dil main liye ek goli Bas itna Kassor ki humane likha tha Woh sach jo har kisi ki zubaan tha par sach yahan ho jaate hain zahreele Jinhe naaz hai, hind par vo kahan the Jinhe naaz hai, vo kahan hain

Mujhe kahte hain ? Manjunath Maine dekhi bhatakti ek laash Zameer kay beech sadak lakhiyonpur khedi Aadarsh phansa jahan baataon main Aur chor bhare darbaron main Wahan maut ? ki ek khabar hai basi Jinhe naaz hai hind par vo kahan the Jinhe naaz hai vo kahan hain

Maza naam hai Lavleen Kumar Unnees june unnees baar Unnees unnees unnees unnees baar Unnees unnees unnees unnees unnees unnees .. baar Looto to haath kholo bazaar Nalaspora aur Virar Cheeno zamin humsey Bhejo humain pataal Jinhe naaz hai hind par vo kahan the Jinhe naaz hai vo kahan hain"

I just happened to be surfing through the channels last nite when i chanced upon the Song by Rabbi Shergill.

A song that brings back the memories of people long forgotten by us...Bilquis Rassol, Satyendra Dubey, Manjunath ,Lavleen Kaur.

The lyrics talk of the modern day Indians who have dared to raise their voice and ask for answers. Because they cared. It's a song that sure as hell touched my soul. Made me sit back and think things through. I bet Kaus would agree with me when i say this that the song is bloody good... Though its been out for a bit I'm surprised that it hasn't become as popular as it deserves to be... Wonder y? I knw for a fact Achin wud like the song too.... dude if u loved Bulla i'm sure u'd love this one as well. For once i'd be right if i say if music be the food for soul, let it play,let it play.

Being an Army Brat!

Walking down memory lane, looking at pictures from the past, I linger on to this one where my dad's in uniform. Somewhere in the east I think or was it up north. I wonder. The only thing I remember for sure is his reaction to every time I called from law school. "Is everything ok? It's not weekend already is it? " I'd smile a teary eyed smile and say "naah it's Tuesday and I just thought I'd say HI!" I bet he smiled. I could hear it in his voice.

Drunken conversations - A moment in time

Winters brought along thick cover of fog that had just started to roll in. Law school didn’t give her as many sleepless nights as the two boys in her life did.  It was  2:30 am  by her watch and the persistent beep of a call waiting made her take note of the name on the screen. ‘Damn!’ She thought to herself, it was probably the fourth time this month she’d have to tell her boy that she needed to take the other call and he was definitely going to be mad at her this time. It had to be done. She made her excuse and switched the line. “Hello!”she said a little anxiously, but before she could say anything else, the drunk voice from the other end shouted joyously “Baby, I got a job, I got placed”. And she smiled. He’d called up her other number an hour ago and said the same thing over and over again till her Mother replied...”Congratulations! She’s in college son.” He then spent the next ten minutes apologising for calling in the middle of the night. But did it stop ...

Reflections!

She took a moment to stop fidgeting and looked at the reflection.  What she saw amazed her and yet she found it hard to recognize.  The childlike smile and kind eyes that stared back at her quizzically. What had changed? Why was there emptiness where once there was pure joy?   She smiled a wary smile, looked deeper into those eyes that were once kind. Only to find a shallow pool of tears welling inside. And as she turned around to leave she heard a faint voice.  A gentle voice that said “let go”. “Let go and come back to being the girl you were always meant to be and not the empty shell I see in front of me now.”
