Dum le le ghadi bhar, yeh chaiyyan paayega kahaan...

A new year, a new hope and a new dream. If I were to rewrite Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech, it would be an endless one. I am sure it is the same with each one of us. What is beautiful about a dream is not just the creative aspect of it but the relentless pursuit of human will from its conception to realization. Not many of us dare to dream. But nothing great has ever been achieved without dreaming. Dream big, Do not worry whether you have the ability to achieve it or not, and pursue it with a bigger heart.

Shailendra is one of my favorite lyricists. Most of his songs which I like have been sung by Mukesh, but this one has been sung and composed by my all time favorite music director, Sachin Dev Burman. Whether be it moments of dejection, loneliness or of reflection, this song has always been there for me. No doubt the lines are very powerful but the way Burmanda has sung this song is simply brilliant. He has added so many dimensions to it. Each time I listen to this song, I am amazed how much I enjoy it in a different way and in a different context.

Check the song here

I wish I could have given an audio link to this, as the video will simply be a distraction (its a brilliant movie though).

Have a great 2007!

Interesting! Wish you the same.
Though my personal favorite is 'gata rahe mera dil' from the same movie.
