Ghazal-ing

Hum tumhe aisi pila denge
Tum aawo toh sahi
Hosh ka naam bhuladenge
Tum aawo toh sahi

Ghulam Ali. My favourite ghazal singer. i love his gravelly voice…the way the words seem to rain like heavy droplets….i was introduced to his voice by K. How we went gaga over the song “chupke chupke”. – we used to sit there moony eyed in the office and sing along; much to the consternation of our senior who thought we were too young to be listening to such “dukh bhari” gaane! i am a sucker for sentu songs..and his songs are so loaded with meaning…

Right now i am listening to this song as i try to code and blog, in that order….

Dukh ki lehar ne shera hoga
Yaad ne kankaar pheka hoga

Aaj toh mera dil keheta he
Tu ish waqt akela hoga

Me toh aaj bahut roya hoon
Tub hi sayed roya hoga….

S called up to say he has bought the Toshiba laptop for my sister. He will be sending it through PK and so i will be getting it next week. The configuration is good and the price is great. Thank god for holiday deals!!

Karoon nah yaad magar
Kish tarah bhulawoon ushe
