Pappu Can'T Dance ...


Dance and music is as old as our civilization is. In those days when societies were hunters or nascent farmers,the dance and music was ceremonial and symbol of togetherness,everyone was participant. Dance and music was simple and a community act. But  dance became alien to most of the people when it became individual act.
Now  a days people dance  together in party, marriages but it lacks  feeling of coherent togetherness, we   DANCE together but rarely we wish to MERGE our INDIVIDUALITY.

Now dance  has many forms, its considered as an art to be learned. but SWINGING in JOY needs not any learning and believe me that IS real DANCE. 
But we have have become alien to these simple joys  because of complexities of life, which we have created around. i often hear people saying i don do not know dancing, i can not dance.
but before dance you should know how to feel the beat of music, then dance becomes spontaneous.The most difficult thing in starting dance IS OVERCOMING HESITATION. most of the people fear public dance. 
And as people rise in life, they become more and more alien to dance. but see what ― Friedrich Nietzsche says about dance-We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. 

Today my song is different that reminds us THAT some times we have all the luxuries in life but still we are deprived of simple joys like DANCE. 
PAPPU CAN`T DANCE...

lyrics

Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance

Hai Muscular, Hai Popular, Hai Muscular, Hai Popular, Spectacular He’S A Bachelor
Paapu Ki Gaadi Tez Hai, Pappu Kudiyon Mein Craze Hai
Pappu Ke Aankhen Light Blue, Pappu Dikhtha Angrez Hai
Rado Ki Ghadi Haathon Mein Perfume Gucci Waala

But Pappu Cant Dance Saala….Pappu Cant Dance Saala
Pappu Nach Nahin Saktha

When I Am Gonna See You With The Dance In The Hall 
When I Am Gonna See You With The Dance Sir!!
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance

Paida Pappy Hua To Kismathein Chamke
Aur Uske Moo Mein Thi Chandi Ki Chamche
Hey Hey Hey Pappu Ke Paas Hai Pyasa, Hey Hey Hey Haathon Ke Meil Ke Jaisa
Hey Hey Hey Pappu Yaaron Ka Yaar Hai, Hey Hey Hey Pappu Is Hot And Smart Hai
But Pappu Cant Dance Saala….Pappu Cant Dance Saala
Pappu Nach Nahin Saktha

Thirkit Thana Na Na Na…. Thirkit Thana Na Na Na….
Thirkit Thana Na Na Na…. Thirkit Thana Na Na Na….

Baap Kehthe Hai Bada Naam Karega; Mera Pappu To Aisa Kaam Karega
Hey Hey Hey Pappu Ke Paas Hai Pa, Hey Hey Hey Kartha Hai France Mein Holiday
Hey Hey Hey Pappu Ki Car Woh Laatha Hai, Hey Hey Hey Jahan Jaatha Hai Chchaa Jaatha Hai
But Pappu Cant Dance Saala….
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance

But Pappu Cant Dance Saala….
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance
When I Am Gonna See You With The Dance In The Hall 
When I Am Gonna See You With The Dance Sir!!
Pappu Nach Nahin Saktha
Thirkit Thana Thirkit Thana Thiri Thiri Thana Lets Dance



ANMOL VACHAN:
"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh."
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

लम्हों की गुज़ारिश है

लम्हों की गुज़ारिश  है पास आ जाएँ, A brilliantly filmed love song . Sweet lyrics and music.  And soulful voices of  बाबुल  सुप्रियो  और  अल्का  यागनिक  . It takes me to dreamland ,  made only  for  हम -तुम . I like the creativity used in the song, how they(hero-heroine) relate all the love  situations of different people  with them selves only, they think in terms of  हम -तुम.
लम्हों की गुज़ारिश  है 
 इस गाने  के बोल इतने अच्छे हैं कि हिन्दी में लिखने  पर मजबूर कर दिया 1

खास पंक्ति जो हमें बेहद पसन्द है - छूलो बदन मगर इस तरह ,जैसे सुरीला साज़ हो ,(touch me but rhythmically and softly)


    सांसों को  सांसों में ढलने दो  ज़रा 1
     धीमी  सी धड़कन को बढ़ने  दो ज़रा 11
लम्हों की गुज़ारिश  है पास आ जाएँ
हम -तुम

आखों में हमको उतरने  दो ज़रा ,
बाहों मैं हमको पिघलने दो ज़रा
लम्हों की गुज़ारिश  है ये    पास आ जाएँ
हम -तुम 

