Mind Speaks - 7

Youtube algorithm is damn good. I don't know how, but it identifies what kind of songs you like and plays it randomly (both from the saved Playlist and also out of the saved Palylist) without any break, One song after the other. Usually, I spend the weekends with Youtube songs (Hindi) playing in the background and me going on with my own work on my personal laptop. Both co-exists without any problem. I collect songs with good lyrics and save it to my playlist. But, for the past few days the very Hindi songs that I used to like is now feeling like a torture. To be specific 3rd degree torture. The same lyrics and words are making me feel like.....Why the hell I learned Hindi to this extent.

Even though my mother tongue is Telugu, during my formative years since childhood, I learned both Telugu and Hindi at the same pace. Learning Hindi was not a choice but an obvious thing to me. It will not be an exaggeration, if I say, sometimes I think and respond in Hindi spontaneously.

Now a days, I am after Pakistani songs where it is 70% Hindi and 30% Urdu. I am listening to those Urdu words, finding out their meaning and learning to use those Urdu words in my daily conversation mixing with Hindi. Even though I like it, at the same time I am finding it toxic.

This is what happens when we get involved in something beyond a certain limit. In the movie " Arjun Reddy " there is one dialogue - " Whatever the subject may be, if you go deep into that, only thing that you will be left with is, Zero ".

छोड़ो यार, हिंदी हो या उर्दू साला, दिल पे लगता है.........

To get rid of this, I have to get myself engaged in something even during weekends. Preferably something that keeps me away from the laptop. Will check on that.

Mind Speaks - 6

 “ अगर किसी चीज को शिद्दत से चाहो तो पूरी कायनात तुम्हे उससे मिलाने में लग जाती है “

Urdu is a beautiful language with many beautiful words. When we listen to such words we will feel we are at Peace. Let's, learn a bit of Urdu too....

शिद्दत                      :-  Passion

कायनात                  :-  Universe/World

 A loose translation of this in English.....

If you wish for something with full passion, then the whole Universe will be at it to get you that.

Note :- There are some minor mistakes in Hindi. It is due to the inconsistencies when English is getting translated to Hindi. I think lack of a proper Hindi keyboard is still a lacuna in the computing World.

Mind Speaks - 5

 " मेरा पानी उतरता देख मेरे किनारे पे घर मत बसा लेना

   मैं समंदर हूँ, लौट कर वापिस आऊंगा "

A loose translation of this in English....

" Seeing my Water receeding, don't build a house on my shore.

  I am the Sea, I will come back "

Got this piece of Shaayari while reading today's Economic Times newspaper. There was an article on Devendra Fadnavis quoting this shayari in Maharashtra Assembly, sometime back. His Party made a strong comeback in the recent 2024 Assembly elections and is going to be sworn as Maharashtra's new CM, today.

Mind Speaks - 4

 “अगर सब कुछ मिलजायेगा ज़िन्दगी में, तो तमन्ना किसकी करोगे

   कुछ अधूरी ख्वाइशें ही तो ज़िन्दगी जीने का मज़ा देती है “

A loose translation of this in English.....

If we get everything in life, then what we will wish for. It is those unfulfilled wishes that will give us the joy of leading the life.

Well said...  सच ही तो है :-)

Tu Meri Zindagi Hai from Aashiqui / Lyricist - Sameer

 " पहली मोहब्बत का एहसास है तू

    बुझके जो बुझ ना पाई वो प्यास है तू

    तू ही मेरी पहली ख्वाहिश

    तू ही आखिरी है

    ………………

    ………….

    ……

    हर ज़ख्म दिल का तुझे दिल से दुआ दे

   खुशियाँ तुझे गम सारे मुझको खुदा दे

   तुझको भुला ना पाया मेरी बेबसी है "

Usually, say if there are 5 songs in a film, then only 1 or 2 will be a hit. 

But " Aashiqui " is an exception. All the songs of this film are super duper hit with good lyrics and good music. Some lines get etched into our memory, these are such lines.

If these lines kindled the interest about lyrics in you, then watch the below given lyrical video.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Title song / Lyricist - Amitabh Bhattacharya

"    जुनून है मेरा, बनूँ मैं तेरे क़ाबिल

      .............

     ..........

     .......

      माना कि तेरी मौजूदगी से ये ज़िंदगानी महरूम है

      जीने का कोई दूजा तरीक़ा ना मेरे दिल को मालूम है
      तुझ को मैं कितनी शिद्दत से चाहूँ, चाहे तो रहना तू बेख़बर
      मोहताज मंज़िल का तो नहीं है, ये एक-तरफ़ा मेरा सफ़र

      सफ़र ख़ूबसूरत है मंज़िल से भी
      मेरी हर कमी को है तू लाज़मी

      अधूरा होके भी है इश्क़ मेरा कामिल

      तेरे बिना गुज़ारा, ऐ दिल, है मुश्किल  "
