The power of music

December 7, 2015 By: Mehroo1 Comment

Are you among those people who can close your eyes, lean back and get transported to a different world, while an old, deeply cherished memory awakens within you, as you listen to the tunes of a favourite song? If yes then join the gang!  I sit here, all by myself, in a ferry, smiling away at everything and nothing, while I type out this post, listening to “Kaisi hain yeh rut” from the one of my favourite flicks – Dil Chahta Hai.

It’s amazing how powerful music is, how it can work its magic on your mind, your heart and transport you back in time.  A vivid collage of memories, thoughts, wishes float around in front of your eyes, lead you back to the place and time when you probably first heard it play. Makes you laugh, makes you smile or in my case where the smile is now being replaced with silent tears – tears of sadness for people who I cherished and are no longer in this world with me, tears of joy as I am thankful for what I have and for the people who I hold the closest to my heart. I shut my eyes and let myself submerge in this numbing sensation.

Kaisi hain yeh rut ki jisme

Phool banke dil khile 

Ghul rahe hain rang saare 

Ghul rahi hain khushbuye

Chandni jharne ghataye

Geet baarish titliya 

Ham pe ho gaye hai 

Sab meherbaan 

The meaning would be lost in translation. Just listen to the whole song here.

    Yes I am one of those who find meaning of life in music as well. I remember sitting by the sea shore and more recently, by the terrace garden in my India apartment, listening to songs by Gulzar saab and humming to myself. Of course, there are those songs that hit deeper emotions that break my heart. But most of my fav ones are the inspiring lyrics n upbeat ones that give hope and pushes me to reach greater highs. One of them is ‘Rubaru’ from Rang De Basanti…love the songs.
