talent

Some times I think about how important it is for one to have real talent and then . All around me I see talented people achieving greater heights of success. How easy it is for them to succeed where as its a tough tough fight for me ! What good it is to just survive like a meaningless entity ? You don't matter if you are not in the reckoning. If you learn to be content and in peace with yourself then living without any talent can be easy, otherwise it becomes very difficult. Not having a talent is like God has played a trick on you. He chose not to give you any talent but he did not forget to instill you with the sense to appreciate another person's talents and then brood over not having any yourself. Some prankster he is, right ?

Some might argue that having talent is not enough it is also important to get noticed. I would like to think that even those who have not gotten noticed still must feel satisfied about possessing a talent.

Power of Words

It was in the wee hours of dawn on Sunday, the 10th of August when I was overwhelmed by a
haunting melody of Salim-Suleiman and the magic of exquisite words penned by
Mir Ali Hussain. It was an obvious situation for an emotional fool to
be moved by the power of music and poetry. I watch a lot of
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009, which is a fantastic reality show spun
around music competition; specifically competition between singers.
Its the turn of the judges to vote for two out of three competitors.
Unfortunately all three of them were my favourites and each a class
act in their own.
Due to a bad choice of a bad song, Tarun Sagar was voted out.
However he took it quite bravely and expressed some very mature
thoughts at his fate.
Anyways while he was being voted out what caught my fancy was the
exquisite song that was being played in the background.
It was sheer magic.

Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke,
Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke - 2

Manzil Muskil to kya,
Bundla Sahil to kya,
Tanha Ye Dil to Kya
Ho Hooo

Raah Pe Kante Bikhre agar,
Uspe to phir bhi chalna hi hai,
Saam Chhupale Suraj magar,
Raat ko ek din Dhalana hi hai,

Rut ye tal jayegi,
Himmat rang layegi,
Subha phir aayegi
Hoooo

Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke,
Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke - 2

Hogi hame to rehmat ada,
Dhup kategi saaye tale,
Apni khuda se hai ye Dua,
Manzil lagale humko gale

Zurrat so baar rahe,
Uncha Ikraar rahe,
Zinda har pyar rahe
Hoooo

Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke,
Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke - 2

The music direction was superb but I think its the words which lent
the song its power.
Super job with the music direction (Salim-Suleiman), singing( Shafqat
Amanat Ali Khan) and ofcourse the magical lyrics (Mir Ali Hussain).

Hats off guys !!! What a beautiful piece of art !!!

Oh I almost forgot the song is called Hauslaa.
