Reflections of a wandering soul

 A song from radio yesterday prompted me for this blog.

I have grown old with Indian Music (yup, English was never my forte except the ever so sexy number Waiting for tonight). Hindi songs were my first love teacher :) They are the best partners to a heartbreak too. There is more to what meets the eye, deep inside, between the lines. Here I go.

1) Chalo ek baar fir se - Gumraah

Melodical suggestion to amputate the disturbing memories, could not have been better. 

Wo afsana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin, 

use ek khoobsurat mod dekar chodna achcha

2) Is mod se jate hai - Aandhi

The quest to unite, so strong, so ethereal yet so simple

ye soch ke baithi hu, ek raah to wo hogi

tum tak jo pahuchti hai

3) Mera kuch saaman - Ijaazat

A masterpiece by R.D. Burman and Gulzar, the perfect company to lonely nights with the raindrops plattering against the window panes. 

ek ijaazat de do bus, jab isko dafnaungi

mai bhi yahi so jaungi

4) Hum tumhe chahte hai aise - Qurbaani

An eternally romantic song, featuring the Ah so handsome Vinod Khanna. The desire of every heart in love

mere khwabon me jo saj raha hai

wo khuda to nahi par zamane me sabse juda hai

5) Jo tumko ho pasand - Safar

One song I would love my man to sing for me time and again. Throughout a promise of fidelity and unfaltering love. The presence of style king Firoz Khan lends more than just meaning to the song ;)

poore hue hai apse armaan zindagi ke

hum zindagi ko apki saugaat kahenge

6) Sagar jaisi aankhon wali - Saagar

Hardly will there be a woman on earth who will not blush listening to the song being directed to her. Full of enraptured admiration and delightful arousal of the senses.

ye armaan hai shor nahi ho,khamoshi ke mele ho
is duniya me koi nahi ho, hum dono hi akele ho

7) Humne dekhi hai - Khamoshi

a beautiful song which is simply out of the world. Every time I listen to the song the lyrics stir some unknown feelings deep inside me. The timeless art of defining love.

sirf ehsas hai ye rooh se mahsoos karo

pyaar ko pyaar hi rehne do koi naam na do

Am sure there are more in the list. Hindi songs have some of the most beautiful gems around. But for now this is all I recall. Feel free to add on.
