rudali

-
i am listening to the song "dil huun huun karen" from the movie...there is a sense of longing , incompleteness in this song...the echo and silence is so inherent in this song..i dont know if it is a gulzar trait..he always has this sense of incompleteness and behind the veil feeling to his songs..

rudali is about 'rudali' a low caste woman...her life as barren to the desert she belongs to..
works on different levels..talks about the indian caste syastem, talks about being born as woman..exploitation..giving in to the tempatations and fancies of a man...constant questioning of the feminism that you define and hold close..(more on this later)

it is adapted form a bengali novel by Mahasweta Devi...and directed by Kalpna Lajmi..does it take a woman to show the feelings of woman..i do wonder..does a man ever understand the silence or the voice of a woman?

i don't know

somehow i am always drawn to silence because there is something it says...lot more that what words could..doesnt some music always leave you silent?



dil huun huun kare,
ghabraye
ghan dham dham kare,
garajaye
ek boond kabhi paani ki more ankhiyon se barasaye
teri jholi daaru,
sab sukhi paat jo aaye
tera chhua lage,
meri sukhi daal hariyaae
dil huun huun kare,
ghabraye
jis tan ko chhuua tuune
us tan ko chhupaauun
jis man ko laage nainaa,
vo kisko dikhaauun
o mori chandramaa,
teri chaandani ang jalaaye
uunchi tori ataarii,
main ne pankh liye katavaae
dil huun huun kare,
ghabaraae

today..was the judgment day.. and the verdict is out.. ha..i laughed like it dint hurt.. i loved like it dint hurt.. yet there were fingers pointing at me.. i have a screwed up life.. thanks and now don't be a part of it..i read it somewhere - life is not about getting somewhere.. its about what all you give up while on your way there.. so when u do go.. do look back once.. and to all the people's who space i did trespass - sorry.. no offences meant.. peace.. smiles all along..a lesson i learnt is no one is indispensable.. we all are worth giving up.. if not today, may be tomorrow or day after.. i fought otherwise..i felt people are not tings.. they are not dispensable.. so i chose to like people despite the pain many of them gave me.. despite forgetting and moving on. is till hoped for the best for the most.. and they obliterated my memories only..no more dwelling on things gone by.. of deeds.. of pain;-) dance while the music still goes on..

When I born, I Black, When I grow up, I Black, When I go in Sun, I Black, When I scared, I Black, When I sick, I Black And when I die, I still black. And you White fellow, When you born, you Pink When you grow up, you White, When you go in Sun, you Red, When you cold, you Blue When you scared, you Yellow When you sick, you Green And when you die, you Gray And still you calling me colored? well, i don't entirely agree with the thought. it can still be forgiven cos i believe a child has written it. i don't think an answer to discrimination can ever be retort and finding flaws in another. an eye for an eye makes the world blind and it is true was having a discussion the other day with Vicky. we had gone for a musical.there was a group of black people who were performing. incidentally, most of musicians, performers are all black people..and they are so good on the stage..i mean they are born entertainers...yet often we look at them with suspicion..with mistrust..they are one amongs...

i have learned

this a new thing i want to start..not original though..so all of you who do read can add stuff in the comments section and i'll update it.. i have learned, that sometimes you have to smile through the most difficult situations of life. i have learned, that more often than not when relationships end a lot of bitterness remains. i have learned it is difficult to forgive, to let go of your beliefs and expectations! i have learned everyone needs a bit of holding form time to time. i have learned disappointment hurts the hardest. i have learned i can never type have correctly, it always is ahve and then i have to go back to correcting it. i have learned if you wait enough, good things happen. i have learned P is a good person and a dear friend and i should forgive both of us. i have learned that it's okay to let go.
