Movie sangharsh has a dialogue “Sapne soch samajh kar dekhne chahiye, kabhi kabhi sach bhi ho jaate hain” … This dialogue defines my day on 28th Jan, 2008.

My composer friend Manu created a music album, in which I was fortunate to participate as a lyricist. Today the album was launched at the music world, Brigade Road, Bangalore. As I climbed the stairs, I heard my song being played. It felt so special, never thought a song that holds lyrics penned by me will be played in public as till date most of my creations stay with me or find way to friend’s mailboxes.

Few lines for the people who worked with the album…

My first voice is a prelude
And is the sign of a song on it way
My first words are the beginning
As my heart has so much to say
My first work is the sunrise
And I know I have the day

But sense of accomplishment is less then the new found restlessness as I itch more then ever before to write and express, as a possibility has unfolded in front of me because of God's grace.

Saawariya Songs

I was the first to get warnings about saawariya, as my friends knew my love for movies and faith on Mr. Bhansali. They cited examples, recited dialogues and ridiculed the ending. It seemed my favorite creator of aesthetics had gone wrong.

No…I watched the songs today on youtube…. He rules… He rocks...

“Jab se tere naina” : The song is romance. Each expression and every movement remind of the madness love creates. How one loose control over sensibilities and yet enjoys the thrills of the fall; the fall in love. When even loneliness gets embellished by the thoughts of some.

"Masha-Allah" : The song talks about a guy mesmerized by beauty of a lady. What a way to generate admiration of a lady. I loved the way masha-allah words come in when her dupatta falls from her head, when he sees her through the glass and when she bends close to him under the bridge. Breath-taking indeed!!

“Thode badmash ho tum” : The song was not my favorite, before I saw it. The song is about companionship, with expression, expectations and relations very clear depicted.

So absolutely charming!! Some of the best picturized songs ever created, on equally spectacular music. How I wish I could view life and love, the Bhansali way.
