Songs I Luvvv

Have you heard the songs of GANGSTER ..a very late reaction , but seriously... I had liked the songs alright but had never paid much attention to the meaning of the songs. Each and every line has got so much depth!!! I realized it just yesterday when I was day dreaming and listening to the songs on radio. I have heard the " Ya Ali " song more than thousand times, but it was yesterday I understood what it actually means. My favorite santaza :

'Bina tere na ek pal ho,
Na bin tere kabhi kal ho,
Yeh dil ban jaaye patthar ka,
na isme koi hulchul ho
Sanam Pe Haan, Ishq pe haan,
luta doon, mita doon,
main apni khudi'

Loosely translated:
" Let there not be a single moment without you, nor should tomorrow ever arrive without you. Let this heart turn into a stone, and hence not have any emotions/feelings any more. I want to lose my identity for my lover and my love!"

Beautiful !!!

The same is the case with Jagjit Singh Ghazal's. One favourite ghazal of mine is:

" Pyaar ka pehla khat likhne mei waqt toh lagta hai
Naye parinde ko udne mei waqt toh lagta hai
Pyaar ka pehla khat likhne mei waqt toh lagta hai..

Jism ki baat nahi thi unke dil tak jaana tha
Lambi doori tey karne mei waqt toh lagta hai.."

Waah kya baat hai...Jagjitji tusi toh chaa gaye ho

and not forgetting Elvis bhai

"Wise men say only fools rush in
But I cant help falling in love with you
Shall I say or
Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you"

There are so many songs which have had an impact on me..who can forget the songs of
  • Maine pyaar kiya..."Aate jaate " and " Aaja shaam hone aayi"
  • Sadma.. "surmayi akhiyon se " and " ay zindagi gale laga le"
  • and yes DDLJ .." Na jaane mere dil ko kya ho gaya" (one friend toh nearly killed me .."You dont like DDLJ songs !!!..how can u not have that in your list.." ..chill !!!! I included it now..;) )
  • Dil to pagal hai " chand ne kuch kaha" ,"bholi si soorat " ,"dil toh pagal hai "
  • Dil se " aye ajnabi "
  • RDB " tu bin bataye "
  • Taal " humko chodke jis raste wo jaate hain "
  • Euphoria " Tum " , " maayari " , " yaar meri dhadkan "
  • Gambler " Chudi nahi ye mera dil hai " (I luv it ...when Devanand shakes his head and says " nanana aise nahi dheere dheere chupke chupke daalo in mei haath" ...hoowww cute...;))
  • RHTDM : All songs.." Dil ko tum se pyaar hua" , " hehehe bolo bolo "..in this song favourite line is .."never do this to me don't ever do this to me babbyyyyyyy..."..;)
  • Dhadkan "tum dil ki dhadkan mei"
  • Fuzon " Mora sayyia mose bole na" and "aankhon ke saagar"
  • Gori teri aankhein kahe
  • Hazaron khwahishe aaisi " Baawra mann dekhne chala ek sapna"
  • Yaadon ki baraat .."Chand Mera dil" ," Ye ladka haii alla ".."mil gaya "
  • Sun saiba sun ( dont know the name of that movie ..but I luvv the song)
  • Karz (the coolest part about this movie and its song's are that every time Rishi kapoor comes on stage with his guitar in his silver suite and silver cap ..and says "kabhi kisi se pyaar kiya " ..you just fall off the chair and scream "kiya "...my favorite song is "meri umar ke nojawaanon " and that guitar waala hit music )
and last but not the least " pal pal dil ke paas"..it is such a romantic song ..I just go into another world ...waah kisne socha itna pyaara gaana..hum toh bas aapke fan hain jee..:))))

There are many more songs which at the moment I just cant remember...You tell me if I am missing any song which is your favourite..may be it is mine toooo..:))

Hey thats a nice collection
teri choice bohot si milti hai re muzse.
Those r all time best songs
really n what old ppl say that new songs hav no meanings is not always true. aur new lyricists hav also given some beautiful songs.

muuah! this is a fantastic collection... great lyrics! i am happy to find some of my faves in there, too! jagjit singh, ddlj, rhtdm, dtph, and yeah, tu bin bataaye was a great song. nice choice, dimple.

to be honest, it is easy to judge someone's choices, but it is extremely difficult to sit down and write one's choices... i am sure i'd forget half my faves if i sat down to write them, and remember wat a fool i am when come across the beautiful songs at places like this one!

hopped here from Saurabh's blog. nice list there, u just accomplished the near impossible task of narrowing down on favourites :).. i cant do it at all..

heard this amazing piece of info abt Dard-e-dil from 'Karz'.. wd u believe it, the song was written to be a ghazal, n for some reason changed to the funky tune that we hear it as .. blew me off when i heard abt this :))

Sun Saiba Sun is from Ram Teri Ganga Maili i think ... the flick with the actress Mandakini. i like that song too, cute one :p

Had thought of listing down my favorites once like these....But couldnt do it......

Regarding the meanings of words, i still believe old songs had much more deeper meaning than their comtemporary counterparts......

Just to add some more in the list ;
"Tum itna kyun muskura rahi ho - Jagjit Singh"
"Ek ajnabee hasina se you mulaqat ho gayi"
"Thoda hai thode ki zaroorat hai Title song"
"Kabhi Kabhi Mere dil mein ye khayaal aata hai"
"Khoya khoya chand "
"Mera rangde basanti chola"
"E malik tere bande hum"

In the new ones;
"Hoshwalon ko khabar kya"
"Pehla nasha"
"Ye tara woh tara - Swades"
"Mitwa - Lagaan"
"Ye jo desh hai tera- swades"
"Bande mein tha dum - LRM"

Ooops...if i continue like this...the list would go on and on....That gives me an idea i should also start writing blogs....
;-)

Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?

Can someone help me find it?

Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.

Thanks
