The relationship with music is just about selflessness

It was present around me all the time in some or the other form, since I took my first breath. Neither love, nor affection could ever be that faithful and consistent as it was - Music ! The first letters I spoke were not spoken but sung by me as they were musical notes and the first sentence that I made was nothing with respect to my family or vocabulary but a song that was too popular then.

I grew up listening and observing music through the era when music was expensive and a little out of reach especially for children. I remember I got my first cassette as my birthday gift from my brother when I was in class 6th and it was such a delightful moment. Collecting cassettes and recording songs from radio to blank cassettes was my favorite hobby. I had built up my own archive of music. Soon the DVD age followed by the personal computer hard drives, pen drives and eventually external hard drives which made music such a mobile entity. At present its as easy as giving something to someone hand to hand with such improved technology. But music makes its own sense to me. It is divine, it is such deeply defined and it still over-whelms me with its existence.

I remember playing songs as per my mood since childhood, changing sides and rewinding songs by physically moving the reels with the help of pencils to forward various advertisements in the end and to quickly reach my favorite song. Music just got created within me that made me a different person altogether. Music for me is the most precious thing. I consider it a higher form than humans as it is faithful, committed and permanent. It doesn't change with relations.. time or mood. 

It was with me when I had my hard times in school or college. Bad grades or fight with family, break ups or tiff with a friend, long hours of crying or long journeys with dear ones, painful ends or delightful beginnings, it was always there like a therapy to heal me, like a back up to be there for me when everyone leaves. It might have changed its ways to reach me, but its affect and touch still reaches my inner core. I love it and I respect it. I keep it with me and I be with it. Its never away, its never apart, its just is always connected to me in some or the other way.

My relationship with music is just about selflessness which I found in it only. People came to my life and went away, few stayed, few changed, few stood by, few never looked back, but music was always there. My song of the moment, my song of the day, my song of the mood was always there, in some or the other cassette, cd, dvd, drive or folder. It was there. It is just another identity associated with me and my heart belongs to it entirely.

oas 🌸

Guzre huye lamhon ki oas, Aaj aayeene par jami huyi dekhi,  Gire huye do chaar lafz,  Aur bhulaayi huyi yaadein,  Kuch puraani tasveerein,  Aur dohraayi huyi baatein,  Ehsaas ajnabee to ho Gaye,  Par paraaye nahin,  Mulaaqaat to kehne ko ho gayi,  Par woh laut ke aaye nahin. Intezaar nahin, ummeed nahin,  Na unse mohabbat Hai ab,  Khud se naraazgi hai, nafrat bhi,  Kyun na samajh sake hum tab,  Behte rahe Nadi ki tarah unke jahaan mein, Jo kehte woh maan lete thhe, Aankhein moond Kar hum.  Ab khuli Hain aankhein to tajjub karte Hain,  Is oas par unka naam likh Kar mitaate huye, Hum hum na rahe, waqt badal Gaya magar, Woh na badle, na badli fitrat unki,  Kitni milegi saza us ek faisle ki,  Ki kabhi in nigaahon ne unko chuna Tha, Duniya se jhagad Kar unhe apna banaya tha. Mohabbat jab apni hi nazar mein gunaah ban jaati Hai,  Ek pal mein hausalon ki tasveer toot jaati Hai,  Saans aati Hai magar, jeene ka ehsaas nahin hota,  Zindagi guzarti Hai magar, Waqt nahin guzarta.

Kuch ghum ki parchaayi tum par bhi paddi Hum par bhi paddi Kuch dard ki chingaariyaan tumhe bhi jala gayin Humein bhi sulgaa gayin Kuch ashqon ki nami ne tumhe bhi bhigaaya Humein bhi sataaya Sab dil mein utarte jazbaaton ko chhoot-te tumne bhi dekha humne bhi dekha Sab bandhi ummeedon ko toot-te tumne bhi dekha Humne bhi dekha Bas fark itna raha Ki hamara saath na thha Koi aur hamare tha saath khadda Ek sa ghum Ek sa dard Ek sa dhokha Ek sa samjhauta Hum kar aaye khud se aur unse Aur phir hum tum miley bahut kismat se Waqt laga khwaabon ko ek sa karne mein Waqt laga sawaalon ko sulajhne mein Aur ek din humko phir pyaar ho gaya Ek aadhe adhoore shaqs se Tum se...humko pyaar ho gaya Ummeedein bandhti kaise Saari pehle se tooti thhi Neendein khwaabi hoti toh kaise Haqeeqat hi itni jhooti thhi Phir bhi aitbaar karne lage hum Tumse pyaar karne lage hum Shaam savere tujhse juddne lage Aadaton ke tevar badalne lage Neend ko bhi teri aadat si hone lagi Aur ek dor phir khwaab pirone lagi Hum t

neend 🌸

Neend Badda be - khauff hai dard yeh, Bin dastak aa jaaya karta hai, Ashqon ke libaas odh yeh, Din raat jagaaya karta hai... Aise mein jab Zara si khushi, Parchaayi mein bhi dhundhlaati hai, Ruk jaati hain saansein ab, Jab zindagi yeh muskuraati hai... Aadatein tanhaayiyon ki ab, kisi ke saath ki mohtaaj nahin, Jab aati hain liye koi vaada, toh dil kehta hai aaj nahin... khaamoshi ki lau mom se choo kar Zara si ladkhadaati hai, Jab koi haath pakadta hai toh saath chhootne ka darr badhaati hai, Guzra hua waqt jo ab tak beeta nahin, Usmein thamme huye toote vaadon ki yaad dilaati hai... Ab tum ho zindagi mein toh neend aane se ghabraati hai, Yeh haqeeqat badal Na jaaye kal iss darr mein raat bitaati hai, Neend aa jaaye toh phir khwaab dekhne se bhi ghabraati hai, Yeh khwaab Na toot jaaye iss darr mein kahan neend aati hai....
