Constant Evolution of Voided Existense

Do you know which is the most intriguing part of our existence? Its when some part of others still living inside us long after they have left us. It lives on in those oblivion part of ourself from where it can prop up anytime and gives us a big jolt, good enough to make us numb.

Constant evolution of this existence inside us over the years will make it more meaningful where one would be at peace with it and may be more comfortable to have them as silent companions for life in the form of memories. May be when things go wrong, when we dont have anyone to talk, when its difficult to find the way out and when life will be coming hard at us, we will have these memories to turn to. If not those people, their ‘some’ part would be still breathing inside us. And may be that will keep us going. Hopefully.

You are Everything

You are everything. Hope, courage, madness, serenity, creativity, enigma, anger, lust, imagination, reverberation, flawless, enchanting, complicated, surreal, raw, bitter, neutral, spiritual, provoked, compassion, truth, seeker, believer, reason, problem, solution.

You are everything. You are part of my life. You are with or without you. The music which never dies. You are eternity.

The song of Hope

And here I am again attempting to write about music. This time it’s about the song that has literally taken my imagination to new level and every time its different enlightening experience. I dont know exactly how but music has been always enlightening experience for me and every single time I get lost in the rhythm and melody and beats and it just takes me to the state of trance.

There are some songs which just occupies your mind and makes its presence felt in your daily routine life again and again. In my case it is like the song that makes its guest appearance several times through out the day. This cameo kind of appearance is like a continuum like as in all the different mood of that song and those particular moments will flash for me in split second that leaves me wondering for more and….sigh, rest i cant describe in words !!!

Aazaadiyan from the movie Udaan composed by effervescent Amit Trivedi is my latest obsession. In hindsight if I look, I have wriiten only about With or without you previously and no other song in particular and here I am writing about this *adjective I cant think of* song.

To start with the lyrics I must confess that I am completely blown away with the lyrics of this songs and not just this song but the entire album of Udaan, it is breath of fresh air amid chaos of some filth of disgraced musical lyrics specially in hindi movies. I wish Amit Trivedi who composed the music for this movie and Amitabh Bhattacharya who wrote the lyrics and Neuman Pinto who contributed with vocals make a Rock Band. Personally I rate this song at par with any other U2 or Pink Floyd track in terms of quality, composition etc and that I think is a very big thing for me. I dont know much about the technicality of the music but the way traditional sitar is interwoven in this whole piece is just amazing, specially when the it comes into play for the second time in the song, I literally get the goosebumps in my stomach.

The song ends on a very interesting note. I really like these lyrics which gives hint of confusion and a hope both at the same time. Beautiful fusion of emotions.

कहानी ख़त्म है या शुरुआत होने को है
सुबह नयी है ये या फिर रात होने को है
आने वाला वक़्त देगा पनाहे
या फिर से मिलेंगे दो रहे
खबर क्या, क्या पता

This song is a celebration of youth. This song is celebration of life and dreams. This song is celebration of hope, THAT IS.

Naked Truth

Did you all know where were you heading when you all started? I dont think so. Dreams, aspirations coupled with the wings of knowledge, youth and enthusiasm and you thought you will conquer the world. Little did you know that life demands more from you, infact more then you can give it back. Its simple ‘quid pro quo’. Everything comes with a price tag, not a tag which you can manage with the power of your pocket but the tag that is hard to satisfy and price that is hard to pay. As you go on living, you pay the price in terms of relationships, love, innocence, humility and probably biggest of them all, soul. Days, months and years pass and you go on living, sometime to become a nice other half in a relationship, sometimes a successful entrepreneur, sometimes successful leader and sometimes something else. You carry the burden of the expectations that the family is having from you and not to forget the friends and society at large. In a bid to comply with rules and following customs you forget to nurture the beautiful relationships of your younger, innocent years. You sacrifice friends who mattered, people who cared, teachers who made you what you are, parents who gave this beautiful life. You forget everything and join the rat race and with all the wisdom and knowledge that you claim to have, you never realize that even if you manage this rate race and win, you are still a rat.

And one fine day you realize that, this is not what you wanted. And Voila.

शायद वक़्त बदल ने को है |

अजब फिजा है की मौसम बदल ने को है |
यांदे है ताज़ा पर रिश्ते बदल ने को है |
आइना कहता है चेहरा वही है, पर दिल बागी होने को है |
पहेचान मिली खुद की जिनसे हमें, आज फिर से अजनबी होने को है |
जांबाज़ तो हम भी इतने थे नहीं, शायद वक़्त बदल ने को है |
