World is a happy place. This is what we believe or at least this is what we want to believe. The sun rises in the east, sets in the west and today hasn't changed much from yesterday. The world is all about superficial universal truths which already exists and which are in the continuous process of evolution. The following lyrics from a song called "duniya" took me deeper. Go through the lyrics slowly and feel each word of the song:
oo ri duniya…
oo ri duniya
aye surmayee aankhon ke pyaalon ki duniya oh duniya
aye surmayee aankhon ke pyaalon ki duniya oh duniya
satrangi rango gulalon ki duniya oh duniya
satrangi rango gulalon ki duniya oh duniya
alsaayi sejo ke phoolon ki duniya oh duniya re
angdaayi tode kabootar ki duniya oh duniya re
aye karwat le soyi haqeeqat ki duniya oh duniya
deewani hoti tabiyat ki duniya oh duniya
khwaahish mein lipti zaroorat ki duniya oh duniya re
ye insaan ke sapno ki niyat ki duniya oh duniya
oh ri duniya oh ri duniya
yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai?
yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai?
mamta ki bikhri kahani ki duniya oh duniya
behno ki siski jawani ki duniya oh duniya
aadam ke hawaa se rishte ki duniya oh duniya re
heyyy shayar ke pheeke labzo ki duniya oh duniya
gaalib ke maumin ke khwaabon ki duniya
majazo ke un inqalabo ki duniya
faize firako sahir umakhdum meel ki zoku kitabo ki duniya
yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai?
yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai?
palchin mein baatein chali jaati hai
palchin mein raatein chali jaati hai
reh jaata hai jo savera wo dhoondhe
jalte makaan mein basera wo dhoondhe
jaisi bachi hai waisi ki waisi bacha lo yeh duniya
apna samajh ke apno ki jaisi utha lo yeh duniya
chitput si baaton mein jalne lagegi sambhalo yeh duniya
katpit ke raaton mein palne lagegi sambhalo yeh duniya
oh ri duniya… oh ri duniya… wo kahen hai ki duniya
yeh itni nahi hai sitaaro se aage jahan aur bhi hai
yeh hum hi nahi hai wahan aur bhi hai
hamari har ek baat hoti wahin hai
hamein aitraaz nahi hai kahin bhi
wo aayi zamil pe sahi hai
magar falsafa yeh bigad jaata hai jo
wo kehte hai… aalim yeh kehta wahan ishwar hai
faazil yeh kehta wahan allah hai
kabur yeh kehta wahan isa hai
manzil yeh kehti tab insaan se ki
tumhari hai tum hi sambhalo yeh duniya
yeh ujde hue chand baasi chiragon
tumhare yeh kale iraado ki duniya
oo ri duniya oo ri duniya…
oo ri duniya…

SerendipitY
There was this month long Europe tour in 1994. Raj with all his friends in London decided to attend the tour. Simultaneously, Simran in some other part of the city convinced her father to allow her to attend the same tour. Life ki comedy dekho, both took the same train and both were late to catch it. No body else than Raj observed the lady running desperately to catch the train. He somehow managed to get Simran on board AND the legendary love story begins. Now that is some fortunate accident.
It was one another lazy afternoon and Isaac was taking a nap under the tree. The poor tree was not strong enough to handle the weight of the lucky Apple and he wasnt hungry at that time. That is where the term gravitation was coined. What if he was hungry then????
He used to take the regular 7 o'clock local for his office. He never missed it. But somehow that day he was late and missed the train. Later on, that train burst into debris as a part of the series of Mumbai Local train blasts. That was fortunate!!!!
Bhagat Singh was a fan of Gandhiji in his childhood. But due to some agitation during the the Satyagrah movement, people burnt the police station at Chauri Chaura and Satyagrah was called off by Bapu. A new face of the Indian Freedom Struggle in the form of Bhagat Singh was born. So burning of the police station and subsequently calling off the movement was a fortunate incident for India!!!!
While casting for Sholay, the makers of the movie approached Danny Denzongpa for the role of Gabbar (imagine!!). Since he was busy with a Firoz Khan's movie he refused the offer. Hence the role went to the new guy Amjad Khan and one of the greatest villains of all time was characterised. Intrestingly Sholay won only one filmfare.
Some great man said " No accidents occur without intentions". I dont believe in him. For me no accidents are without some significant conclusion. When the conclusion turns out to be fortunate then we are the victim of Serendipity
