"Jachta hi nhi aakho me koi, dil tumko hi chahe to kya kiya jaye"

[lovelaughsimp]

Currently crying because of Zayne, listening to this song and the lyrics-

"Love is crazy and wonderful

It's unaware of happiness and sadness

The flame tells to the moth, to go far away

Don't come here or else you'll burn like me

He doesn't listen since he wants to burn

Even if someone hides behind 100's of curtains

No matter how much they hide from their love

The heart falls for someone when it has to"

Alexa play Pyar Diwana Hota Hai by Kishore Kumar 😔

( how am i supposed to get over him? )

Why is my friend happy that I'm trying to get over Zayne 🫡

Love English music all you want, but NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, hits harder than desi music. Like every single singer has their own trademark genre which they can execute PERFECTLY?? 

Can we talk about Arijit’s Mai gehra tamas tu sunehra sawera main tera in Kalank? 

or his Tum sath ho ya na ho kya fark hai, bedard thi zindagi bedard hai in Agar tum sath ho? 

or Tujh sang sukhi roti bhaye in Mast Magan? Ok leave that. 

Lets talk about Atif’s Khayalon me lakho baaten yun toh keh gaya, bola kuch na tere saamne in Tu jaane na?

or Rafta rafta tera hua, tere bin mai hu benishan in Tera hua?

or Tenu lakhan ton chhupa ke rakhaan akkhaan te sajaa ke tu ae meri wafaa, rakh apna bana ke main tere layi aan yaara in Dil Diyan Gallan? Ok leave that

Let's talk about KK's Chaand Teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai in Ajab Si?

Or dil kyun yeh mera shor kare, idhar nahi udhar nahi teri orr chale in Dil Kyu Yeh Mera?

Or lut Gaye hum teri mohabbat me in Tadap Tadap? Ok leave that.

Let's talk about Jubin Nautiyal's tum se jo mil gaye, Mausam khil gaye, khudse ladne Lage hum sawarne lage in sawarne lage?

Or Mausam mohabbaton ke, lamhe ye chahaton ke apne liya bane hai maan le in Gazab ka hai din?

Or tere bina main na rahu mere bina tu in raatan lambiyan? Fine, leave that as well. 

Lets talk about Shreya Ghoshal's kaise huzurji ye lab dikhlaaye, chuppi lagake bhi gazab hai yeh dhaye in saibo.

Or Ye ishq haaye baithe bithaaye jannat dikhaye hain in ye ishq?

Or Dil bharta nahi, aankhen rajjti nahi, chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaun, waqt jaaye main rok na paaun in Thodi Der?

And DO NOT get me started on Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Lata Ji, Asha ji and Sonu Nigam. Desi songs are peak lyrics, romance, emotion and vocals. You're straight up wrong if you think ANYTHING can beat that. I love Taylor, 1D and all, but Hindi songs? Absolutely unmatched!

🎶Ye kya baat hai aaj ki chandani me,

Ke hum kho gaye pyar ki raagani me🎶

[wtfpremika]

Taylor Swift के ज़माने में 'Kishore kumar - RD Burman' सुनती हूँ।।😌❤️

(pal pal dil ke paas tum rehte ho🥀🎶)

[bollywoodirect]

"Main Saans Leta Hoon, Teri Khushboo Aati Hai Ek Mehka Mehka Sa, Paigaam Laati Hai Mere Dil Ki Dhadkan Bhi, Tere Geet Gaati Hai Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas Tum Rehti Ho" Madhubala and Kishore Kumar

[sadaf-e-mohabbat]

Aanewala pal, jaanewala hai, Ho sake toh isme, zindagi bitadoo Pal jo yeh jaane wala hai...

....

Ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin, Wahan dastaan mili lamha kahin nahi... Thoda sa hasaake, thoda se rulaake, Pal yeh bhi jaanewala hai ho ho....

This song and its lyrics especially, heals me. ❤️‍🩹

Wish I understood its meaning earlier, but it's never too late ❤️‍🩹.

Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, and Mohammad Rafi really dominate my playlist.

क्या यही प्यार है ?

[itsfookingloosah]

let's say, hypothetically, ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si. And for the sake of drama, let's add, soti raaton mein jaagi si. Now, if we were to conclude, mili ek ajnabee se koi aage na peeche.

Tum hi batao yeh koi baat hai?

Being Queer and Finding Love

As an amab (male) queer who is attracted to women more than men, I somehow relate to this (the above meme). It's frustrating and deeply depressing.

Ashutosh | 31st October 2024

It gets fucking lonely. I can't be queer and also flirt with a woman I'm attracted to, because then she just might think I'm that "gay friend" she can go shopping with (as much as I love shopping, myself), and whom she can set other men up with. It literally robs me of my own queer experience!

Love is an impractical dream if I want to just be myself, viz, if I'm not overtly masculine (but simply queer, non-binary)— and I don't like being masculine all the time! It's exhausting! As proud as I am of my queer identity and even to wear it around, I am also afraid to reveal it (in this case, to women I feel romantically for). Love has always been so far out of my reach—or, perhaps always only a touch out of view—that it justifies my loneliness, which in turn, justifies my constant desperation for love when I seek it out. My identity as "queer" is often co-opted, and I am reduced to a sidekick, my attempts at flirting (or, in better words, at courting love) dismissed as merely platonic actions.

