Jaage hain der tak humein, kuch der sonay do,
thori si raat aur hai, subah toh honay do;
Aadhey adhuray khwaab jo, pooray na ho sakey,
ek baar phir se neend mein, woh khwaab boney do.
It is moving. If you think about it, day dreams are one of the most powerful indications we have of being 'different' from the rest of living creatures. They nurture our ambitions, keep us in the game and in the process define who we become.
We are born into a cycle of an 'accepted' form of life and are supposed to adhere to it. And most of us do exactly that. But for the very few, it just isn't enough. And its this feeling that makes familiarity a nuisance and makes routine a curse. And you begin to think, there must be more to life because this just ain't cutting it.
And you set out on a journey which may lead to travels into distant lands, exploration deep inside philosophy and religion or just a plain and simple insight into the reason for existence. Whatever it may eventually be that makes you tick, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you find it.
I first heard these words in the cinema during one of Guru's early shows in Dubai and didn't pay much attention. Heard them again on winamp and didn't think twice about it. But I wasn't really listening.
A.R. Rehman and Gulzar sahab have done an amazing job in the movie. And I don't mean to leave out the singers, specially Chitra who's been on my list since the early days of Roja.
