Salaamaleykum, (2) commentsA few weeks ago, on a children's Hindi Song singing competition (Zee's SaReGaMaPa Lil' Champs), one of the kids sang a song that mesmerised the hearts of everyone that heard it...and not to mention the tears it brought.Here's the song on YouTube : Tujhsa Naraaz Nahin Zindegi from Masoom(1983) And so that you get the feel of what I'm talking about, here's the translation of the song: I am not upset with you, life.. I am astonished; To your innocent questions,I am distressed. I never thought that in order to live, I would have to take care of woes; To smile, I would have to take on the debt of smiling; If I were to smile, it seems that I would have to incur this debt upon my lips. Today, if my eyes fill with tears, then they will fall; Who knows whom these eyes will long for tomorrow; Who knows where I lost; The one tear I had kept hidden. Life, your sorrows have taught us new bonds; Whomever you shall meet in the sunlight; You will feel the cool shade of love. This song perfectly narrates the thoughts that's going in my mind and heart right now. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.After all, this is one of the Evergreen of Bollywood. Before I go far, let me recommend you to watch Masoom (Innocent). This wonderful movie made me almost weep like a baby.Naseeruddin, Shabna and little Jugal Hansraj acted splendidly...extra applause to Jugal for his extraordinary act as an child actor. Watch here. Ok back to the issue... Life is beautiful, but it sometimes ask us questions to which,we have no answer. When this happen, we get stressed out and become walking zombies, due to excessive worry and thoughts. But we never hate life for that, as I said, Life's beautiful. Sometimes, we say life's not fair...note down every time you say that,and you WILL realise that, sooner or later, you'll be saying life's beautiful again. Every misery that touches us,every headache/heartache/worry we receive, there's a good side behind it. If the great fire of London never happened, London would have remained filthy and plague-infested...and never rose to be a major city in the world. Well, of course, this is life, its not heaven. Having our heart crushed, painful incidents, emotionally tormenting scenarios are inevitable. At such times, people we love comes in handy..be they friends or family. Bottom line, things happen for a reason...we just need to open our eyes and minds and search for the silver line. Life is a voyage, fantastic, exciting unique voyage. Bon Voyage. Allah Madad!
