With Love, Zindagi

Obscurities creep up time and again...

Whenever I tend to start liking one particular emotion, I am seldom left to enjoy it and soon there's a new emotion that I am supposed to deal with.

But every emotion - negative or positive good or bad, at a time, is beautiful in itself.

Again i find myself in a halfway house, recreating an imaginary situation - the conversation of the heart and the mind, a situation everyone can relate to.

Mind : How beautiful were the times when I walked on the grass so green, with you holding my hand.

Heart : Emotion - Affection

Mind : The way you talked to me about life. The way we mocked losers who didn't know what Life was.

Heart : Emotion - cheerfulness.

Mind : The exact moment when you told me that you loved talking to me and I extracted the best out of you.

Heart : Emotion - jubliation

Mind : Everytime when you called me by stupid names and how those made no sense then but makes so much sense now.

Heart : Emotion - contentment

Mind : Everytime when thoughts were many, expressions few

Heart : Emotion : apprehension

Mind : Whenever time flew and I found myself having nothing.

Heart : Emotion - hysteria

Mind : When I realised we existed on two different planes, separated by immeasureable distance

Heart : Emotion - Anguish

Mind : The recurrent flow of thoughts that affected the present

Heart : Emotion - Guilt

Mind : The attempt to take charge of life

Heart : Emotion - Optimism

Mind : Analysis of all of the above and the future

Heart : Emotion - Flurry of all of the above

But there is something that the heart has always been trying to tell the mind...

That all of it is beautiful - The negative emotion, the positive one, the great and the not-so-great one. It all defines our life, everytime we stop and analyse. Then the mind follows its own course and the heart, it's own.

But when the two collaborate and respond together, there's just one way of dealing with the thought in the mind and just one emotion.

Mind: Another event in life.

Heart: Emotion - Love.

That's why, I say, even hurt, pain, loss, and all the related emotions are as beautiful as love, bliss, joy, pleasure and contentment.

They are all equally awesome. Feel every bit of it.

These thoughts triggered because I have been listening to the following song the umpteenth time now... It makes a world lot of sense to me..

Filhaal...

Mind : Ye lamha filhaal jee lene de..

Heart : Emotion - Love (with Zindagi)

Aye zindagi

yeh lamha jee lene de

Oh, pehle se likha kuch bhi nahin

Roz naya kuch likhti hai tu

Jo bhi likha hai, dil se jiya hai

Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de

Maasoom si hasi,

bevaja hi kabhi

Honton pe khil jaati hai

Anjaan si khushi

baheti hui kabhi

Saahil pe mil jaati hai

Yeh anjaana sa darr

ajnabi hai magar

Khoobsurat hai jee lene de

Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de

Dil hi mein rehta hai,

aankhon mein baheta hai

Kaccha sa ek khwaab hai

Lagta sawaal hai,

shaayad jawaab hai

Dil phir bhi betaab hai

Yeh sukun hai to hai,

yeh junoon hai to hai

Khoobsurat hai jee lene de

Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de ...

Oh, pehle se likha kuch bhi nahin

Roz naya kuch, oh likhti hai tu

Jo bhi likha hai, dil se jiya hai

Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de ...
