Tujhse Naraaz Nahi Zindagi

Tujhse Naraaz Nahi Zindagi is a landmine of life’s wisdom.

Despite being tapped into countless number of times, it still has more to offer. 

Its layered texture is without the overbearing appendages of pretence. No wonder it is wielded by the pen of Gulzar Saab, one of country’s most aware and prominent literary voices.

In its own right this summons life to a center table. And then submits to it. Ensues an engaging conversation that I’ve never had the courage to move away from. For it has often felt a bit too personal when pain is made to sound like a due to be paid. In lieu of life’s grand moments. But isn’t that true? Even without the poetic justice.

Come to think of it, don’t we always carry the pain like a tagged baggage? How terribly independent though are our joys, squared up only by infrequent bouts of nostalgia.

Barely anybody has spoken about adversity with such poignancy. Life’s hard questions are not innocent whims but Gulzar Saab, a stellar wordsmith, romanticizes pain with remarkable poetry. Look at how he finds solace in tears that have dried up.

Jaane kab gum hoya kaha khoya
ek aansu chhupa ke rakha tha

Tujhse Naraaz Nahi Zindagi is about life’s biggest epiphanies which, ironically, are about life itself. The ones which feel like a discovery. As this song makes that journey, I am onboard at once, keen to see where it goes.

Often, it has travelled deep inside me.

It is true – tujhse naraaz nahi zindagi, hairaan hoon main...

  3. Lives adversity with such poignancy is all about Life’s hard questions trajectories are actually layered life’s biggest epiphanies.... Which is only understood after it happens....only few awakened ones understand it visioning it's consequences....but then such beautiful minds are extremely rarešŸ˜‰

    Anxiety has the initial toll and that's quite amazing as inside Expectations resides.... This is
    expressed kind of feelings is administered firstly without blame and takeing a break before exploding and we for sure don’t know why yit feels this way. We have no clue why we’re so on edge even in normal conditions...... I guess bcz we're humans with exceeded šŸ’Æ% expectations to 200%😊

    And from the 3rd persons view point it's quite mind baffling pulsar state..... In this song words are constructively used in softer form.... But is seen in reality, it's not. It's actually very harsh.
    It's a slow and sad song.... Reacting about a child's state of mind and misunderstanding of not able to understand by the guardian.....

    ✨Yash, you have "Beautifully" captured it's essence in your own words....šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ˜ŠšŸ’ššŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’š.

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, There's something about you that left an indelible laughter in my mind ever since the first time I saw you on screen. Wait, do you understand you are no comedian or joker. You are an alcoholic, debt stricken bloke always swaying to and fro between Raju's cunning mind and Shyam's righteous attitude. You affirmed your seniority everywhere but you never made any sense to me or anyone out there. Tenants need to pay their rent. You get it right? On my off days, when I see your unadulterated smile it bewilders me - I mean how can this man live with such conviction and ease. What about his isolated life? His debts? These questions linger on my mind. It's not okay to be unambitious and surrender to your fate but when life doesn't give you 'Star Fisheries', you can always show some content in your dilapidated 'Star Garage'. Your innocent gullibility, incorruptibility and rustic lunacy bought chuckles. Well, you need to learn that Sh...

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage Hum...

There comes a phase in our life, where neither can we hold feelings, nor can we let it go. We hopelessly love them without any expectations, without any condition, and even knowing they won't love you back, you still love them holding all the broken pieces of your heart. 'Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage', is a song that directly holds the feeling we always want to express but we can't. And every time the songs plays randomly from our playlist, we all just feel the song immensely, holding the feelings out, which were graved deep inside our heart. // दिल का दरिया बह ą¤¹ą„€ गया... ą¤°ą¤¾ą¤¹ą„‹ą¤‚ ą¤®ą„‡ą¤‚ ą¤Æą„‚ą¤ ą¤œą„‹ ą¤¤ą„‚ मिल गया // It's not easy to love someone who we know won't love us back ever, where this song is a struggle between heart and mind, and how difficult is it to hold onto the feelings and even its not easy to let it go and move on. This song best represents the unrequited love, the unsaid emotions, and a broken heart. // ą¤µą¤•ą„ą¤¤ ą¤Øą„‡ ą¤¹ą„ˆ किया हम ą¤Ŗą„‡ ą¤•ą„ˆą¤øą¤¾ सितम... ą¤¤ą„ą¤® ą¤­ą„€ ą¤¬ą„‡ą¤œą¤¼ą¤¾ą¤° ą¤¹ą„‹, ą¤¬ą¤°ą„ą¤¬ą¤¾ą¤¦ ą¤¹ą„ˆ...

Tea for Two!

 I pour water in the bright red pot, gleaming on the outside, a bit rusty on the inside. Red was always your color. Your wardrobe was literally fifty shades of it. The familiarity and warmth of the color red make me smile as I bring it to boil. ā€œLook for angry water bubbles,ā€ you used to say when you were teaching me how to make tea instead of stacking my kitchen counter with instant coffee sachets. I take out the twin tin containers marked ā€œsugarā€ & ā€œteaā€ off the cabinet and carefully put them in, systematically counting the number of teaspoons and measuring the amount in each. ā€œI prefer coffee,ā€ I used to whine but would still let you hold my hand as we put in the sugar, not too much, not too less, surprisingly always the right amount. Then in went the tea leaves, a bit less than I'd like, I always had a taste for intense flavors. But I rarely complained for I knew how much you valued your perfect, daily cup of tea. I then pour in the milk, thinking how I'd never been abl...
