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 rare😉

    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 💯% 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....👏👏👏😊💚💙💙💚.

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...

Dear Kabira

Dear Kabira, I don't know what's perfect, the lyrics or the feelings you say which I fail to express. Sometimes you meet some songs that melt you from the places you are afraid to touch. Re Kabira Maan Jaa (रे कबीरा मान जा) Re Faqeera Maan Jaa (रे फ़कीरा मान जा) Aaja Tujhko Pukaare Teri Parchhaaiyan (आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाईयाँ) Your heart just can't stop beating for the lines that play with all the untouched memories you have. Loneliness engulfs you, it tears you part by part and this song just makes you feel everything you hide from the world. This song calls you to be back home and realise your home needs you. It questions why do you want to wander for answers when your home is right there in front of you? Your shadow is calling you back. Come home. Tooti Chaarpaai Wohi (टूटी चारपाई वही) Thandi Purvaai Rasta Dekhe, (ठंडी पुरवाई रस्ता देखे) Doodhon Ki Malaai Wohi (दूधों की मलाई वही) Mitti Ki Suraahi Rasta Dekhe (मिट्टी की सुराही रस्ता देखे) This song gives beautiful me...

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 ही गया... राहों में यूँ जो तू 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. // वक्त ने है किया हम पे कैसा सितम... तुम भी बेज़ार हो, बर्बाद है...
