When I see a picture of the Statue of Liberty, I’m reminded of its creator, Brother Batholdi, of such a magnanimous structure that delivers a warm feeling of peace and brotherhood(serves exactly the purpose of its being built).
What crosses my mind when I see a picture of the Twin Towers collapsing in the background and a heavenly smile of satisfaction on Osama’s face, I cannot frame into a proper sentence but the words that pile up are probably, devilish.evil.sinister.!must stop right away.
What is the basic difference between the ideologies of the’honest and the dead Manjunath’ and the’corrupt and the living Laloo Prasad’?
I have some doubts regarding this.
Trying to come out of the shadows of doubts, I discovered that the thinline between the words mother and mom might have made the huge difference somewhere.
Going by the meaning of mother, she is a woman who has begotten or has given birth to a child, and mom is a relative term meaning a lady whom a child relates to all its thoughts, emotions, illusions, dreams.
Somebody said it rightly, give me good mothers and I shall give you a good nation, but what matters most is how many of the mothers accept this fact and breed the notion into the minds of their sons and daughters that:
*A human
first belongs to humankind.nation.committee.family.and lastly to himself**.
I hope somebody pays heed to whats written above, cuz if one analyses practically[though it’ll take some time], the world will become a much better place to live in without any differences, complexities, racism, etc etc after all today’s children are the citizens of tomorrow, they will either make or break the nation.the future lies in the hands of the mothers of the present because charity begins at home.
Maa tujhe salaam-A.R.Rehman
The first word that a child says when it learns to speak isMAA.Thats because of the sense of security assured someone will always be there to hold when we fall.Why do you think our nation is called Motherland?The first and the foremost duty that all must perform is towards one’s nation and mom.This song sung by A.R.Rehman serves the best in its lyrics, music and the singing as well, to be in its place here.
’yahan wahan sara jahan dekh liya
kahi bhi tere jaisa koi nahin hai
assi nahi sou din ghuma hai
nahi kahin tere jaisa koi nahi kahi bhi
main gaya jahan bhi
bas teri yaad thi
jo mere saath thi
mujhko tadpati rulati
sabse pyari teri surat
pyaar hai bas tera pyar hi
maa tujhe salaam
o maa tujhe salaam.*’
Yashoda ka nandlala [Sanjog]-Lata Mangeshkar
To wake with the essence of mother’s love,
To be held by the tender hands when toppled down while learning to walk,
To be fed with stories in the background and mom running around,
To be put to sleep with lorries.zuzuzuuuu.
’Yashoda ka nandlala
brij ka ujala hai
mere laal se to sara jag jhilmilaye
raat thandi thandi hawa
gake sulaye
bhor gulabi palke
choomke jagaye.’
Aww.I wish I had never grown up!
Chanda hai tu [Aradhana]-Lata Mangeshkar
This song is specially for the naughty chimps who have gone astray.Its hightime that we wake up and substitute the tears in her eyes with a life-long smile across her face.Don’t forget that moms are the most caring and loving acquaintance that our life may ever have.Don’t let the hopes and dreams that she has of us, be shattered for the sake of the temporary pleasures that may turn out to be addictions later on and ruin our lives.hhmm.what I mean to say is DON’T DO NARCOTICS.The lyrics will speak the rest of it.
’chanda hai tu
mera suraj hia tu
o mere ankhon ka tara hai tu
jeeti hun main bas tujhe dekheke
is toote dil ka sahara hai tu
.tu khele khel kai
mera khilona hai tu
jisse banti har asha meri
.yuhi kabhi hogi shaadi teri
dulha banega
kunwara hai tu
.purwayi ban mein ude
panchhi chaman mein ude
ram kare kabhi hoke bada
tum banke badal gagan mein ude
jo bhi tujhe dekhe wo ye kahe
kis maa ka aisa dulara hai tu.’
Mama I love you-Spice Girls
Sometimes through the course of life, we may face various manifestations of confusion, dilemma, perplexity etc that may lead us to the path of destruction in the form of depression and annoyance.Its in this phase of life we need a friend who would hear all our doubts, be patient till we find answers to the doubts, encourage us when we are feeling low and bring us out of the blues.In the present stage of the world, it so happens that we tend to forget to let our parents know how much we love them and that is where the gap crops up.what we call generation gap.Well, views and ideas might change with time but not the emotions.If ego is the barrier, then what I feel is, it must be shattered right away.
’She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I should’nt be
Every other day I crossed the line I didn’t mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
Back then I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you.Mama I care
Mama I love you . Mama my friend. You’re my friend
I didn’t want to hear it then but I’m not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility.’
Luka Chhuppi [Rang de basanti]-Lata Mangeshkar & A.R.Rehman
This is a song that gets me nostalgic each time I listen to specially the last but few lines sung by Rehman and not to forget the beginning as well.The song reveals the fact that how worried moms get when we are out of their sight, on our mischievous expeditons, with their eyes fixed at the doorsteps waiting for our return.
’lukka chhupi bahot hui
samne aajana
kahan kahan dhoonda tujhe
thak gayi hai ab teri maa
aja sanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
dhundla gayi dekh meri nazar
aajana.
kya bataun maa kahan hun main
yahan udne ko mere khula aasman hai
tere kisson jaisa bhola salona jahan hai yahan sapnon wala
meri patang ho befikar ud rahi hai maa
dor koi loote nahi beech se kaate na
teri raha take akhiyan
jane kaisa kaisa hoe jiya
dheere dheere angan utre andhera
tera deep kahan
dhalke suraj kare ishara chanda tu hai kahan
mere chanda tu hai kahan
kaise tujhko dikhaun yahan hai kya
mere jharne se paani maa todke piya hai
.
chhyaya liye bhali dhoop yahan hai
naya naya sa hai roop yahan
yahan sab kuch hai maa fir bhi lage bin tere mujhko akela.*’
Mai ni mai [HAHK]-Lata Mangeshkar
Haha.don’t take me otherwise.I had to include this song in the list cuz of one of my friend’s (acoustic)sincere request and the reason behind this is probably that he is too desperate to tie the knot and since the gender discrimination comes in the song, so he suggested me to let the world know that he has become jogan and dulara.If I show the slightest of inclinations towards marriage and stuff, the very next moment I’ll find my mom singing’babul ki duayen leti jaa.
’mai ni mai
munder pe teri
bol raha hai kaga
jogan ho gayi
teri dulari
man jogi sang laga
chal mahiya.’
GOSH! I had to listen to ’I’m a rebel.apni to pathshaala’ around 5 times after listening to this song, just to maintain the balance in my life.
Take Care.
