Yeh Mujhe Kya Ho Gaya

Its not that some love has hit me. Its not that memories of some old crush are tickling me again. Its not that I met/saw someone pleasant, hell, I haven't been out of my room for days now. Its just that I thought about this song. Its just that I thought of posting on this blog.

Baadalon Se Kaat Kaatke,
Kaagazon Pe Naam Jodna
Yeh Mujhe Kya Ho Gaya?

Doriyon Se Baandh Baandh Ke
Raat Bhar Chand Todna
Yeh Mujhe Kya Ho Gaya?

Ek Baar Tumko Jab Baraste Paaniyon Ke Paar Dekha Thha
Yoon Laga Thha Jaise
Gungunaata Ek Abshaar Dekha Thha
Tabse Meri Neend Mein Barasti Rehti Hai
Bolti Bahut Ho Aur Hasti Rehti Ho
Jo Tujhe Jaanta Na Ho Us-Se Tera Naam Poochna
Yeh Mujhe Kya Ho Gaya?

Dekho Yoon Khule Badan
Gulabi Sahilon Pe Aaya Na Karo
Tum Namak Bhare Samundaron Mein Yoon
Is Tarah Nahaya Na Karo
Sara Din Chandni Si Chhaayi Rehti Hai
Aur Gulabi Dhoop Baukhlai Rehti Hai
Jaamno Ki Naram Daal Pe Naakhoon Se Naam Khodna
Yeh Mujhe Kya Ho Gaya?

This song is from the movie Satya, can listen to it here at Raaga.com. This isn't the best love/longing song ever. On the contrary, its a fairly "lower middle class" composition, but I love it. Of course, its fairly "lower middle class" to write X loves Y, with an unevenly drawn heart shape, having an arrow piercing across it, on the bark of a jamun tree!

But inspite of it all, this song makes me feel happy. So does looking at Parizad Kolah!

Yeh mujhe kya ho gaya!

I guess Parizad lives somewhere in Colaba. Am I right?

You are right buddy, she lives in Cusrow Baug, Colaba, and thats like 5 min walking from B-1, Sangam Bhavan!

In fact, I have been using this school boy story of Parizad being my neighbour to be able to look at the gorgeous one on TV, whenever she appears, even when my parents are around. "Look ma, my neighbour!"
