When you are silent
you'll know what your heart wants
When you are silent
you'll know where you want to be
When you are silent
you'll know whom you want to be with
When you are silent
you'll know what you would love to do
When you are silent
you'll know who your friends are
When you are silent
you'll know how noisy the world is
When you are silent
you'll know whom you love
When you are silent
you'll know who you are.

Music of life: Songs I loved
A friend asked me yesterday about my favourite singer?
It took me few minutes to think. There are so many good singers, each one has different strengths n weakness.. How can i pick up just one amongst them? Very difficult..Each one has its charm.. I am very passionate about music. Music is like oxygen for me.. I like all kinds of music. In my views each singer has few good songs, some are exceptions.
I think almost everyone likes music. Love for music is universal. Nature has created music. The chirping of birds, humming of bees everything has music. The sound of flowing water from a stream or a river has music in it. Everything in this universe has music in it. Try to listen to a conch shell on a sea shore you can hear good music.
There is an old Chinese saying " A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song"..
During the journey of life, we listen to so many songs. Some of them remain as a part of life as memories. Whenever we listen to them, it carries back us to the past.. Some songs connect to us well. In some songs we identify the predicament that we are going through. Some songs have exactly the same word that we wanted to say some one. Some songs have our feelings, some have the questions and some have the answers.
Some one referred me the following song by Runa Laila from the movie Gharonda " Tumhe ho na ho mujhe itna yakin hai". I had heard this song earlier but never seriously. I listen the song more than a hundred times that night.. watched the video several times. Now it has become one of my favourite songs. The best part of this song is its lyric. The way Gulzar, the lyricist of the song has played with the word no & yes. This song has been very nicely sang by Runa Laila. Its describes a girl's dichotomous feelings about the boy. She does not love the boy but still clueless about her feelings about the boy. Why she feel sad without him? Why she searches for excuses to meet him or be with him.. The best part of this song is in the last stanza there; where there is a big pause between the nahi (no) and haan (yes). The duality of the girl's feeling is so nicely shown.. Hats off to Gulzaar and Runa Laila for such a wonderful song.Hats off to the intelligent girl who answered all my questions through this song. This song would have slipped from my life as a wild orchids. I love this song. This song will be remembered for ever..
Song: Tumhe Ho Na Ho….
Movie: Gharonda
Year:1977
Music: Jaidev Verma
Lyrics: Gulzar
Director: Bhimsen
Tumhe ho naa ho, mujh ko to itanaa yakeen hai
Tumhe ho naa ho, mujh ko to itanaa yakeen hai
Mujhe pyaar tum se nahin hai, nahin hai
Mujhe pyaar tum se nahin hai, nahin hai
Magar maine ye raaj ab tak naa jaanaa
Ke kyon pyaari lagati hai, baatien tumhaari
Mai kyon tum se milane ka dhundoo bahaana
kabhi maine chaha, tumhe chuu ke dekhu
Kabhi maine chaaha, tumhe paas laanaa
Magar phir bhi... Magag phir bhi is baat kaa to yakeen hai..
Mujhe pyar tum se nahi hai nahi hai
Mujhe pyar tum se nahi hai nahi............. hai
Phir bhi jo tum door rahate ho mujh se
Toh rahate hain dil pe, udaasi ke saaye
Koi khwaab unche makaanon se zaanke
Koi khwaab baithhaa rahe, sar jukhaye
kabhi dil kee raahon mane faile andheraa
Kabhi door tak roshani muskuraye
magar fir bhee.....Magar phir bhi is baat kaa to yakeen hai ..
Mujhe pyar tum se nahi hai nahi hai
