What do you think? What do you speak?

For years I made assumptions and presumptions about what I expected or thought that somebody would do, based on what they said. This kind of attitude has brought nothing but a lot of unnecessary anxiety and mental agony - when they did something that was not in line with what was expected. They say something, so naturally you expect them to do something that would be be consistent with their words. And - they do something totally different. That's what sets my mind rolling.

I believe that I am a very straight and clear thinking guy. I speak what I actually think. Problem is I assumed other people do the same. Boy!!!!.........I was so wrong. I can't even admire something or give a compliment when i don't think its worth - just for the sake of giving it - because everybody else does it and you're expected to. Sorry but I just can't.

Its only in the last couple of years or so that I've begun to understand and digest the fact that not everybody is so clear thinking and Honest. It bothers me though. I can't get over with it so easily.

I also wonder as to what kind of lives these people live: those whose thought and speech are not in tandem, who don't think clearly. How exactly do they take their decisions? Of-course there are times which demand you think, do consultations before you take your decisions. I am not referring to those situations.

I am referring to very simple situations - like 'The Handwriting is on the wall' type of situations. In such cases how different are the decisions of those people from mine? - that I want to know.

Aa chal ke tujhe....

Aa chal ke tujhe main le ke chaloon ek aise gagan ke tale,

Jahaan gham bhi na ho, aansoon bhi na ho, bus pyaar hi pyaar pale.

Suraj ki pehli kiran se, aasha ka savera jaage,

Chanda ki kiran se dhulkar, ghanghor andhera bhaage.

Kabhi dhoop khile, kabhi chaaon mile, lambi si dagar na khale,

Jahaan gham bhi na ho, aansoon bhi na ho, bus pyaar hi pyaar pale...

Ek aise gahan ke tale...

Jahaan door nazar daudayein, aazaad gagan lehrayein,

jahaan rang-birange panchi, aasha ka sandesa laayein.

Sapno mein pali, hasti ho kali, jahaan shaam suhani dhale,

Jahaan gham bhi na ho, aansoon bhi na ho, bus pyaar hi pyaar pale...

Ek aise gahan ke tale...

Sapno ke aise jahaan mein, jahaan pyaar hi pyaar khila ho,

hum jaake wahaan kho jaayein, shikwa na koi gila ho.

Kahi bear na ho, koi gair na ho, sab milke yoon chalte chale,

Jahaan gham bhi na ho, aansoon bhi na ho, bus pyaar hi pyaar pale...

Ek aise gahan ke tale...

Aa chal ke tujhe main le ke chaloon ek aise gagan ke tale,

Jahaan gham bhi na ho, aansoon bhi na ho, bus pyaar hi pyaar pale.

Ek aise gahan ke tale...

is a very extra-ordinary song created by a very extra-ordinary man. I can keep listening to it all day long. Nothing calms down my mind so much as this song.


Most people know Kishore Kumar as a great singer. But do you know that he was also an accomplished Composer and a lyricist? And this song I believe is his best accomplishment as a  composer and as a lyricist. A beautiful song in very simple words but one that has a profound impact on you and so relevant in today's chaotic world.




This song is also special in another way. Every this about this song is Kishore Kumar. Kishore Kumar penned this song. He composed it and he sung it too. Not only that - he was also the Script writer, Producer, Director, and the lead actor of this movie - 'Door gagan ki chaaon mein'.  I don't think there's any other song in Bollywood that has the distinction of being created in its entirety by one man. Most songs have the lyrics penned by one man, music composed by somebody else and sung by a still third person.

There's one more song : Jhumroo - This song too was penned, composed and sung by Kishore Kumar. But Kishore Kumar wasn't the director of this movie.
