Life is musical!

How many times do you reallllly identify with a song? There can be various reasons. You are in a situation and a song starts playing nearby. You are actually in the situation where in you can associate yourself with the lyrics of the song and situation of the characters. It can be anything at all. Remember the scene in Andaaz apna apna , when Raveena tells Amir that she is not the real heiress of the property? Amir then has to clean all the plates and the song in background in "yeh kya hua ?"
Take a situation. There is this couple. They love each other knowing very well that they do not have a future. The guy has to leave. The girl comes to drop him at the airport. She has never felt more helpless in her life. She is probably seeing him for the last time. When she heads her way back, which is the first song that plays in the cab? Ye dooriyaan! The song becomes "her" song ..
lets take other scenarios .. Rain reminds me of rimjim gire sawan or mostly rim jhim rim jhim from 1942 a love story and a lovely mausam reminds me of ye mausam ka jaddo hai mitwa. Many times when I am upset and there is no one to cheer me up , I sing the song "mujhse naraaz ho to ho jao ...khud se lekin khafa khafa na raho"
Ofcourse! The hyderabad crush ... Mr. Fresh ... Whenever I would see him my brain would start playing the song "jab saamne tum aa jaate ho" and especially the line .. dekh kar tumk yakeen hota hai ...koi itna bhi haseen hota hai :) :)
Newly weds would want to own "dekho maine dekha hai ye ek sapna or may be ye tera ghar ye mera ghar"
Friends have so many songs to identify with .. i'll be there for you ... , i'll be al-right and even the latest jab mila tu! Ofcourse we have a friendship anthem .. Ye dosti hum nahi chhodenge!
eloped couples .. "humne ghar chhoda hai ;)"
I remember when Ritu had left, 2 songs would remind me of her. First was from JJWS ..rooth kar humse kabhi and the second one was from dushman Chitti na koi sandesh. Now I know these were sung for dying or dead siblings (God Forbid!!) but I am way too filmy.
So ... life can be pretty musical. Now only if we could have background music for our every moods :)
and the girl who loves yeh dooriyan may also like the following lines
Ranjish he sahi, dil he dukhane ke liye aa,
aa fir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa
