They called me…

They called me mad- I laughed- I was only intellectually insane.

They called me rude and indifferent- I smirked- I was only unlike the crowd.

They called me a loner- I sniggered- I was only among a selected few.

They called me raw and a heart of stone- the fools didn’t see this stone melt at the sight of a child shivering in the cold.

They called me foolish- I grinned- I was just innocent.

They called me impulsive- I shook my head- I was only following my heart.

They called me fickle- I sighed- I was only intrigued by everything.

They called me emotional- I blinked- I was only sensitive to everyone’s feelings.

They called me sophisticated- but they failed to notice the rowdiness in me which manifested itself when I was truly happy.

They called me confusing- but they never made an attempt to understand me.

They called me a dreamer- but they shut their mouths when they saw those dreams turning into a reality.

They called me a rebel- I stayed quiet- I was only being adhering to that which made sense, not to that which resulted in nothing but degradation.

They called me way too outspoken- I raised my voice higher- I was only saying that which was true and reasonable.

They called me an outcast, a recluse, an avant- garde, a sardonic- I stayed quiet and only smiled and kept on- because barking dogs seldom bite and I was no dog to bark back- a tiger never roared unless he found a suitable contender. They never saw or tried to see the humility, quietude, meditative and warm spirit that lay beneath that severe, rigid and uncouth surface. Those who did never let go of it and those who didn’t- well, they called me….

Ekla Chalo ...

Movie: Bose - The Forgotten Hero Lyrics: Javed Akhtar Music: A R Rahman Ekla Chalo begins with a soft Bengali prelude by Nachiketa Chakraborty . It’s mesmerizing tone sets up the mood blending Sonu Nigam’s soothing vocals. Javedsaab elevates his lyricism to new heights through this call for unity. Sonu Nigam shines with his hypnotic rendition. These numbers will grow on you as you delve deeper into Javed Akhtar’s masterful poetry... Jothi tor daak sune keu naa aashe (if no one comes heeding your call) tobe ekla chalo re (walk alone) ekla chalo ekla chalo ekla chalo ekla chalo re (just walk alone) tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega (the forlorn traveller will tread his way) tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega (now whatever happens will be taken care of) ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega tanha rahi apni rah chalta jayega ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega bojh ho mushkilon ka magar (though the hardships weigh heavy on us) na jh...

आई तुझ्या कुशीत, पून्हा यावेसे वाटत

आई तुझ्या कुशीत, पून्हा यावेसे वाटते निर्दयी या जगापासुन, दुर जावेसे वाटते ॥ कोणी न येथे कुणाचा, सारीच नाती खोटी तुझ्याशीच फक्त आता, नाते जपावेसे वाटते ॥ कोळून प्यायलो मी, सुख दुःख सारे माते तुझ्या विरहास, न प्यावेसे वाटते ॥ कित्येक रात्री, ऐश्वर्यात लोळलो मी अखेरच्या क्षणाला, तुझ्या कुशीत निजावेसे वाटते ॥ दगडातला तो देवही,आता नवसाविना पावेना निस्वार्थ हृदय माऊली, तुलाच पूजावेसे वाटते ॥ असेन जर मजला, मानव जन्म कधी आई तुझ्याच पोटी, पून्हा जन्मावेसे वाटते ॥
