Beauty in Pathos - song from the broken Heart

"My heart like a delicate toy is broken
Alas ! Someone has robbed me."

A village damsel's heartthrob has gone away leaving her behind to face the rigid social structure which doesn'to even acknowledge the existence of love .. hence oblivious of joy or agony that accompanies the person.

Note that she's visiting all those favorite spots that she once had with her beloved.. missing him immensely..

Never break a woman's heart for it makes the universe shed tears ...

Your melody and my poetry - Tere Sur Aur Mere Geet

I was looking for this song for a long time. How deeply it had touched me as a boy of 10 ! The story ends in a great tragedy .. I was devastated for days..

Feather Romance

With these light romantic songs created around the late 60s, Indian culture started showing signs of lightness (away from being sensitive or emotional) - a charateristic adopted from the modern west assimilated in the life-styles of urban population of Indian cities and towns. The lyrics of the song has a classic/traditional tone but the characters are dressed in western or mixed outfits.. . quite a contrast !! Think the surrounding is in Kashmir. I love the garden, the sprawling lake and the mountain at the background.. Nature quietly witnesses all human activities unfolding on her lap ..

Inspiring Song on Global Warming

Madonna did a great job !

Live Earth 07.07.07

SOS at http://liveearth.org/

SOS (Saving Our Selves) from Global Warming and indisputable climatic changes around the world - like my home town of Ranchi, India ... a naturally air-conditioned place for all time is now burning hot like any other place. The solutions to this issue of prophetic magnitude lies in our own life .. in our own habits.

I'm determined to change the light bulbs in my home for eco-friendly bulbs and switch off lights when I don't need them. That'll save significant dollars I need for the Mangorita on a warm Florida beach..

Ex-lover's compassion

We find the depth and concern portrayed in this song largely lacking in modern relations. It's hidden as a potential in us nevertheless ..
A bewildered ex-lover sings this song for his recently widowed beloved who's spending sleepless nights of sorrow:
Ram kare aisa ho jaaye ...
"Wish the gods make this miracle happen
That my sleep gets into your sleepless eyes
As I keep awake, you sleep deep."Love singing this song. But it needs a heart to sing ... and a person to sing for .. :-) . And look at the magical setting and cinematography of this movie.. such powerful frames..

Except your eyes, there's nothing else - "Teri Aankhon Ke Siwa"

My favorite composer Madan Mohan. I consider him most gifted of all. Perfect lyrics too ..
