Of a love song

In our films, the charectors sing when they are romantic, happy, sad or angry. People all around the world must be wondering this phenomenon. Though all sorts of emotions were/are subject of songs in Indian cinemas, love always comes first in the list. Love could never be expressed in films without songs

Romance between a man and woman in its most charming ways are depicted in most of the old Indian movie songs. They were just not songs, but poems. The practice of making tunes first and then lining up some words to the tunes were not in vogue those days.

 A romantic song in its enchanting best is pictured in a Hindi film. The song :

Bahaaron Phool Barasaao,
Meraa Mehaboob Aayaa Hai
Meraa Mehaboob Aayaa Hai
Hawaao Raaganee Gaao,
Meraa Mehaboob Aayaa Hai
Meraa Mehaboob Aayaa Hai…

can be considered  one among the best romantic songs Indian films had ever made. The song is beautifully sung by Mohammed Rafi.

The love struck man wants the plants to shower flowers and the wind to sing songs for his sweetheart. An absolute mood swinger.  Music has mesmerizing power, we have to agree. This song  is a perfect tribute to love.  The writer of the song narrates the feelings of a man and a woman who are in love.

As the sound waves enter our ears, they quickly transform into a cold soothing breeze. It then enters the heart to give a comforting feeling. It takes the soul to eternal joy. Heart sheds tons of its weight. It is a delightful experience.

Marriage is not a word, it is a sentence. We can enjoy this statement as a joke. But being loved is an experience, and one has to be in wedlock to enjoy this. Marriage is not a word, it a beautiful song written in colourful lyrics and composed in scintillating tunes. Enjoy it. It will let everyone live for hundred years.

I must add this too: in the history of the mankind, only one perfect marriage took place. That was between Lord Ram and Sita. The match between the man and woman was a perfect ten. There was no scope for any flaws.They had everything to make their life a bed of roses all through their life. Still, the couple could not live happily. That is life.


Plants may shower flowers and the wind may sing the most romantic songs, but still pinpricks and setbacks in a married life is  unavoidable.

May the husband and wife quarrel each other day in and day out. Let them fight, fume and shout at each other. But never allow the contract to break up. It is the solemn relation that must flourish and exist in the world for ever. A man or a woman can never be complete without the other half joined to him/her. This is a fact and any number of jokes about the married life will have to remain just as jokes. 

It is quiet surprising to see not even a single love struck couple sing a song and go around the trees in a park. In the real life such acts may attract thousand eyes staring at them.  As the prejudices and inhibitions of the society towards love  and the love marriage  wanes, we can expect that in real life too, boys and girls run around trees in the Indian parks and gardens to express their hearts’ feelings. Let there be love and another thousand love songs bloom…
