I liked the emotional aspect of the characters of this song. Only love is not enough...

 

I enjoy bollywood songs for their eternal verses. These verses shuffle between figurative and symbolic and literal perspectives in their interpretation as we wisen up in our flitting kinship.

One such song that has risen up in entangled perspectives for me is Tu hi tu har jagah

Tu hi tu har jagah
Aaj kal kyun hai
Raaste har dafa
Sirf tera pata
Mujhse pooche bhala kyu hai
Na main apna raha
Na kisi aur ka
Aisa mere khuda kyu hai
Tu hi tu har jagah​

The first twitch of love is usually figurative of 'Tu hi tu har jagah'. The romanticized partner is not corporeally noticed everywhere but the lingering presence is felt everywhere. Haunted by such thoughts, the opened fridge wafts of buttery aroma of smoothened cheeks. Cauliflower is the neck. Spinach reminds of the nose. Yes, in love, neck is observed in cauliflower and spinach is even fondled mesmerized in the spell of that Tu hi tu har jagah. They would conjure each other up aslant on a lamp post reading newspaper, momentarily lifting the brow to wink. They would imaginatively incorporate the other cross-legged on a bench grinning. Still, it is sweet to delusionally invent the partner fly-tipping a crisp packet when the nearest dumpster is missing.

But that ritualistic Tu hi tu har jagah fizzles out soon to be displaced by a more sustainable Tu hi tu har jagah.

This is not figurative, it is real! Does that mean the partner is noticed everywhere. Hell, no, it means, into a relationship, the couple is contently mindful and not excessively romanticizing the other's suffused presence. This next phase of 'Tu hi tu har jagah' also entails sensitivity to each other's needs. Either of them could order the meal to the other's liking with explicit instructions on iced water, still water, sparkled water and the width of the lemon wedges with chicken tikka. (Oh! she likes it that way.) The colors, texture and contours of our liking are memorized. (He likes it that way.) Both of them are not a hairline intrigued at each other's perfection in recollecting their subtlety around their tastes as much Tu hi tu har jagah passed between them.

I find this phase of sensitive to rather than enamored of each other's quirks the cherished Tu hi tu har jagah, thoughtful of Tu's peeves and compulsions everywhere.

 

I might have quoted this song across my burble. The song is defining in reconciliation. Its takes tremendous indifference of the outcome than any other reasoned emotion to venture into reconciling with someone. (But still I confront.) It could also be the wording "dar" (doorstep/threshold) which elevates the mundanity in reconciliation of tere yahan or tere pass chale aaye. I halt at your doorstep in estrangement. You might have to breach your restraint too. I have always loved the well-minded forthcomingness with insistent mutuality in the song. (I will come only till your doorstep, not to your balcony!)

Tere dar par sanam chale aaye
Tu na aaya toh hum chale aaye
Chale aaye, chale aaye​

Many cite ego as the blocker. I think, self-doubt plays a larger role. The subsequent verse indefatigably captures that self-doubt of falter at our suspected unanimity. (Does she/he feel the same way about me. Does she/he too miss me. Do I mean as much as she/he means to me). Against that falter we walk into with our delusion that the other person too wants us as much as we want them. Against the mockery of the passing night on our estrangement, I bring myself to you.

Ladkhadaye kadam chale aaye
Chale aaye, chale aaye
Isse pehle ke hum pe hasti raat
Leke apna bharam chale aaye
Chale aaye, chale aaye​

...it might only be a delusion I am cradling, yet, that invention of mine has brought me to you assuming that you too desire us together.

Often, romances entail compromises. Or that is how it is indicated. I think "compromise" is too self-sacrificing as a descriptive word. Romances sway in reconciliations. If you don't confront, I might deign chale aaye. Even if it takes a faltered delusion of a conciliatory dip, I would crawl through other deterrents for you too to descend from your own self-doubt and mope.

Tere dar par sanam chale aaye
Tu na aaya toh hum chale aaye
Chale aaye, chale aaye​

This song ranks high in my playlist for its indomitable melody not to forsake our chale aaye.

 

A melodious song with good lyrics. It’s from a movie which is based on a real life touching story.

Kathirunnu.. Kathirunnu..
Waiting..Waiting
Puzha melinju kadavozhinju
River thinned.. the river spot is empty
Kalavum kadannu poy…
The era passed by
Venalil dalangal pol
Like petals in summer
Valakaloornu poyyy..
Bangles slid off...
Orthirunnu orthirunnu
Brooding..brooding
Nizhalu pole chirakodinju
Broke wings like a shadow
Kaattiladi nalamayi
Swung like a flame in the wind
Noolu pole nerthupoya chiri marannu poyi
Forgot the smile that narrowed to a thread
Oro neram thorum neelum Yaamam thorum
Through each time through each prolonged hour
Ninte Ormayaalerinjidunnu njaan
I burn in the heat of your memory
Ororo marikarum ninte Mounam pol
Enikkaay peyyumennu kathu njaaan
Longed that like your silence,
each dark cloud would pour down for me
Mazhamari veyilaayi
Sunlight has replaced the rains
Dhinamere kozhiyunnu
Many a days pass by
Thenni thenni kannil mayum Ninne kanan
To see you who keeps slipping off my sight
ennum ennum ennum
ever and ever…
Olam moolum pattil Neengum thonikara
Hey boatman, who moves with the waves melody
Ninte Kootinaay kothichirunnu.. Njaan…
I had always craved your company
Innolam kanapookal eeran Mulamkavil namukaay matramonnu pookkumo
Will the yet unseen flowers bloom only for us in the bamboo woods
Thiri pole kariyunnu
Burning like a vick
Thira pole thirayunnu
Seeking like the waves
Chimmi chimmi nokum neram
While seeking, eyes blinking
Munnil pinnil ennum ennum ennum..
Before, Behind, ever and ever

