We are surrounded with music. The beating of
our hearts, the flowing blood in our veins, our voices, the hushing trees,
gushing rivers, cool breeze, blaring horns… they all come together to form a
unique sound called music.
Like my music teacher used to say, God gave
us heartbeats for He wanted us to listen to this music every time as we
continued living. But somewhere in between we forget the music of our
heartbeats as it drowns amidst the logic of our minds, the hullaballoo of our
senses and most importantly the chattering of ‘other noises’ around us. At such times the only thing that brings back
music for us is the lovely songs that we keep listening to. We have a huge
variety of music available for us – country, hip hop, instrumental, jazz,
classical, Sufi, fusion etc but their beauty remains the same.
I am die hard music lover and listen to it in
various languages for I believe music has the magic which transcends all the
language barriers. Needless to say every person is my life is a song for me.
The moment I meet someone and interact for a while a song starts playing in my
mind. And that defines that person for me permanently.
The first every song that defined love,
romance and that someone special for me was Mere
Khwabo main jo aaye from DDLJ. For the 12 year old me, that was the
beginning of a lifelong romance with songs. It implied the cliché belief “Someone somewhere is made for you…”
I entered the teens and had my first crush
ever- He was “Na woh inkaaar karta hai no
who ikraar karta hai…” for me. I
went on to fall in love so many times in life, each time a new song depicted
that person and it still continues to do that. So I have someone who stands for
Agar Tum mil jao, Khuda Jane, Pee Loon,
Ishq wala love and recently Yaaram
too.
I also have songs for friends, frenemies,
family members, loved ones, agony aunts and not to forget people whom I love to
hate. Some of them are Jaane kyun, Khud
ko kya samajhta hai, taiyab ali pyar ka dushman hai hai… And ofcourse then
there are some which I feel define me in the most perfect manner and hence are
very close to my heart for obvious reasons. Like Khushi and Filhaal.
I have made a huge list of songs which I
would want a special someone to sing for me. And all these are neatly scribbled
in a beautiful diary. I love writing down songs for some weird reason. I find
them to be very poetic and when I re-read the lyrics I somehow find them
talking to me, telling me some unheard things. And ofcourse I have also penned
down female versions of songs I have loved a lot in male versions myself
sheerly for the beauty it had in its verses.
Every time I have to think about a particular
incident or a person I just to play that song, close my eyes and sit back as my
mind drifts away to the those times. I still blush many times as I listen to
these songs as the magic in them is still intact. The person and the time might
have gone forever but the memories remain wrapped in those words forever. But
then it is rightly said:
