Yesterday I was out with my better(?) half and pilla for the final grocery round up (final since I had been twice before in the weekend. Each time feeling final. Sometimes couldn't buy some things but others because of huge quantity or someone saying buy elsewhere). I have become an opposite of what I was when I came here. Earlier, I wanted to be out both on Saturdays and Sundays. Even if it is in Walmart, doing some mindless (read food) shopping. Of course most of these explorations reached delicious end (biscuit mix, cake mix, chocolates, cookies, juices, breakfast bars etc). But in due course all of this lost its allure. with pilla howling and better (?) plain annoyed at shopping sprees, they slowly lessened, as much as the will to shop. though better (?) half's wish is yet to be fulfilled at shopping under one roof (we do need indian vegetables at times and at this store, milk and fruits seem charged extra ) so we do "indian" shopping once in two weeks and weekly groceries either at trader joes or shoprite and when we were in west coast my favourite smiths...(which was so complete that it sustained us for 6 months. Indian stores there were BAD, for which I will write another ranting post).
The summary of whole digression is that we do grocery shopping one day a week, mostly Saturdays. Sundays are spent the same way. At home. Pilla with his tv or book or hotwheels, or some times Mikael Schumacher on scooty, me with Duolingo or one of the more alluring books that the library here has to offer or on mobile or just staring out in space, sometimes with a cup of tea. The better (?) half in his haven called bed, warming the bed and the blanket aswell, reading something on mobile, flicking mobile or just plain napping. (He has hard weekdays :()
But this week it was not meant to happen, so off we went for milk and fruits to shoprite. And as always better(?) half put on some songs. I like "Roy" songs and action Jackson ( gangster baby and chichora only) but when he put on kedarnath, I wondered, I liked the songs but not something I would like to hear in a dreary car journey, sacrificing a few hours of my precious me time before dinner prep, duolingo hung up due to lack of wifi, unmade tea waiting for flick of gas and daylight saving end (clock reset) making me think that I am perpetually one hour behind schedule, and the cherry of the cake, cold rainy day, the sky horribly grey and ready to vomit water, the way it was raining as if its on diarrhea...phurphur... Almost sulking I turned my head from the window where I saw real grubby snow I almost told my better(?) half to change the song to something more beats so that my self wont be so miserable and then the almost bhajan (religious songs but not filmy music ones) song started floated. closing my widening eyes I tried to recollect the song. I didn't remember much but some film shots in peppered in the song. Melancholy and worries slowly started melting away, hearing the music and lyrics.
As I started getting deeper in music and lyrics , I asked better (?) half the singer name. "is it Amit Trivedi?" I asked him. in contrast to earlier day singers with distinct voices like Kishore kumar, mohd. Rafi to Shaan and KK, current gen X singer's voices just meld together. there are too many and some of them very familiar to each other. "yes he is ". he said, checking the singer name in playlist. Amit Trivedi has a different, unrefined but soulful a bit rough edged voice, He is more of a composer (different and lovely music. I can never forget Unkahee of Looterey, which incidentally he has sung as well).
Currently due to varied reasons I am in spirituality. More of a student and someone who likes to follow the path than someone who does it because it has to be done. no questions. And telling mythology stories to pilla when he is half asleep is a legacy taken forward. I am my dada and pilla is me.
The song is a "bhakti geet" and it describes the adidev, mahadev so well, that I almost was misty eyed with devotion the first time I heard it.
I heard it so many times today that I am either humming it or its ringing in my head. Not every one may find it good, but for me this song is keeps...for me atleast, just like Ankahee. Both the composition and lilting voice of Amit Trivedi and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Guess I am going to listen it again....
Here are the lyrics:
Namo namo (Film : Kedarnath)
Jai ho jai ho shankara... aadi deva shankara...
Tere jaap ke bina chale ye saans kis tarah
Mera karm tu hi jaane
Kya bura hai kya bhalaa
Tere raaste pe main toh aankh moond ke chalaa
Tere naam ki jot ne saara har liya tamas mera...
Namo namo ji shankara bholenath shankara
Hey triloknath Shambhu hey Shivay Shankara
Namo namo ji Shankara Bholenath Shankara
Rudradev hey Maheshvara
Srishti ke janam se bhi... o...
Pehle tera vaas tha.. o...
Ye jag rahe ya naa rahe.... o....
Rahegi teri aastha... O.....
Kya samay... kya parlay
Dono mein teri mahaanta
Mahaanta mahaanta....
Seepiyon ki ontt main
Motiyon ho jis tarah
Mere mann mein Shankara
Tu basa hai uss tarah
Mujhe bharam tha jo hai mera
Tha nahi kabhi mera
Arth kya nirarth kya jo bhi hai sabhi tera
Tere saamne hai jhuka
Mere sar pe haath rakh tera
Namo namo ji shankara bholenath shankara
Hey triloknath Shambhu hey Shivay Shankara
Namo namo ji Shankara Bholenath Shankara
Rudradev hey Maheshvara
O Rudradev o Maheshvara
Chandrama lalaat pe
Bhasm hai bhujaaon mein
Vastra baagh chhal ka...
Hai khaadau paanv mein
Pyaas kya aur tujhe
Gaanga hai teri jataaon mein
Jataaon mein.. jataaon mein.. jataaon mein...
Doosron ke waste
Tu sadiaive hai jiya
Maanga kuch kabhi nehi
Tune sirf hai diya
Samundra manthan ka tha samay jo aa pada
Dwand dono lok mein vishamrit pe tha chida
Amrit se bhi main baant ke pyaala vish ka tuune piya...
Namo namo ji shankara bholenath shankara
Hey triloknath Shambhu hey Shivay Shankara
Namo namo ji Shankara Bholenath Shankara
Rudradev hey Maheshvara
Rudradev hey Maheshavara
Rudradev hey Maheshavara
