Migrants

ये कौन लोग हैं ये कहाँ जा रहे हैं
पूछो तो कहते घर जा रहे हैं

जहाँ से आये थे ये भूखे आये थे
जहाँ जा रहे हैं ये भूखे ही जा रहे हैं

जो सड़क थी बनवाई इन्होने
उसी पर से चलते जा रहे हैं

निकले तो थे घर की तरफ ये
घर से पहले सड़कों पर ही मरे जा रहें हैं

ये कौन लोग हैं ये कहाँ जा रहे हैं  ...

Paradhin Aahe Jagati Putra Manavacha

पराधीन आहे जगतीं पुत्र मानवाचा People generally look at Ramayan from a religious point of view. I view Ramayan from a different perspective. Its about human tragedies of epic proportions. Its about the hardships a mature human endures.  This song is Ram's way of consoling and counselling his step brother who is angry at the craftiness of his own mother. He seeks forgivenes and asks Ram to return to Ayodhya and and not proceed to 14 years of exile. Every stanza of this long ten stanza song, brings forth a different truth (some may call it philosophy) of life. Like the first says "None to be blamed, all happens as a result of our past deeds and misdeeds". Yet another stanza says birth and death are those realities of life that no one can avoid. The next says "Death is the eternal truth ... all logic stops its door step". Its about a rightful heir to the throne having to leave the kingdom and make way for his youngest step brother to be the king. This is a force...

संदीप खरेच्या कविता

संदीप खरेच्या कविता ..... इतके दिवस मी फ़क्त ऐकले होते की संदीप खरेच्या कविता खूप छान असतात. इथे Calgary मधे weekends ला खूप वेळ मिळत असल्याने त्याच्या कवितांना Google केले। This guy writes good stuff. Actually it is Thanks to dear Sachin Kulkarni that I got to hear Sandeep Khare. The first poem that I heard was "अताशा असे हे मला काय होते ". This is a fantastic piece of retrospection. He has brought about the thoughts of everyone who has thought about his actions of the past. The sight of clouds fighting amongst each other to be the first to drench the earth it clouds our thoughts and finds a way out through the eyes. Absolutely stunning metaphor on the ironies and compulsions of life. Here are some of those that I could. I may have made mistakes in writing the exact words as the convertor that I used was actually an English to Hindi one! Just click on the images to make the poems more readable.

Ravindra Sangeet in Hindi Film Songs

Image
Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore had composed over 2200 songs. These songs are popularly known as Rabindra Sangeet . Over the years I found that many Bollywood songs had their origins in Rabindra Sangeet. Most of the popular music directors had been immensely inspired and not been able to resist using their favourite Rabindra Sangeet tune in their music. They often took a note here or a strand there and created their own versions. in this blog I have tried to cover some songs created by SD Burman, RD Burman, Rajesh Roshan, Naushad and Bappi Lahiri. SD Burman had great respect for Rabindra Sangeet and though he did not sing any of that he used it many times. In fact, the story is that once he jocularly boasted to his friends that he had even ripped of the national anthem (composed by Rabindranath Tagore) for one of his recent hits! Guess which song? Start humming – Punjab Sindh Gujarat Maratha – and you will end up singing Hum Ne To Jab Kaliyaan … Now was this done intentionally as...
