Going for a drive in the neat neighborhood. Crisp spring weather. A cd playing assorted list of songs. And i feel a strange connection to this one...Banjar..from Kabul Express
Banjar ret hai ....
Zameen banjar hai ...
Banjar aasmaan ...
Yeh ghar banjar hai ...
Beautiful spring bloom all around and the setting sun giving a lovely orange tinge to the white fluffy clouds.
And yet....
Is banjar sheher ke dil mein dundhu... mein gili mitti ka manjar
The crescent moon beginning to make its presence felt in the twillight sky, the wind carrying sweet smell of Spring.
And yet....
Banjar lamhaa hai
Waqt banjar hai
Banjar waqt si yeh raat banjar hai
Banjar raat! khwaab banjar
Chand taaron ka saath banjar hai
Is it the United states? Or the state of my mind? Or both?

Firstly i would like to say that you had done a great job really beautiful piece of work ....(sab banjar hai..phir bhi iss banjarpan se ek apnapan sa lagta hai)Exactly can't say what is it? but yes we all do have different state of mind for different situations & reasons which make us entirely unique from each-other ....and i believe that it's our conscience( both collective & individual)which governs our perceptions towards everything..that's why people say what we think about we bring about!!
Hope i'm not too late to comment:)- Keep it up....waiting to read many more good stuff ....
Hmmm.....Neat.Though I must confess i've not heard this song yet,but you've brought about a perfecctt marriage between your thought process and the song.
Keep going....i feel like a pardesi after reading your blogs :)
