Kabhi Kabhi

Sometimes we wonder whether we have reached where we wanted to be. Or are we in the right profession; or achieved what we wanted to. Whatever we are doing on a day-to-day basis, whether that’s what we were built for. When I look around and see great achievers like Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore da or Sachin Tendulkar, and admire what they achieved in their lives it seems like they knew why they were brought on this planet. It’s like, at some point God told them – Hey you have to be a World Renowned Actor or that you have to be the Nightingale of India or the greatest Cricket player ever.

Wouldn’t it be nice if God or whoever that creates us (This one’s for the non-believers), tells us at some point in our life what we were really born for. Even if he tells us that one is to lead an aimless life we could tell the world – Hey that’s what God told me. I gotta do nothing and lead an aimless life .. ha ha. Not funny. The matter of the fact is we are all left with determining what we need to do with our lives. Coz if it was certain, life won’t be so exciting.

Speaking of me, as a notorious kid in school I never imagined obtaining a degree in engineering and ending up being an IBM product specialist. I always wanted to be an artist - a painter, an actor or a singer. So here I am again trying to pursue my creative interests while keeping my day job :-)

Don’t worry. This song ‘Kabhi Kabhi’ is not about my aimless thoughts of wondering where this passion will lead me. It’s just another romantic song from my closet. The beginning of the song was composed one year ago and I completed the rest last week. As for the soundtrack, I must say with limited knowledge of music, I am getting a little apt with the instrument. And it is addictive.

So, close your eyes; hold hands with your beloved and enjoy this lovely romantic song.

Here are the lyrics. You can play the song from the Player at the very end of the lyrics or from the Playlist on the right hand side –

[Mukhda]
Kabhi Kabhi Dil Mein Mere, Aa jate ho chupke chupke se
Kabhi Kabhi Dil Mein Mere, Aa jate ho chupke chupke se
Tadpaona dekho, Tarsaona jaana,
Yun khwabon mein aake, Tum mujhko na satana
Varna khata aisi ho jayegi, Humse

[1st antra]
Geeton mein kardun bayan, Jo baaton mein kehna sakun
Ab to suno jaaneman, Tumhe pyar kitna karun
Khoye khoye rehte sanam, Tere khayalon mein har ghadi hum
Khoye khoye rehte sanam, Tere khayalon mein har ghadi hum

Tadpaona dekho, Tarsaona jaana,
Yun khwabon mein aake, Tum mujhko na satana
Varna khata aisi ho jayegi, Humse

[Repeat Mukhda]
