Song #39
Zindagi kuchh to bata

Happy Birthday Salman Khan 27 Dec

After having done his first lead role in 1988 Sooraj Barjatya movie Maine Pyar Kiya, there was no looking back for Salman Khan; one of the three Khans who was always in demand and who made more money than the other two.

His structured and strong body (reportedly he is so fond of his body that he loses his shirt very quickly in any role like the song O O jaane jaana, Dhoonde tujhe deewana (a favourite of mine)) is matched with the softness of his looks; a super combination.

I like to see his movies on the day of his release and so on 17 Jul 2015 you could have seen me in I-Max watching this movie. The movie was his own production together with Kabir Khan and Rockline Venkatesh. He had Kabir Khan direct the film. It had a story which too was written by Kabir Khan.

The movie stars Harshaali Malhotra as Shahida ‘Munni’ Rauf Ali Khan, a mute Pakistani girl who gets lost in India (separated from her family visiting India from Pakistan) only to bump into Pawan (Salman Khan; a devotee of Hanuman), who makes it his mission to take her back home in Pakistan. Whilst there, they run into a kind hearted Pakistani reporter Chand Nawab played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

The Song

I immediately took to this song when I saw the movie. Neelesh Mishra’s lyrics (I have already given you his Jaadu hai nasha hai earlier once) were composed by Pritam and sung by Jubin Nautyal, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Pritam himself and Rekha Bhardwaj. More than anything, I love the lyrics:

इक दिन मोहब्बत ओढ़ कर
इक दिन गली के मोड़ पर
तेरी हथेली पर लिखूं
मेरा नाम, तेरे नाम पर
फिर तु तक़ल्लुफ़ छोड़ कर
फिर तु झुका कर के नज़र
रखना मेरे काँधे पे सर
ज़िन्दगी
कुछ तो बता ज़िन्दगी
अपना पता ज़िन्दगी

तारों भरी इक रात में, तेरे ख़त पढ़ेंगे साथ में
कोरा जो पन्ना रह गया, एक कांपते से हाथ में
थोड़ी शिक़ायत करना तू, थोड़ी शिक़ायत मैं करूँ
नाराज़ बस ना होना तू ज़िन्दगी
कुछ तो बता ज़िन्दगी
अपना पता ज़िन्दगी…

(तू है तो मैं हूँ, तू है तो मैं हूँ
तू है तो फ़लक, तू है तो ज़मीं)

कोई रस्ता, कोई डगर
कोई निशाँ तो दे मुझे
कुछ तो बता ज़िन्दगी
ज़िन्दगी

My Own Poetry

ZINDAGI KYA KYA SIKHATI HAI?

क्या अजब हकीकत है यह दोस्तो:
खुशी बढ़ती है बांटने से,
दर्द बांटने से घटता है,
गमगीन हों तो वक़्त बोझ है,
मुस्कराते बस यूं ही कटता है।
लेने से दौलत नहीं बढ़ती,
देने से हम होते हैं अमीर,
वो क्या गरीब जो किसी का ग़म खरीदे,
वो क्या अमीर जो बेच डाले ज़मीर?
क्या फायदा उस सच का,
जो किसी की ले ले जान,
क्यूं नफ़रत करें उस झूठ की,
जो आदमी को बना दे इंसान?
बहुत बोझ मिलते हैं उठाने को,
उठता नहीं बोझ गुनाहों का।
लोगों से तो नज़रें बचा लोगे,
क्या करिए अपनी अंदरूनी निगाहों का?
जो दूसरों के चुराएं ख्यालात,
वो तो बहुत मकबूल हैं,
वो बेचारे अकेले फिरते हैं
जिनकी अपनी तखील और असूल हैं।
सुनने देखने पे भी दोस्तो,
न करना कभी उसका यकीन,
जो मीठी मीठी बातें करे,
पर हो सांप ए आस्तीन।

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy: Zindagi kuchh to bata….

I hope you enjoyed my choice for Song #40 in the series.

Please await Song #41 –  Zindagi kaisi hai paheli haay.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
