This blog spot is to share my original music/song compositions. Some of them are finished and most of them are unfinished. I want you to be my audience and am really interested in your inputs.
I believe every person has a musician in them and I am sure we can work together on these songs. Hey may be you have an unfinished song to share. It would be a fun experience !!!
It’s said that Silence Speaks Louder Than Words. However, with the constant chaos and turmoil around us this phrase seems to be fading away. The general trend seems to be that if you want to be heard then try to be as loud as you can.
Most recently I received inputs from some of my dearest blog followers that, apart from uploading the song audios, I should also start exploring song videos. After giving it some thought, I came up with the idea of composing videos with pictures and the song lyrics; me obviously not being a qualified personality to feature in a video:P.
Previously when I had uploaded this song - Har Ghadi Hai Juda, I received some positive comments. Everyone thought that the song had a different feel to it. Now, with the video it might give you a better perspective; A better insight.
I hope you enjoy it and since this is my first attempt towards creating a video please provide me your inputs. If you like the video, don’t forget to follow, like or promote the blog.
Last week was full of mixed emotions for me. While it was the great legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday on Oct 11th and my loving elder brother’s birthday on Oct 12th, it was Kishore Kumar’s 23rd Death Anniversary on Oct 13th. As a tribute to him, I would like to present another one of my compositions for him.
Kishore da was a versatile singer and was also a great composer. It is unfortunate that at the time several maestros type casted him for just singing fun-filled, masti, halla gulla songs. Little did anyone recognize his amazing talent in the arena of singing soft romantic, emotional or rather “Dardbhare” songs; Songs like “Koi Humdum Na Raha”, “Chingari Koi Bhadke” or “Koi Hota Jisko Apna” have left a huge impact on our hearts and souls and will stay there forever.
When I composed this song, the idea was to steer away from the musical style of the last Kishore Kumar song that I had composed – “Karo Thoda Intezaar” and give a new perspective to the audience. It is also slightly inspired by the beautiful song “Aa chalke tujhe main leke chalun” from “Door Gagan Ki Chaon Mein” – again a Kishore da musical masterpiece. And just like all the other times, I wish he was alive and heard this composition, even sung it for me.
Well, the reality is that I still have long ways to go to even have my neighbor consider my songs for singing :) not that I know whether he/she is a good singer or not.
That reminds me; Full credit to my dear wife for the beautiful melody of this song. She was just humming this tune one time and when I heard it fell in love with it. Immediately thought of putting it together and it turned out be a song just for Kishore da. Just like I had said in my previous posts – you never know how a song may come about and sometimes just the first few words or the starting tune could dictate everything else related to the song. And never miss a tune you might be humming or whistling or singing.
Another good news for the blog is that Amitabh actually acknowledged the last post and expressed his “Many Thanks”. Got a screenshot just in case no one believes me ;D. You could also visit my twitter profile for more proof.. lolz. I was spellbound when I saw his reply on twitter. So thanks again to the fans, followers, critics and abusers of this blog … it’s because of you that this blog still survives.
Now, enjoy the song and I am really eager for your comments.
Here are the lyrics. You can play the song from the Player at the very beginning of the post or at the end of the lyrics –
Finally, an opportunity to dedicate a song composition to the greatest legend - Shri Amitabh Bachchan. Today is his 68th Birthday and every year just like millions of his fans I have wanted to present him a gift. But the best I could offer is my love and prayers for his well being. This year I have something special to represent my love for him.
Since the 80’s songs have been composed specifically for Amitji. Songs like Mere Angne Mein, Rang Barse, etc. were a big hit. And recently music composers further experimented with his immense singing talent for movies like Baghban or Babul or even Nishabd. If you listen to them carefully you would realize how much he excels in the singing arena too. Some of these songs also have a touch of Hindustani classical music.
It was therefore a daunting task upon me as I was composing this song to try and be at par. This song is also inspired from the beautiful romantic emotional song “Main Yahan Tu Wahan” from Baghban.
Again, I understand that it may not match his caliber and some of you may also find it offensive. So please accept my apologies and realize that the composition comes from my heart. I have put in a lot of efforts and it is just a token of my love.
The recording is not the best in the world and I have also attempted Amitji’s impersonation for the only reason to present it as I was hearing it from within.
So enjoy the song and I am really eager for your comments. By the way, my elder brother is also a huge Amitabh fan and his birthday is right after Amitji’s on the 12th of October. How lucky. I hope he likes this song too.
Here are the lyrics. You can play the song from the Player at the very end of the lyrics –
[Mukhda]
Mera jeevan, Tujhse bandha Hai
Mera jeevan, Tujhse bandha Hai
Kaise jeeyun main sakhi, Tere bina
Kaise jeeyun main sakhi, Tere bina
Mera jeevan, Tujhse bandha Hai
Mera jeevan, Tujhse bandha Hai
[1st Antra]
Tum bin aise tadpun, Jal bin jaise machali
Tum bin aise tadpun, Jal bin jaise machali
Aaon tum paas mere, yun nan mujhko sataon
Dil ke dhage, Pakke bane hai
Dil ke dhage, Pakke bane hai
Kaise main todun inhe, Aasan nahi hai
Kaise main todun inhe, Aasan nahi hai
Remember the time when we were in our teenage lives, single and always wanting to break free. When we were all in for getting wasted and break all the rules and live a fantasy life. That was the time when we wanted to change the world and cross all the boundaries. Well, that was also the time when we were in constant search of a companion. A companion with whom we would do everything that we’d thought of doing different than what the society dictates. Here’s a tribute to that time.
A song for the times when we were not so mature enough to understand that eventually we would have to get adapted to our surroundings and fall in to the general mould of what a responsible person is supposed to be. The times when we thought everything was possible and that destiny is merely in our hands.
The song also carries the sentiments from the famous Dev Anand & Kishore Da masterpiece – “Yeh dil na hota bechara, Kadam na hote awara, Jo khoobsurat, Koi apna, Humsafar hota”
So enjoy the song.
Eager for your comments.

[Mukhda]
Chal rahe rahon pe, hum akele
Is zameen se pare, hai jaana
Chod ke duniya ke, Sare mele
Chedne dil ka hum, tarana
Lamba Safar, Mushkil to hai
Par saath apne, Khwahish to hai
Milega humsafar kabhi na kabhi
[1st Antra]
Raho mein chalte hi, yuhin mil jaate hai
Kitne anjaan chehre haseen
Koi to hoga phir, Un mein se hi kahin
Apne liye jo hoga sahi
Ab hai kadam, Behke to kya
Hai apna dil, tanha to kya
Ab hai kadam, Behke to kya
Hai apna dil, tanha to kya
