Song Of The Week


A song that has been playing in my head since Wednesday – Aajkal Paon Zameen Par from Ghar. Now now, I won’t tell why! This song correctly described my state of being on cloud nine. Just listening to it makes me feel good. Makes me want to frolic/dance around in slow motion! Or do a Sridevi in the rains (No chiffon saree though. A kurta and denims work well too).

The lyrics are as good as they can get. If you listen to them carefully, you’ll realize how beautifully they express the feeling of being in love. Rather, madly in love. The soundtrack of this film also has other classics like Aapki Aankhon Mein Kuch and Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na. I am so in awe of Gulzar saab. He weaves magic with his pen. And so does Pancham with his music. The melody in this song is simply stunning. And then Lata Mangeshkar adds the chaar chaand with her voice! The outcome is so beautiful that I’d almost imagined how this song must’ve been picturised. And then when I saw the film, it was very similar to what I’d imagined. J

* Jab bhi thamaa hai tera haath toh yeh dekha hai
Log kehte hai ki bass haath ki rekha hai
Humne dekha hai taqdeero ko,
Judte hue! *