Pardon the apparent "paranoia," for it actually isn't. It is an anxiety. And it is born from an apparent pressure— an unnatural pressure to 'act' overtly masculine, to mask my true self from the love I want to court. Love then feels like deception, and there is nothing I hate more than deception, the sheer insincerity subsumed in it. I don't feel free to love sincerely, honestly. And that pressure is external to me.

As a result, I often have to choose between being queer and finding love. Love can be found anywhere, not just on dating apps. But lately, in the real world, access to love is socially regimented in time, space, and methodologies, constructs which I recognise but do not intuitively understand. Outside of the realm of dating apps, and the meaningless hookups and superficial dates (romantic meet-ups) that reek of reluctance/avoidance that follow, finding love organically is an awkward game of chess. When I fail to make my move, I tell myself and others that I am shy—maybe I am—but really, I am terrified. And the game of love is so scary, that being queer feels easier, even if it isn't complete, even if I am incomplete. At least I exist, even if it's in the friend-zone. At least people are being "nice" to me. At least it "feels" like I have friends. At least this, at least that.

And when did love become a game of absolutes where there are winners and losers, success and failure, fuckables and unfuckables, sigmas and simps, alphas, betas, romeos, creeps, chads and charlies?

I was born to love. But love feels like an unfulfilled promise, and so do I.

Fin.

Post scriptum:

It physically hurt as I wrote this, because even I only realised this just now. Now I have to come to terms with it. This is my reality.

I can still feel a weird "surge" in my chest... Some kind of "welling up" in my chest cavity... Reminds me of SRK's film, "My Name is Khan."

Here are some songs that compliment this blog post...

Lyrics that hit home:

Kishore Kumar

Yeh dariya, yeh mauji, yeh sahil,

Yeh chhalki huyi mastiyaan

Hain aati nazar, kuchh kami si magar...

Jaane kya yeh nila aasmaan...

Kya khabar, kya patah... ja raha hun main kahan...?

Akela hun main is jahaan mein,

Akeli meri daastaan,

Nah manzil koi, nah saathi koi...

Jaane kya ye nila aasmaan...

Kya khabar, kya pata... ja raha hun main kahaan...?

This stanza is from a song Kishore Kumar composed himself. It is from his shelved film, "Neela Aasman," with Madhubala... it was shelved after her tragic death. Kishore Kumar wrote many of his songs himself; some of his songs were actually poems which he wrote as a young student. Jhumroo is one example.

Every time I listen to Kishore Kumar, I somehow feel like I have known him personally. I relate with him very deeply emotionally.

Beyond his known flaws, and the obviously charismatic jolly-good-fellow personality that is reflected in his popular songs and films, some of his poetry and music reflect a part of his personality which seems, however, forgotten. Apparently, he was a very deeply emotional man, and some of his very rare songs reflect his loneliness and almost hopeless yearning for true love, while songs like Jhumroo, which reflected hope, resilience, and perseverance, compensated for such depressing finalities.

Imagine Dragons—

I'm a reckless mistake,

I'm a cold night's intake,

I'm a one night too long,

I'm a come on too strong.

All my life I've been living in the fast lane,

Can't slow down, I'm a rollin' freight train.

One more time,

Gotta start all over,

Can't slow down,

I'm a lone red rover.

I'm a hold my cards close,

I'mma wreck what I love most,

I'm a first class let down,

I'm a shut up sit down.

I am a head case,

I am the color of boom

That's never arriving,

And you are the pay raise,

Always a touch out of view...

And I am the color of boom...

Oh! How did it come to this? Oh!

Love is a polaroid,

Better in picture,

But never can fill the void...

I'm gonna get ready

For the rain to pour heavy,

Oh, let it fall,

Let it fall upon my head.

Need I explain?

*****

Heya! Thankyou @shyam-kariya for tagging me in this. Mera Aisa koi particular genre nhi hai music ka... Thoda thoda sab sun rkha h. Lemme know if u guys like my music.❣️

Accha I think for Tumblr, Hindi music would be appropriate..so here goes.

1. Aarambh ~ Piyush Mishra Hassss to be my top one..cos it gives me positive energy and motivation when I'm low.

2. Humko kiske gham ne mara~ Ghulam Ali. If u are into ghazals and sufi , I bet u will like this too... It's all the genz needs and I love it for its harmonium piece.

3. Saason ki mala pe ~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan A weird thing of mine, but this long masterpiece of kawali is a beautyyyyyy it's all about dedication to higher soul and I let it just play while studying.

4. Rafta rafta ~ Mehdi Hassan. Ik it's been heard on insta too much now...but hey I looooveee this beauty. It's love described in words, I think if u want to know how it feels like to fall in love, just hear this.

5. Chingari koi bhadke~kishore Kumar. Looking for a good cry after a breakup but in the retro way??? Hear it and let the flow begin... It's just pain...plain old simple sadness.

6. Jis gali mei Tera Ghar ~ Mukesh. This is just dark in it's own way although it talks about a lover, and I love it for it's darkness. Do give it a try 😁

I'm giving the links to the songs... For your easy access.

Also , I'd like my frnds to join in on this...❣️❣️ @kyunbhai @hsnaayar @anarkali-disco-chali @seedhe-pahad-se @itsshivam05 @aahanna @hum-aapke-hain-kaun @emartirabdi (apologies if I forgot someone)
