Fanaa

As I see Fanaa on the eve of XMas on television and sway in its intoxicated music , I murmurr...........................

mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa

tere dil mein meri saanson ko jagah mil jaaye
tere ishq mein meri jaan fanaa ho jaaye
jitne paas hain khushbu saans ke
jitne paas hothon ke sargam
jaise saath hain karvat yaad ke
jaise saath baahon ke sangam
jitne paas paas khwaabon ke nazar
utni paas tu rehna hamsafar
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan
tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho

rone de aaj hamko do aankhen sujaane de
baahon mein lene de aur khud ko bheeg jaane de
hain jo seene mein qaid dariya woh choot jaayega
hain itna dard ke tera daaman bheeg jaayega
jitne paas paas dhadkan ke hain raaz
jitne paas bundon ke baadal
jaise ?sahaq? sa chanda ke hain raat
jitne paas nainon ke kaajal
jitne paas paas saagar ke lehar
utne paas tu rehna hamsafar
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan
tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho

adhoori saans thi dhadkan adhoori thi adhooren ham
magar ab chaand poora hain falak pe aur ab pooren hain ham


After wathching this movie for the second time , my soul began to wander in the infinite spaces where the universe appeared like a dream and the body like a narrow prision. The enchanting voice of my beloved entered my heart, for she isn't with me now. This is music, oh friends.

For Life is a chain made up of many diverse links. Sorrow is one golden link between submission to present and the promised hope of the future. Its the dream between slumber and awakening. How does man cope with this?

Man with his understanding can not know what the rain is saying when it falls upon the leaves of the trees or when it taps at the window panes. He cannot know what the breeze is saying to the flowers in the fields. But the heart of the man can feel and grasp the meaning of these sounds that play upon his feelings; soul and nature converse together while man stands speechless and bewildered. Yet has not man wept at the sounds? And are not his tears eloquent understanding? Divine Music !!! Such music makes us ask ourselves the meaning of the mysteries contained in ancient books. When the gentle fingers of the music knock at the door of our feelings, they awaken memories that have long lain hidden in the depths of the past..........and I murmurr..............

mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
...........................................
adhoori saans thi dhadkan adhoori thi adhooren ham
magar ab chaand poora hain falak pe aur ab pooren hain ham


Watch it if you haven't seen it and watch it again if you have already seen it . I promise, the experience would be no less than the act of falling in love again............Flawless piece of work..........and I murmurr...............

.................................................
rone de aaj hamko do aankhen sujaane de
baahon mein lene de aur khud ko bheeg jaane de
hain jo seene mein qaid dariya woh choot jaayega
hain itna dard ke tera daaman bheeg jaayega
.................................................
adhoori saans thi dhadkan adhoori thi adhooren ham
magar ab chaand poora hain falak pe aur ab pooren hain ham
................................................

Towards the end of the movie, Kajol conveys the same message that I had written in my previous note ( Guruji's thoughts on decision making) ......Life is not about choosing between good and bad , Its all about choosing between good and better........

Hope you are enjoying your Xmas today , I wish I could get back to my solitude so frequently that I could write to all of you quite often.
Merry Christmas............................

Merry Christmas

Night had fallen and silence prevailed while life slumbered in the city of bangalore, and the lamps ( read it the designer lights) were extinguished in the scattered houses ( read plush villas and luxurious apartments) amidst the beautiful trees. The moon poured its silver rays upon the silver and glass structures that stood like the giants in the silence of the night.

At midnight the ghosts of the past ages and the spirits of forgotten civilization enter through the window to visit me....I stare at them and they gaze upon me. I talk to them and they answer me smilingly. Then I endeavor to clutch them, but they sift through my fingers and vanish like the mist which rests on the lake. I woke up suddenly to realize if it was Santa(s). And here I am reflecting over the passing by year and jotting down my musings in solitude at the midnight.

Life takes us up and bears us from one place to another; Fate moves us from one point to another. And we caught up between these twain, hear dreadful voices and see only that which stands as hindrance and obstacle in our path. The human heart cries out for help; the human soul implores us for deliverance; but we do not heed their cries, for we neither hear nor understand. But the man who hears and understands we call mad, and flee from him. Thus the night pass, and we live in unawareness; and the days greet us and embrace us. But we live in constant dread of day and night. We trample upon the bread of life, while hunger gnaws at our hearts. How good is Life to Man; yet how far removed is man from life.

As I see on CNBC, Yash Birla and Sri Sri Ravishankar engrossed in dialogues over spiritualism, its interesting to note that Yash Birla is a true icon for Indian youth, verymuch untouched with westernism. He asks Guruji a very intriguing question on decision making , Guruji explains decision is born out of confusion and confusion from choice and choice is never between truth and lie not between good and bad, Its always between bad and worse or good and better. His simplicity has attracted the world and the world is awakening to digest his lessons. And I realize that spiritualism and solitude are entangled with each other. Thats possibly the resolution that I take for coming year....

WISH U AND FAMILIES A JOYFUL XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR................
