Saturday, 25th June 5.30 am I open the window and see a guy with a guitar on marine drive. Curiosity got the better of me and I had a quick bath (had plans to visit temples) and went down for a walk.
I just sent and sat next to the guitarist pretending of meditating with my eyes closed. The waves crashing on the rocks has their own tune. I don't how but he ended up picking some of my favorite songs. Almost every song was on my download Playlist. He added his own spin but tried a different tempo and Antara of the song.The first one was 'Allah ke bande' which is probably one the most iconic song shot on the Bombay Sea shore, it make me humm with him.
Then he went on to 'Phil le aaya dil' and started at the exact paragraph I love 😇
Karte hain hum aaj qabool kya keeje
Ho gayi thi jo humse bhool kya keeje
Dil keh raha use mayassar kar bhi aao
Wo jo dabi si aas baaki hai
Wo jo dabi si aanch baaki hai
Wo jo dabi si aanch baaki hai
Wo jo dabi si... aanch baaki hai
The same happend with the next one, 'tum etna jo muskura rahi ho'
Aankhon Mein Nami, Hansi Labon Par
Kya Haal Hai Kya Dikha Rahe Ho
Ban Jayenge Zehar Peete Peete
Yeh Ashq Jo Piye Ja Rahe Ho
Jin Zakhmon Ko Waqt Bhar Chala Hai
Tum Kyon Unhe Chhedhe Ja Rahe Ho
Rekhaon Ka Khel Hai Muqaddar
Rekhaon Se Maat Kha Rahe Ho
Tum Itna Jo...
Then below, I was awestruck by his choice.
Aaj Phir Dil Mein, Ik Tammanna Ki
Aaj Phir Dil Mein, Ik Tammanna Ki
Aaj Phir Dil Ko Humne Samjhaaya
Aaj Phir Dil Humne Samjhaaya
Zindagi Dhoop, Tum Ghana Saaya
Tumko Dekha To Yeh Khayal Aaya
Tum Chale Jaaoge To Sochenge
Tum Chale Jaaoge To Sochenge
Humne Kya Khoya, Humne Kya Paaya
Humne Kya Khoya, Humne Kya Paaya
Zindagi Dhoop, Tum Ghana Saaya
Tumko Dekha To Yeh Khayal Aaya
Hum Jisse Gungunaa Nahi Sakte
Hum Jisse Gungunaa Nahi Sakte
Waqt Ne Aisa Geet Kyun Gaaya
Waqt Ne Aisa Geet Kyun Gaaya
Zindagi Dhoop, Tum Ghana Saaya
Tumko Dekha To Yeh Khayal Aaya
Tumko Dekha To Yeh Khayal Aaya
He then went on to some recent ones and when I was just about to leave, he sang 'Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye', the best song from the best movie in Hindi cinema. I just knew it is going to be a great day. Little did I know that the weekend would be the best I have had for quite some time now 😍
It felt unreal, like the world had conspired to make my morning brilliant. I felt light after a long time and was lost in the songs and the waves crashing on the rocks. Probably I have been very lucky, whenever I have felt beaten up, something like this happens to lift me up and keep me going.
I just thanked the Gods and left for the temple at 6.30. Siddhivinayak has a unique feel with the diety in a very open view in a room with 3 big open doors. I could just sit there without being pushed around. Felt blessed for the beautiful Darshan and the same was true with the Mahalakshmi temple.
On the way back, got down at the start of Marine drive and walked by the sea to soak it all in. Overall such a blissful start to the morning.
I just wish everyone gets such moments that make you feel lucky and fill you with hope. Life does push us around and during such times, there are few beautiful days that make it worth fighting for, it is up to us to grab hold of it and enjoy the day. Wishing for many such gorgeous days for everyone 👐
