प्रात:काल तुम्हारी पोस्ट पढ़ी है और उत्तिष्ठ अमृतस्य पुत्रा:ध्यान में आया है। स्तब्ध कर दिए हो!संतोष हुआ है कि कुछ है जो कहीं बचा हुआ है।
ध्यान 4 नवम्बर पर गया है। मन भावुक हो चला है। तुम्हें यूँ भावुक होना पसन्द नहीं आएगा। क्या करूँ? मन में बहुत कुछ घुमड़ने लगता है। ...देखो न! कहीं से उड़ता सा खयाल आया है - तुम्हें पढ़ना ही छोड़ दूँ।
अब वैसा तो नहीं कर सकता। आज अब और कोई पोस्ट नहीं पढ़ूँगा।

Give Me Freedom, Give Me Fire

वर्ल्ड कप के दौरान सुनता रहा। हिन्दी अनुवाद भी किया - http://kavita-vihangam.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-post_11.html। उसके बाद भी सुनता रहा हूँ।
महँगाई डायन को पर्दे पर देखना और मल्टीप्लेक्स में बगल में बैठे प्रेमी युगल की बेहूदी बकवास के साथ खी खी खी - दोनों नहीं भूलते। लगता है कि दो लोक साथ साथ रहते हुए भी अजनबी रहने को ही बने हैं।
उस समय भोजपुरी कहावत ध्यान में आई थी - जान जाए चिरई के लइका के खेलौना।

इस विचित्र दशा को क्या कहा जाये?

songs....moved MARTIN LUTHER KING to fight for a just cause at lincoln's square, eventually becoming the second gandhi....the real gandhi.....moved the nation and stiched togeter the people in the silken tune of 'vaishnav vachan'.....our country reverberated on hearing' chodo kal kii batein', was shaken through 'mere desh kii dhartii'.....wats more ...nehru broke down on hearing'aye mere watan k logo'....and still a chill goes down our spine on hearing 'sarfaroshi ki tamanna ..or watching abida parween dancing and singing to the tune of 'lal meri pat....and then 'Munni badnaam hui','just chill chill just chill...' seems to define a confused lot, somewhere between a soring sensex and a failed commonwealth...between the ambanis and the NREGAians...
a commendable work..keep writing....

पता नही कब हिमालय से कोई नई गंगा निकलेगी . तब तक डायन झंडू बाम ही लगवायेगी .

Definitely Kartikeya ji, over the years, the quality of lyric writing has deteriorated a lot but most people don’t know because music today is more about beats and melody than about the words.
When you hear “Jaane who kaise log they jinke pyaar ko pyaar mila, Humne to jab kaliya maangi, kaaton ka haar mila” Or “Milo na tum to hum ghabraye, Milo to aankh churaye..Humein kya ho gaya hai” you know for sure that the poets who wrote these had fallen in love at some point in their lives. Sahir Ludhianvi must have been a loner to write the first couplet while Kaifi Azmi must have felt that nervousness, that anxiety when in love, to write those immortal lines. While Sahir Ludhianvi craves love and acceptance, Kaifi azmi describes the feeling, which one could feel, when one has the first crush.
Even then there was an effort to inject Sufism into purportedly romantic songs. Songs apart from being exactly romantic; were often pastoral vignettes of life in general, redolent with nostalgia. Film songs made pre-Independence often exuded a strong nationalistic fervour, but that changed once India attained freedom and cinema became a medium of sheer entertainment.
Shailendra being the best as he knew the medium and he knew poetry wrote Mera joota hai Japani to go with the image of a tramp and invested the song with many layers of meaning. He had the ability to turn a film song into a piece of literature. Sahir Ludhianvi, another great for whom words always came before the tune. Who else but only he could write Pedon ki shaakhon pe khili khili chandni? Totally agree for the contemporary lyricists, Prasoon Joshi uses language very skilfully. His lyrics for Rang de Basanti are a classic case of songs matching the film and its characters perfectly. Another lyricist I'd like to hear more of is Nida Fazli, a wonderful poet and at times Neelesh Mishra, who seems to be trying something meaningful in today’s scenario.
Also I would like to bring to the forum, reasons why our film songs are predominantly about a single emotion—romantic love? Elements like anger, cynicism and social satire are virtually absent...
Commendable writing…
Love n Luck!!

.......और यह मुन्नी बदनाम गीत भी चुराया हुआ है. पूर्वांचल के देहातों में आज से २७-२८ साल पहले "लौंडा बदनाम हुआ नसीबन तेरे लिए" अक्सर भोंपू पर बजता हुआ सुना जा सकता था.
