After all, is it true passion if you survive the experience? Is there any better word than “qayamat”, meaning the end of days, to express heartbreak? Exhibit A: Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi (Mr X in Bombay, 1964), written by Anand Bakshi. 06-MERE MEHBOOB QAYAMAT HOGI CD MISC-20241006 TRACK#06 4:32 MR X IN BOMBAY-1964; KISHORE KUMAR; LAXMIKANT-PYARELAL; ANAND BAKSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIzCBU0_LyY If “qayamat” is a mouthful, perhaps “fanaa” says it better? The Urdu word for the obliteration of the self suits the sentiment expressed in Sau Baar Janam Lenge, Sau Baar Fanaa Honge (Ustaadon Ke Ustaad, 1963). Lyricist Asad Bhopali writes, “I will be born a hundred times, I will be extinguished a hundred times”. In 2006, the emotional state inspired a movie about deadly love – the Aamir Khan-Kajol starrer Fanaa and its soundtrack’s best tune. 07-MERE HAATH MEIN TERA HAATH HO CD MISC-20241006 TRACK#07 4:43 FANAA-2006; SONU NIGAM, SUNIDHI CHAUHAN, AAMIR KHAN, KAJOL; JATIN-LALIT; PRASOON JOSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtz5mpvgAM0 Romance in Bollywood has its own uniqueness that has seen a profound place in our lives. Our love life is very much influenced by Bollywood romance. From great romantic scenes to songs, there is a lot that the movies have to give to every lover out there. One thing that has always made it to romance in movies is Moon. There is nothing more romantic and poetic than a full moon on a starry night. Our lyricists have always been attracted to Chand, Chandrama, Chanda, Chandaniya etc as something that best describes thy love, shows hope or something that states the beauty of their other half. Talk about songs describing and finding love in things, and B-wood always excels in it. Moon has, by default found its place and eventually made it to our playlist. Webring a couple of Bollywood songs about the moon that we all love. Take a listen at these Bollywood songs about the moon: 08-CHAND SIFARISH CD MISC-20241006 TRACK#08 4:36 FANAA-2006; SHAAN, KAILASH KHER; JATIN-LALIT; PRASOON JOSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWEOx7TSM6I 09-CHAND CHHUPA BADAL MEIN CD MISC-20221009 TRACK#09 5:55 HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM-1999; UDIT NARAYAN, ALKA YAGNIK; ISMAIL DARBAR; MEHBOOB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6UaCBEV6o 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 1:58 BACKGROUND: GARBA INSTRUMENTAL NON-STOP DANDIYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAhacX26Zuw ---------------------------------------------------------- अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “We do not care of what we have, but we cry when it is lost.” -Russian proverb “हमारे पास जो है हम उसकी परवाह नहीं करते, लेकिन जब उसे खो देते हैं तो शोक मनाते हैं।” -रूसी कहावत ---------------------------------------------------------- हमारा आपके साथ आज यहीं तक का सफर था. तो चलिए आपसे अब हम विदा लेते है. अगली मुलाकात तक खुश रहिये, स्वस्थ रहिये और हाँ An Indian Morning पर हमसे मिलते रहिये. हंसते रहिये, क्योंकि हंसना निशुल्क है और एक सुलभ दवा है। Well, that's all the time we have with you today!
