Bollywood Soup for the Soul

Just yesterday, I was thinking about Bollywood music and I realized that we have songs for every occasion and every mood. Our songs capture every emotion there is! So here I am presenting the songs that motivate me, inspire me to get up when I am down, and encourage me to bounce back with a bang!

1. Allah Ke Bande (Film: Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II)
"Toota Toota Ek Parinda Aise Toota...Ke Phir Jud Naa Paya...
Loota Loota Kisne Usko Aise Loota....Ke Phir Udd Naa Paya..
Girta Hua Woh Aasman Se Aakar Gira Zameen Par...
Khwabo Mein Phir Bhi Baadal Hee They... Woh Kehta Raha Magar....
Ke Allah Ke Bande Hasde...Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Ayega"

2. Lakshya (Film: Lakshya)
"Haan Yehi Rasta Hai Tera....Tune Ab Jana Hai..
Haan Yehi Sapna Hai Tera....Tune Pehchana Hai..
Tujhe Ab Yeh Dikhana Hai....
Roke Tujhko Andhiya....Ya Zameen Aur Aasmaan...
Payega Jo Lakshya Hai Tera..
Lakshya Toh Har Haal Mein Paana Hai..."

3. Yeh Hosla (Film: Dor)
"Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke.... Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke..
Manzil Mushkil Toh Kya... Dhundhla Saahil Toh Kya...
Tanha Yeh Dil Toh Kya.....

Rah Pe Kaate Bikhre Agar.... Uspe Toh Phir Bhi Chalna Hi Hai...
Shaam Chupale Suraj Magar....Raat Ko Ek Din Dhalna Hi Hai..
Rut Yeh Dhal Jayegi....Himmat Rang Layegi....Subaha Phir Ayegi....."

4. Thoda Hai Thode Ki Zaroorat Hai (Film: Khatta Meetha)
"Thoda Hai Thode Ki Zaroorat Hai...
Zindagi Phir Bhi Yaha Khoobsurat Hai..."

5. Yuhi Chala Chal (Film: Swades)
"Yuhi Chala Chal Rahi....Yuhi Chala Chal Rahi...
Kitni Haseen Hai Yeh Duniya....
Bhool Sare Jhamele ....Dekh Phoolon Ke Mele...
Badi Rangeen Hai Yeh Duniya....."

6. Aashayein (Film: Iqbal)
"Aashayein ....Aashayein...
Kuch Paane Ki Ho Aas Aas....Kuch Armaan Ho Jo Khaas Khaas.....
Aashayein...
Har Koshish Mein Ho Vaar Vaar... Kare Dariyon Ko Aar Paar....
Aashayein...
Toofano Ko Cheer De...Manzilo Ko Cheen Le...
Aashayein Khile Dil Ki....Ummedein Hase Dil Ki...
Ab Mushkil Nahi Kuch Bhi....Nahi Kuch Bhi.."

I am sure I can come up with a pageful of such songs, and will add them as and when I think about them.

So, in short, music soothes, no matter whether it is classical music or filmy! In conclusion, I would like to quote a few lines from the song "My Favorite Things"

"When the dog bites...
When the bee stings...
When I'm feeling sad....
I simply remember my favorite things...
Then I don't feel so bad!"
