Frozen Thoughts

The “Frozen Thoughts” section will contain all the thoughts which I have taken from the book “Unposted Letter” by T.T. Rangarajan. He is also the editor of the magazine “Frozen Thoughts”. AWESOME book and magazine. And now, of course, they are my thoughts as well. So as per the suggestion of the author, it’s my pleasure to share these thoughts, especially for those who do not have access to the book/magazine.

“Success is in the big things.
Happiness is in the small things.
Meditation is in nothing.
God is in everything.
That’s life.”

For more such posts, keep checking my blog for “Frozen thoughts” Category.

 

Shaan.. at Riviera’10

Shaan performing at Riviera'10, VIT University.

I have been watching Shaan for around 9 years on T.V. , as an host of the music show “SA RE GA MA PA..” and “Voice of India”, and of course, listening to the songs sung by him. He is a wonderful singer, fantastic anchor, and a good human being (I am pretty sure about it ). And last night he was here, in VIT, singing his best of tracks. God. He was awesome as usual. And seeing him performing live was like a dream come true.

The whole atmosphere was entirely musical, with a one-day-old full moon, shining just above the stage. Everybody was following his rhythm and was lost in the beats. It was so good seeing everyone in such a form, resonating automatically with one another. AWESOME.

By the end of the show, though I was tired, but I was smiling. And not to my surprise, almost everyone was smiling. He sang several number of songs, but the most awaited and best one was “Tanha Dil…” (I almost had tears in my eyes ). Surely, it reminds us of our friends with whom we have lost contacts, or who are not with us due to any reason. It’s an awesome track.

I would love to share the lyrics.

“Aankhon mein sapne liye
Ghar se hum chal to diye
Jaane yeh raahein ab le jaayengi kahan
Mitti ki khushboo aaye
Palkon pe aansu laaye
Palkon pe reh jaayega yaadon ke jahan
Manzil nayi hai anjaana hai kaarvaan
Chalna akele hai yahan
Tanha dil, tanha safar
Dhoonde tujhe phir kyun nazar
Tanha dil
Dilkash nazaarein dekhe
Jhilmil sitaarein dekhe
Aankhon mein phir bhi tera chehra hai jawaan
Kitni barsaatein aayi, kitni saugaatein laayi
Kaanon mein phir bhi goonje teri hi sada
Vaade kiye the apna hoga aashiyaan
Vaadon ka jaane hoga kya
Tanha dil, tanha safar
Dhoonde tujhe phir kyun nazar
Tanha dil
Tanha dil…

(Smile!)
