A song from the past....

Songs, some times even a single line, many times a word from a song invoke a lot of memories in you. The lighter moments of life, the fragrance friendship, the colours of affection, pains, tears…..many many things flows from the past whenever you hear some songs.

I have one such memory. I have a song which brings some of the good moments of life back to me. You might also have heard the song..it is…..Huzur is kadar tumna itrake chaliye……….Khula aam aachal na lehrake chaliye…

I had a colleague, about three year before. She was very fond of music, art and fashion?

Being a national organization normally we had busy schedules almost all days. But in the evenings, before leaving the office we – we were four at that time - used to stay for some time to analyse what has achieved and what not during the day.

We used to discuss about many things which are beyond our official tasks such as the society, contemporary issues and of course about music during the evenings. She used to recite ……..Huzur is kadar tumna itrake chaliye……….Khula aam aachal na lehrake chaliye….often.

I also had a tendency of humming, sometimes singing the song during the small gaps between our regular works, some times a line or two, that’s it. But my friend had never allowed me to sing it beyond a line!!!!

She used to say that my sound is terrible….in her own words mine is “besura aavaz”!!!!

Her strong but affectionate “Jay please stop it” echoes in by ears whenever I hear ……..Huzur is kadar tumna itrake chaliye……….Khula aam aachal na lehrake chaliye….often.
