Saathiya

The first song that i wrote:

Saathiya mere paas aa,
Zindagi se na duur ja.

Saathiya mere paas aa,
Zindagi se na duur ja.


Jab savera hota hai,
Mujhko andhera lagta hai,

Dukh ke kaante bicha gaya,
Aa kar sukh ke phul bicha,

Saathiya mere paas aa,
Zindagi se na duur ja.

Sab youn haste rahe,
Hum to rote rahe,
Koi saath nahin tha,
Hum tadapte rahe.

Saathiya mere paas aa,
Zindagi se na duur ja.

Rahein jab chal padin,
Hum akele rahe,

Aasuon ke sukhne par,
Hum sambhalne lage.

Saathiya mere paas aa,
Zindagi se na duur ja.

Saathiya mere paas aa,
Zindagi se na duur ja.

Aanchal

Trust me...It didnt help ;-)

Aanchal, Le udi aanchal,
Aanchal, Le udi aanchal.

Yeh jo saundhi saundhi khushbu hai zindagi mein,
Mere dil ki dhadkan kehti hai wahi aanchal hai,
Yeh jo saundhi saundhi khushbu hai zindagi mein,
Mere dil ki dhadkan kehti hai wahi aanchal hai.

Meethi si, pyaari si,
Badi Bholi si hai aanchal.

Aanchal, Le udi aanchal,
Aanchal, Le udi aanchal.

Raahein

Probably the best song that i have written till date:

Raah par chal hi pade hain,
Rukna kyun saathi mere.

Raah par chal hi pade hain,
Rukna kyun saathi mere.

Hawaon mein, In ghataon mein,
Youn to hum gum ho rahe hain,
Masti mein dhun gaa rahe hain,
Masti mein dhun gaa rahe hain.

Raah par chal hi pade hain,
Rukna kyun saathi mere.

Hum to youn haste hain, Haste hain,
Saath youn chalte hain,
Hum to soche yahi,
Hum hi khuda hain...Hum hi Khuda hain.

Raah par chal hi pade hain,
Rukna kyun saathi mere.

Fighting the Waves

Have you ever fought with the waves?. I have! And you know what, it’s the strangest feeling I have ever had. It’s a great feeling to be sprawled face up on a beach looking at the bright sun with the water just reaching your hair making you glisten like a jewel. Just imagine the calm that you feel, its almost surreal and it felt to me that I can lock this moment forever. I still think about it whenever I need the same calm to descend upon me. But that day, alas, the ocean had a mind of its own. The waves just kept growing stronger and made me move on the beach like I was a soft toy. I tried to move up so that I am untroubled by the waves and can lie peacefully but to no avail. They just kept following me wherever I moved.

This is when I decided that I will fight the Ocean. Call me foolish or just plain stupid, I ran into the waves and tried to fight the rising waters by trying to push out of them in to the open sea. The thing is, I knew it was childish of me to do that at that moment but then it was fun! We all know how funny I would have looked running into the water with an angry look and jumping on the waves after that and today I can laugh about it but that day it just felt so good to have fought the nature at my own terms. I know I lost (Am I kidding :-)!!) but I know that I did what I wanted to do and then I failed….i failed while I was laughing madly and yet at the same time, very much at peace with myself.

You know what, maybe there is a lesson to be learnt there……