सिलवटें कहीं , करवटें कहीं
फैल जाए काजल भी तेरा 1
नजरों मैं हो यूं गुज़रता हुआ
ख्वाबों का कोई काफ़िला
ज़िस्मों को रुहों को जलने दो ज़रा
शर्मों हया को मचलने दो ज़रा
लम्हों की गुज़ारिश  है ये  पास आ जाएँ
हम -तुम 
छूलो बदन मगर इस तरह ,
जैसे सुरीला साज़ हो ,
अँधेरे छुपे तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ में ,
खोलो  के रात हो 1

आँचल  को सीने से ढलने दो ज़रा ,
शबनम की बूंदें फिसलने दो ज़रा
लम्हों की गुज़ारिश  है ये  पास आ जाएँ
हम -तुम

Mere dil main aaj kya hai ?



After Raj kapoor and Guru Dutt if anybody has continuously touched the romance with elegance for more than three decades, it was Yash Raj Chopra. He made one of the most melodious romantic movies. He used the sweetness of the music to swirl the emotions. 

His big brother BR Chopra was obsessed with grandeur, perhaps he learnt from his big brother to put grandeur with big stars, Switzerland like locations, in spite of all this,  in his narrative he rarely forgot to keep the  emotions raw and simple which has the power to relate with audience. There are many great songs in his movies. But in this moment my mood is in favor of the song from his offbeat movie of the 70s, his first solo venture DAAG. Mere dil main aaj kya hai , tu kahe tou main bata doon.

 RIP- Yash Raj Chopra
My fav line:

कोई ढूंढने भी आये, तो हमे ना ढूंढ पाए
तू मुझे कही छूपा दे, मैं तुझे कही छूपा दूँ

Lyrics-
मेरे दिल में आज क्या है, तू कहे तो मैं बता दूँ
तेरी जुल्फ फिर सवारू, तेरी मांग फिर सजा दूँ

मुझे देवता बनाकर, तेरी चाहतों ने पूजा
मेरा प्यार कह रहा है, मैं तुझे खुदा बना दूँ

कोई ढूंढने भी आये, तो हमे ना ढूंढ पाए
तू मुझे कही छूपा दे, मैं तुझे कही छूपा दूँ

मेरे बाजूओं में के, तेरा दर्द चैन पाए
तेरे गेसुओं में छूप कर, मैं जहाँ के गम भूला दूँ

SONG OF LOVE


This is 100th post , I have selected the love song that is part of my life in some special way. It will remain secret for few days , I wish to write about it when I will be really deeply engulfed by love. Till then a love poem by Rumi.


Songs of the soul

In every breath 
if you're the center 
of your own desires 
you'll lose the grace 
of your beloved 

But if in every breath 
you blow away 
your self claim 
the ecstasy of love 
will soon arrive 

In every breath 
if you're the center 
of your own thoughts 
the sadness of autumn 
will fall on you 

But if in every breath 
you strip naked 
just like a winter 
the joy of spring 
will grow from within 

All your impatience 
comes from the push 
for gain of patience 
let go of the effort 
and peace will arrive 

All your unfulfilled desires 
are from your greed 
for gain of fulfillments 
let go of them all 
and they will be sent as gifts 

Fall in love with 
the agony of love 
not the ecstasy 
then the beloved 
will fall in love with you
            Jalal-u-din  RUMI


 It has been long since I have promised this post; I got the punch of emotion many times to write this post but could not write for one or other reasons.  Yesterday while travelling I realized, what we imagine as a perfect time, sometime never comes. It is not necessary that life would give you every chance. So do it now otherwise never. And it becomes absolutely necessary when someone is waiting…
Before I declare the -song of love-. let me say  my heart  that felt the new dimension of love which got revealed through suffering I witnessed. The love left abandoned; when shook my soul; I find the breadth of love that is infinite. We often hear about depth of love, but love`s depth has some bottom but breadth is infinite. It wraps you; it engulfs you, or simply I say -wherever you may go you find it waiting for you.
  Being in love means; living in a different plane. In ordinary plane, we can imagine about love but love`s salt is known to only those who have tasted it. LOVE is for blessed few, It is for those; who choose to earn sufferings for a thing; logical mind says not so worthy. But they do not heed to mind and listen to their heart that says- this is the ultimate desire, if it is not worth possessing what else is?
Now, The song of love. It is part of my life. When I purposed my love, after accepting my proposal next day she asked me- to what song you would relate your love for me?
 I said- it’s my favorite love song that perfectly matches my feelings at the moment.
तुम गए हो, नूर गया है, नहीं तो चरागों से लौ जा रही थीii
जीने की तुमसे, वजह मिल गयी है, बड़ी बेवजह जिन्दगी जा रही थीii

 This song from pen of Gulzar in a Gulzar directed movie Andhi  is matchless ,poured feeling of love in a different mould but in a perfect way and RD Burman gave the words their true spirit through his music and Lata and kishore  together are always magical.
This song transports me to a different world. I feel like being a pair of free birds is on their wings with hallucination of love in their hearts.
 Amo Shum!

