I relate to this song- apne bhi dil mein basaye hue kuch iraade hain :)

ghar ko main nikla, tanha akela
saath mere kaun hai, yaar hai mera
jo bhi karna tha, kar aa gaya main
pyaar ko hi maanate chalte jaana

dekha hai aise bhi, kisi ko aise hi
apne bhi dil mein basaaye huye kuchh iraade hain
dil ke kisi kone mein bhi, kuch aise hi vaade hain
inko liye jab hum chalein nazaare bhi humse mile

dekha hai aise bhi, kisi ko aise hi
hasate, hasaate, yuun sub ko manaate hum jaayenge
barso ki doori ko milake hum saath mitaayenge
pyaar rahein, unke liye jo dhoonde woh unko mile

thoda sa garaz hai, thodi si samajh hai
chaahaton ke daayare mein, rukana faraz hai
koi kehta hai ki ghar aa gaya hai
aarzoo bhi arz hai badhate jaana

dekha hai aise bhi, kisi ko aise hi
dil ke jharokon mein ab bhi mohabbat ke saaye hain
reh jaaye jo baad mein bhi hamaare wafaayein hain
inke liye ab tak chalein, hazaaron mein hum bhi mile

dekha hai aise bhi, kisi ko aise hi

usual Sunday evening with my mom... My mom is playing Pizza chef on her system and playing her favourite songs, I am sitting with my laptop checking my facebook account and then comes the song In dino!! (From the movie Life in a Metro) and we look at each other and smile instantly...I knew that we were thinking the same thing.... This song speaks to you.. My favourite lines: Tu Khwab saja, tu jee le zara, Hai tujhe bhi ijazat.. It reminds me to love one person that I always keep for the last, myself. When I shared this feeling with my mom, she said the same. Tells you to dream again...
aah..what a refreshing song...
For those of you who haven't listened to the song (highly unlikely) , please do... :)

I just read this somewhere and it totally holds true. So, please read on:

It’s become something of a fad for the jobless, Justin-Timberlake-worshipping retards (who say things like “pink is the new black”) to stereotype those who are simply more sophisticated than themselves as “metalheads”. (And just so we’re clear — nothing will ever replace black.) The aforementioned seem to be under the grave misconception that metal is no more than sound effects created by men with painted faces raping an army of goats, and that their “worshippers”, aptly titled “metalheads”, are people who aspire to rape said goats upon a stage, wielding long hair and slit wrists, under the influence of chemical drugs.

Allow me to allay some of the more common misconceptions. I refer, in these points, to the general metal fraternity: composers and listeners alike.

1. Listening to metal is NOT a goat raping ritual.

2. Metal is NOT “just pointless screaming”. You really need to appreciate the fact that there’s far more to music than just the vocals. Metal is divided into innumerable sub-genres with varying vocal tones. Not all metal has harsh vocals.

3. Any retard with a microphone CANNOT pull off metal vocals. I’d like to see you try to sustain a Death Growl, or if you dare, the Filth Whistle, for over a minute. It is an art.

4. Metal is NOT about Satanic cults hell-bent on burning every Christian soul that roams the earth and cannibalising them.

5. Listening to metal does NOT classify you as the dreaded Emo (in my honest opinion, fittingly stereotyped). *

6. We do NOT listen to metal to percieve ourselves as “cool”. *

7. Listening to/composing metal does NOT automatically make you a stoner.

8. We are NOT just making up the stuff about searching the depths of the Scandinavian Underground to find our music. *

9. We do NOT slit our wrists for the heck of it, or at all. #

10. We do NOT listen to metal, and only metal, all day and all night. We also appreciate other forms of music that have actual substance.

Metal is an art, a thing of brilliance, with its own beauty, that a large number of people cannot, or just will not, accept.

11. Pop, hip hop, rap (excluding Eminem), R&B, Bollywood music, etc. lack substance. For us, to even contemplate listening to that crap means taking several steps back from where we are. Forgive us for not taking your musical recommendations seriously.

12. Metal is NOT the end-all and be-all of our lives. We have other interests and passions as well.

13. Metal is NOT a product of a “long-forgotten era”. Metal bands that are still in the game for the music, more than the money, are still aplenty, and still produce mind-blowing, brilliant, epic, music. It’s the bands of that “long-forgotten era” that now put metal to shame by catering to what you want, hence making more dough. *cough cough* Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth *cough*

14. We do NOT say that we “listen to the tr00 KvLt BlaCk MetcHuL”, or anything of the sort. *

15. We do NOT wear black metal tees twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

16. We aren’t your run-of-the-mill junkies with no aims or ambitions in life. People who listen to metal do have regular jobs, and went to (or are still in) school or college just like you.

17. Metal is NOT all about anger, hatred, and killing. That’s just the way you choose to perceive it. The “death” in death metal plays a large part in that.

18. And lastly, we most definitely do NOT secretly headbang to Linkin Park when nobody’s looking. If we do, for some bizarre reason, perform some such travestuous acts, we make no secret of it. *

* Not applicable to posers
# Not applicable to retards

So why stereotype metal then? We just listen to music that is different, and appreciate it in a manner that isn’t superficial. Unfortunately, we’re rather proud of that fact, and choose to be — justifiably — arrogant about it.

Metal is an art, a thing of brilliance, with its own beauty, that a large number of people cannot — or just will not — accept. Hence the stereotype. There is no such thing as a “metalhead”, as the world, unfortunately, perceives it today, and never will be.

If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music. It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth. Sydney Smith .....and I agree :)

Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


He who sings scares away his woes. ~Cervantes


Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead. ~Benjamin Disraeli


Music is what feelings sound like. ~Author Unknown
There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill; There's music in all things, if men had ears: Their earth is but an echo of the spheres. ~Lord Byron

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require. ~Edward Elgar

Alas for those that never sing, But die with all their music in them! ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Music is the shorthand of emotion. ~Leo Tolstoy


The joy of music should never be interrupted by a commercial. ~Leonard Bernstein.......Thank you for saying that, please abide by it people!

I try to use my music to move these people to act.~ Jimi Hendrix......one of my favourites :) Guitar god :P

It all has to come from inside, though, I guess.~ Jimi Hendrix When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do. ~ Jimi Hendrix.... and we do that :)

I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you're doing something. ~ Jim Morrison ( Ha ha :P)

If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive. ~ James Hetfield (lead guitarist and vocalist of Metallica)


...well said, all of you.~ Megha Jha :P
