LUCKY ALI or LUCKY ME!!??

Every time I get my IPod turned on or play some old cassettes on my ‘just-about-working’ tape recorder, there is this feeling of being in another world…feeling a high…elated…happy and kicked about life.


This particularly happened when I recently played a Best Of Lucky Ali collection (an old cassette) on my even older tape recorder.


Almost every song that played got me kicked. When I was listening to TU KAUN HAI….and visualizing the OST video of BHOPAL EXPRESS, it was like listening to the waves as they quieten, build up and hit the shores.

When I was listening to TERE MERE SAATH, the video shot in Cuba had to play inside me…the chorus and strumming of the guitar taking you back into another era maybe and with a light breeze of romance and happiness in it


When I was listening to KITNI HASEEN ZINDAGI, well…Malaika had to pop up in my mind but it was a beautiful feeling remembering or recollecting someone you are fond of…the small things about them…maybe the laughter…their voice or even their mannerisms…awesome feeling

When I was listening to another track (don’t remember the name) where the video portrays the circus clown…it was about the feelings that all of us keep buried within us and move on with life…it was very sacrificial and those of a do-gooder with no expectations of returns…made you feel heavy and not to forget the beautiful Urdu in it and powerful lines of poetry


When I was listening to ANJAANE RAHON MEIN, it made me look closely at people and life when we are so close to what we actually yet don’t see it. It seemed to seek companionship, someone who is there for you; moments that life I believe is all about…to treasure and cherish.

So thanks Lucky Ali or like I have named this blog, Lucky Me coz you made my Sunday morning full of zing, made me start the Sunday on a high, the coffee seemed that much more delicious despite not being filter coffee (AHEM!!), the breeze in my balcony seemed that much more relaxing and pleasant

Bye for now :) :)
