I wish I had this magical power of writing lyrics.. lyrics for joy, lyrics for celebration, lyrics for ecstacy, lyrics for love, lyrics for togetherness, lyrics for solitude, lyrics to vent out sorrow... There are so many times in the day I wonder if this is a gift that God bestows or something which can be developed through literature..
Come to think of it now, it could be like a dream job for me, if only I had that ability! How I wish.. I don't know how commercialised the business is, but I literally worship Gulzaar Saab for his work.. Saying that I'm his fan is the biggest understatement! Right from Katra Katra to Pani Pani re to Roz Roz Ankhon Tale to Do Naina aur ek kahani to songs of Marasim to Mera Kuch Saaman to my current favourite O saathi re from Omkara... Needless to say, the list is endless.
His lyrics take you to a different world..no, don't be mistaken not to a perfect world.. but a very human, a very real world and I think there lies the beauty of his songs.. you never get completely carried away to a utopian world, in fact you get nostalgic and relate to memories you could associate with those lyrics.. or sometimes just sit back and listen and get awed by his ability of writing such perfectly human songs!
