Think About It!!

OK guys! Let's give some exercise to your imagination today. Suppose you are at a party with your family and a bunch of your friends. The dj is playing some real peppy numbers and everyone's dancing to the best. The song being played is something like-

" Teri lai lawa photo tu ruke taan sahi
Purchase vi kariye je vike taan sahi
Tuhanu dassa ki main yaaro, kaliyan da nitt khilna
Jo vi mile chakko kujh fresh nahio milna"

I have asked a couple of my friends why they listen to such stuff and the answer I have got is more than shocking. They say, "This is what is in." Well i can think that the guys  enjoy the song though I have no clue as to why that is but You Girls out there? I mean seriously? No! Just stop for a moment and try to comprehend what the lyrics actually mean.   

Now hypothetically speaking what would be your reaction if some random roadside romeo sang the same song while you are walking down the street? Obviously you would say that's "Eve Teasing!" You would want to slap the person in the face or create a huge fuss and want a bunch of other people to beat the teaser to a pulp. There you won't enjoy anything but sure as hell feel hurt. Don't you think that's a bit of Hypocrisy on your part?

One last thing, just think about how you feel when you see a 2 year old girl singing and dancing to the tunes of "Munni badnaam hui, darling tere liye." Or a 4 year old kid singing "Gandi baat" Yaar have some sort of dignity. I'm not saying that music is bad rather it's the most beautiful thing in this universe but then there ought to be some self respect. Please don't promote songs which present a woman as nothing but an object to be used and also, don't let some illegitimate lyricist ruin the purity and innocence of the beautiful gift of music.
Think!

    Hey Tamrina, I totally agree with your point and I have been asking many people about this...and unfortunately responses are always weird....but I am happy at least some people really appreciate good music and not that garbage....I hope time will change and the real spark of music will win the game...

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

The Evolving Lyrics of Life

I often say music is the sound of the soul and basically equivalent to oxygen for me. I know it sounds like a cliché but hear me out. All my life, starting from as early as I can remember, music has been my constant companion: in my joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, greetings and losses, it has been an integral part of almost all of my core memories. It inspires me, holds my hand when I am alone and even makes me make sense of my complicated emotions when I am unable to. Something similar happened a couple days ago and I want to talk about it.   Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai wo mushkil se. Aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wo hi sabse haseen hai. Uss haath ko tum thaam lo, wo meharban kal ho na ho I am sure a majority of you have heard these lines many times and we all have our own interpretations of them, I did too. My understanding of these lines emphasized how we should embrace the love that walks into our lives and hold on to it as it is a rare thing to find but also, we m...

My 2024 Wrapped

  I have contemplated writing this post, wondering if I am really in a mood to travel back down the memory lane and explore the year I had. But here I am, reflecting on what all went down in the last year, just as a way for myself to document my journey through the chaos. I started 2024 in a not so good mood, with dealing  emotions that were just too heavy to be explained in words or even understood, from feeling lost and alone to at the same time feeling guilty about letting down the people who cared for me, it was a complicated beginning. Then came a happy moment when I attended my first ever concert, something I desperately wanted to do. On the work front, I continued my MPhil journey, learning things I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do and finding ways to accomplish my goals in ways that were interesting to say the least. Feelings of being overwhelmed and not doing enough for my goals were a near constant, often to the point of being counterproductive. I learn...