The widow of a bachelor: The eternal story of Kanchana and Moideen

 

This song is 13 reasons why of a woman inquiring the ardor of a man dogged in pursuit to win her over as her suitor. I have listened to this song many times in the past but yesterday when I played, I paused at a noteworthy quibble.

Dil Ke Kahayalon Mein,
Beete Sawaalon Mein
Shabd Naye Buno,
Kuch To Naya Kaho
Tu Kare Dil Bekaraar
Kyoon Karun Main Tujhse Pyaar​

... are uppish women of this generation really falling for time-honored pledges in love. Is 'love you' and 'take care of you' and 'want you' and 'need you' fancier enough to concede in love. Don't the women deserve unheard and original propositions of a man's undertaking to woo her.

The woman instructs to rectify the act: Shabd Naye Buno, Kuch To Naya Kaho. Weave something unlikely, utter something imaginative. Fool! Just don't tinker around in worn-out pleas but up the ante of the courtship game.

I love the provocation of that woman unmoved by hackneyed tokens of love. How is a man to romance such an offbeat woman uninterested in repetitive themes of love. Keep insisting 'Jaayegi Tu Jahan, Aaunga Main Wahan' and bore you with more of my stock utterances.

 

There has not been another compelling melody at the urgency of falling love to the plain lyrics in 'Pyar ko ho jane do…'

Pyar ko ho jane do
Pyar mein kho jane do
Aaitbaar kiska hai, intezaar kiska hai
Abhi na hua to phir
Kabhi nahin kabhi nahin​

No propitious time to fall in love so long as you found the besotted companion to fall in love with. It can happen once, it can happen again but no destined season to fall in love. Don't be frighted at the suitability of the timing to fall in love because there has never been a better time than now with you alongside me to cede to this irrepressible feeling in me.

Why stall?
What is the love contingent on?
It is now
It has to be now.
If not now
Never can it knock again

I love the softened urgency of the inner turmoil to possess the eventful and delighted beckoning of love to have chosen them both to meet up.

Kuch bigad jane do
Kuch sawar jane do​

Let it break a bit of me. Let it reform a part of me. But just fall in love.

The song melts into a sweet impulse of love claiming them both -- in a good-tempered sense.

 

The aching plea in the song for another notion of rendezvous, another moment of togetherness, just another chance of being called upon is poignant. I have just found you. Don't quit on me already. I have never heard a song so wrenching in emotional arousal incapacitated by surrendered liking. I have only now fancied you. Don't turn about. I have only now been brightened. Don't retreat. I have only now tasted life. Don't halt. I have only now listened to my heart. Don't threaten me with consequences. I have only now discovered insanity. Don't reform me yet. The song staggers on hope of claiming one's newly fixated love.

What the heck is this song? So invasively hummed in an eruption of instantaneous feelings.

The lyrics are haunting.

The melody is sparsely instrumental.

Yet, the song is evocative of imprisoned in love by a sweet reckoning on how nascent yet intense feelings are tormenting the man in the wake of obstinacy of his fleeing love.

Abhi Abhi Toh Mile Ho
Abhi Naa Karo Chhutne Ki Baat
Abhi Abhi Toh Pasand Aaye Ho
Abhi Abhi Ruthne Ki Baat
Abhi Abhi Toh Roshni Aayi
Abhi Naa Karo Muuh Chhupane Ki Baat
Abhi Abhi Zindagi Shuru Hai
Abhi Abhi Tham Jaane Ki Baat
Hum Toh Haare Mahiya Re
Moonde Naina, Neendh Tihaare
Hum Toh Haare Mahiya Re
Moonde Naina, Neendh Tihaare​

 

Liked the freedom felt like nothing is there to show and prove someone. Do what you feel good. Love this song.

 

Like this song. I really couldn’t recognise that it’s Parvathi Menon. She looks so different. I have also attached her another song.

Sondha verodu thaan konda kaadhalinai
Adhu sollaamal ponaalum puriyadhaa
Aavaram poo annalil irundhe
Yaarukku kaathirikku
Andhi pagal mazhai veyil sumandhe
Unakkaaga poothirukku

Kaatril aadi thinamdhorum
Unadhu dhisayai thodaruthada
Kuzhandai kaala nyabagathil
Idhazgal virithe kidakkuthada
Nedunaal andha nerukkam
Ninaithe adhu kidakkum
Sarugagal satham podum
Dhinam soozhnilai yutham podum adhan
Vaarthai ellaam
