  1. Kaha gaye woh aadmi log jo Piano bajathethe aur gentle smiles spread karthe the?

    wonderful lyrics…

  2. Jyo : I don’t wish to be rude or ignite a flame war, but can’t resist suggesting that the feminists murdered him. Now only alphas and omegas remain.

  3. Beatiful lyrics… and a beautiful feeling…

    Chalo ek baar phir say ajnabi bun ja’ain hum dono,
    Na main tum say koi umeed rakhoon dil nawazi kee,

    Na tum meri taraf daikho ghalat andaaz nazron say,
    Na meray dil kee dharkan larkara’ay meri baathon say,

    My fave lines…

  4. Ta’aruff rog ho ja’ay tau usska bhoolna behtar,

    Ta’alluq bojhe bun ja’ay tau usska torna acha.
    Woh afsaana jissay anjaam tak lana na ho mumkin,

    Ussay ek khoobsoorat mor day kar chorna acha.

    Man, what a nice concept.. I cant believe that people so long back had such progressive thoughts! Great lyrics, hain na?

  5. Ah, Rohit. You are such a sentimental sop! This song is from my youth! Good taste.

    That’s a beauty!
    I am walking to the Laughing Academy

    @froginthewall
    you talk like a Man. One of your species failed to stir in the darkness for long, n you with no remorse blame the species you rest with. am not sure of the Alpha, Beta, Gamma versions of men…
    almost all men look n talk the same, with the same hidden agendas

    a woman with Heidi Klum’s (whose legs are insured for a few millions) legs, Gisele Bundchen’s business figure+skills, Paris/Simpson’s chicken brains….

  7. Jyo – I don’t understand what you said. What is “stirring in the darkness” and what is “resting with a species”?

  8. froginthewall

    One of your species {representative of aadmi log jo Piano bajathethe) failed to “stir in the darkness for long” (took the last breath n vanished silently)
    …………blame the species you rest with (WOMEN)….

    women need not be the sole reason behind the mysterious disappearance of the most admirable n elegant sub-segment of Men….then emerging new sub-segments of Men (like rowdies, loud n boisterous/morhtful men, manipulative men who have this inability to emote or feel) could be the reason too

    R – Thank you for the space

  9. Thanks for the explanation. And Rohit – “thanks for the space”, as is ( hopefully ) understood. And I trust you feel free to delete if… etc.

    I didn’t “blame”. I am not a big fan of “emoting and feeling” byplaying a piano and smiling. When men got better “stuff ” such as Heidi Klum, they went for it.

    But I thought that kind of mush would “naturally” have market among women. And that feminists are averse to such “gentleman-type” business.

    I hardly know about Hindustani music, so I will give a parallel involving south Indian classical ( carnatic ) music. Old film songs were very often semi-classical melodies, AFAIK composers like pApanAsam-sivan and muttayyah bhAgavatar have composed some old tamizh film music. That thing went out of market when your “dhinchak” routines came. It seemed like carnatic music was losing popularity and might die. But it didn’t – though it appeared near dead in the 80’s the sabha-market resurrected it to a large extent : because it had demand among a certain segment of the population, the market evolved to cater to it.

    Similarly my point is that all those magnanimous, golden-hearted women endowed with all that amazing ability to feel or emote constitute a strong market segment that could support piano-movies. They didn’t. Why?
