Today an amazing singer passed away - Jagjit Singh. I loved his choice of Ghazals. I loved the poets he brought to life. I did think his song eventually sounded the same but there was a finesse in his voice which comes only as a natural gift.
Poetry I believe has been my best friend even in times of distress, lulls and speed such as now. I have no time to realize where I am, I have no time to figure out how life will be tomorrow. I just know I am! in the moment. I do remember my past vividly though I wish I did not. I do make new memories every minute with no time to even savor them. There are lots of things I have stopped to do such as Run, Exercise and write.
Since we are on the topic of poetry, I was reminded of Sri Harivansh Rai Bacchan and his poem
Two songs of JS come back as a flash to me. 'Sarakti Jaaye hai ruk se naqaab, Aahista Aahista' and 'Tum ko dekha tho yeh khayaal aaya, zindagi dhoop tum ghana saaya'
Haala ki London ki sardi mai saaya nahin dhoop ki aarzoo hai!
I am sure this would be one of those posts I will not be very proud of!:-)