तुम गए हो, नूर गया है
नहीं तो चरागों से लौ जा रही थी
जीने की तुमसे, वजह मिल गयी है
बड़ी बेवजह जिन्दगी जा रही थी

कहाँ से चले, कहाँ के लिए
ये खबर नहीं थी मगर
कोई भी सिरा, जहाँ जा मिला
वही तुम मिलोगे
के हम तक तुम्हारी दुआ रही थी
तुम गए हो...

दिन डूबा नहीं, रात डूबी नहीं
जाने कैसा है सफ़र
ख़्वाबों के दीये, आँखों में लिए
वहीँ रहे थे
जहाँ से तुम्हारी सदा रही थी
तुम गए हो...

SONG OF WISDOM


Shrimad Bhagvad Gita tells there are only two ways to realize God. One is gyan-marg(path of wisdom ) and other is bhakti marg(path of devotion).if someone asks which one is better, answer is bhakti marg, reason - it is simple & short ,one has to unconditionally  devote oneself to God. But gyan marg is reaching to God by knowledge and intelligence and it is not possible for everyone to go through this long path.  I believe ultimately both paths get merged. As both reach to love, ultimate wisdom is love. If intelligence is not deep rooted in the soil of love, its mere an intelligence it’s not wisdom and it would never realize God. Similarly if Bhakti is not engulfed by love, it’s not a true Bhakti.
Intelligence is very useful thing but has a limit but love is infinite. There are two people I can remember for being ultimate in their field. The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, the ultimate intellect but his intelligence could not save even his own balance of mind, he lived like a mental in last days of his life, other is almost illiterate Indian saint Kabir full of wisdom, his Bhakti was deep rooted in love, till last moment of life he never lost his mind, he died in Maghar just to teach people that dying in any place does not matter but your good deeds are the only earnings that go with you. So it does not matter whether you die in Kashi or maghar (It was believed that if one dies in Kashi- goes to paradise and if one dies in Maghar – goes to hell).

            Why this long talk about wisdom & love before a song? You may ask.   I have to select a song for 100th post. I thought a lot, two songs ultimately surfaced on my mind. One is philosophical /wisdom song and other is love song.  Both of these songs  entangle with my existence. Ultimately love song got the 100th position. But 99th position is not less important as in this whole universe nothing is absolute save God and love is not different from God .so anything pure in this world is 99 as 100 is God only.   
So my 99th  is      SONG OF WISDOM & 100th  will be SONG OF LOVE

         SONG OF WISDOM is  AYE DIL- E- NADAN by Lata Ji from the movie Razia Sultan. The words of wisdom are by Jan Nisar Akhtar. This song is timeless, the words, voice and music make it rarest of the rare GEM. I have not heard any other song that starts with sound of  santoor.  Khayyam sahib at the end of his career has given this precious gift to Hindi Cinema Music.


My favourite line is-
Arzoon ne har kisi dil ko dard bantein hain, kitne ghayal hain kitnet bismil hain,  iss khudai mai ek tu kya hai?
 (Desires are the reason of sorrow, your pain and suffering is too small, there are uncounted people who are suffering the pain and grief in the kingdom of God.)


                                                
aye dil-ye-naadaan  aye dil-ye-naadaan aarzoo kya hai?
 zoostazoo kya hai?
 hum bhatakate hain, kyon bhatakate hain dashta-o-seharaa mein
aisa lagata hai, mauj pyaasi hai apane dareeyaa mein
 kaisee uljhan hai, kyon ye ulajhan hai
 ek saaya sa, rubaru kya hai
 kyaa qyamat hai, kya musibat hai
 kah nahin sakatey  kis ka aramaan hai
zindagee jaise khoyee khoyee hai, hairaan hairaan hai
ye zameen chup hai, aasamaan chup hai
 fir ye dhadakan see chaar su kyaa hai
 aye dila-ye-naadaan ayesi raahon mein kitaney kaante hain
aarazooon ne har kisi dil ko dard baante hain
 kitaney ghaayal hain, kitaney bismil hain is khudaee mein yek tu kya
hai?  Yek tu kya hai?
