While on the way to work, my iPod was playing this song:
"Hansne ki chaah ne kitna mujhe rulaaya hai"
(The desire to laugh has made me cry so much)
I dont believe in indulging in self pity, yet the simplicity of this song can melt you heart
The first line is so terrific, that each time I hear, it makes me think and feel different things.
And the soulful voice of Manna dey gives it the edge of hopeless melancholy
The flute which starts the song, sets the mood. It has a bong touch to it, reminds me of trees and shadows
Hear it if you like to be beautifully sad at times, and love your sadness

hmm....self pity is sometimes very important...
Nice song sharing.
Pain and sadness is an integral part of the life of a romantic; much poetry is the product of loneliness and pain, rather, sometimes there is a kind of celebration of pain.
I also like this song; don't think it's about self-pity.
Manna De is a great singer; another one of his songs that immediately comes to my mind is, "Har taraf ab yahi afsaane hain"; so tender, so romantic.
Thinking - You said it right. You are welcome :)
Syed - "hum teri aankhon ke deewane hain"..I wished someone sang that to me some time :) This song I put is in a way about self pity, but not in a gross way. You are just celebrating your sadness when you say it...thats the only way to tone it down I feel
Zaroor gaaya hoga; shayad aapne ghaur se suna na ho.
:) dil se gaana aur sirf gaane mein fark hai
Manna Dey is amazing...he sang my all time fav " Humne dekhi hain in ankhon ki...." from Khamoshi
My first ever song, watched on TV. Rajesh Khanna, in Avishkar perhapse. Conveying a rare morbid romantic detachment.
Pesto Suace - Yes he has amazing voice quality. But I have only heard that "hamne dekhi hai.." sung by Lata, never Manna dey version
चंद्रभूषण - Yes Avishkar it is. This movie had beautiful songs - "naina hain pyaase mere", "mere laal"
Abhi der bilkul nahi hui hai; na jaane kitne sirf ek halke se ishare ke muntazir hon.
Waise, dil se gaane ke saath sur, taal aur awaaz ki gehrai ki bhi zaroorat hoti hai.
Syed - haan der to nahin hui hai, but the heart would know all sur, taal, if sung with melody in my mind
