Song 3: Love you Zindagi

   

   Continuing my lyrical series ahead, it is time for the next magical number. After two English songs, I will explore our dear Bollywood for an inspirational note. Stuck in my ears with its powerful lyrics and soothing music is a latest song from the movie ‘Dear Zindagi’. Referring to life (Zindagi) as a friend and companion, this unconventional Bollywood movie depicted the amazing feeling of being alive.

   Though the depiction failed in box office due to lack of typical Bollywood spices, it left behind a wonderful message for all. Forgetting the past, living in the present and staying away from the future thoughts or worries was the bottom-line of this movie that showed the power of embracing life.

  This movie definitely inspired the blogger in me delivering new ideas to the flow of my thoughts. While the writer in me touches each of these factors through the means of words, I was excited to see it over screen. Back to the lyrical journey, the title track of this movie by the name ‘Love you Zindagi’ is my latest fascination, playing in loop. A dialogue between self and life, the song oozes out inspiration in every single word. While the singer treats her life as a close friend, she talks about their sweet-sour relationship. With its rhythmic flow and meaningful lyrics, this piece has truly won my heart in every way.

    It talks about the need to embrace life in a wonderful way, keeping away worries and troubles at bay. It prompts each one to accept what they love, while rejecting what they hate. Living life by our choice is the primary core of enjoying it to the fullest. Our decisions and choices shape the form of our life, giving us direction for happiness and joy. Choosing happiness over sorrow and hope over despair is the act that can lead to eternal peace for a lifetime. What we do for a living or how we spend the course of our life is our primary task in hand. Depending on others for their evaluation, appreciation, judgments and decisions can lead to hollowness in our path ahead.

     This song describes unique love-hate relationship between us and life. At times, we are excited and enthusiastic about several events in our life followed by low lying dull moments without any charm. From happiness to sorrow, enthusiasm to disinterest, hope to despair and success to failure, we find ourselves swinging and dancing to the tunes of life. After all, life does not believe in certainty. Uncertain situations and circumstances govern our way, forcing us to adopt to changes in a positive way.

  Writers of this song have truly created a masterpiece, as they communicate with life in a direct manner. Expressing our love and affection towards life, at the same time sharing good and not so good thoughts about it can take us closer to its core.

  Inspired by this interesting idea of talking to life, I am tempted to write a short note too! Let me try my hands at chalking down the sweet and sour flavors of this ‘friend’ who means the world to each one of us.

Dear Zindagi,

Your sweetness reflects in a variety of ways. Though listing down this comprehensive note may not cover every single aspect, it is my little attempt to celebrate your existence:

1.       It feels amazing when you shower us with opportunities and support us to fulfill all our dreams.

2.       Your surprises bring out the best moments in our journey, while you choose to bless us with unexpected moments of achievement.

3.       You allow us to write our own unique story with our plot, characters, theme and genre. This flexibility is the reason for our happiness as we can fill your clean slate with our wonderful words.

Your sourness does bother us to a certain extent, but after all it is a part of the parcel!

1.       Your uncertain timing tends to bother our plans, as you enjoy throwing unexpected situations over our heads

2.       Your fast pace is another aspect that confuses us. Before we realize a new year has started, it is time to gear up for the next year celebration

3.       Your mixed signals can tend to be confusing. At times, you fill us with enthusiastic approach to perform a task, but soon you may take it away in the blink of a moment.

 With this my lyrical journey halts at the next stop. See you next week with yet another song with its magical words.

Lyrics:

Jo dil se lage
Usse keh do hi, hi, hi, hi

Jo dil na lage
Usse keh do bye, bye, bye, bye

Aane do, aane do
Dil mein aa jaane do
Kehdo muskurahat ko
Hi, hi, hi, hi

Jaane do, jaane do
Dil se chale jaane do
Keh do ghabrahat ko
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

Love you zindagi, Love you zindagi
Love you zindagi, Love me zindagi

Kabhi hath pakad ke tu mera
Chal de, chal de
Kabhi hath chuda ke main tera
Chal doon, chal doon

Main thodi si moody hoon
Tu thodi si tedhi hai
Kya khoob ye jodi hai
Teri meri..

Aane do aane do
Dil mein aa jaane do
Keh do muskurahat ko
Hi, hi, hi, hi

Jaane do, jaane do
Dil se chale jaane do
Kehdo ghabrahat ko
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

Love you zindagi, Love you zindagi
Love you zindagi, Love me zindagi
