My cube-mate and I both have headphones on. God only knows what he is listening to, but I thankfully am not performing an auscultation of the voices in my head. That I'll leave to another What if... I am grooving to "Aa Bhi Ja" with Lucky Ali and Sunidhi Chauhan. A remarkable song with above-satisfactory lyrics. These are one of the many soothing units of the lexicon put together into a full ballad that I have encountered, but not the most touching.
What if I was a lyricist and I were to put together the most majestically awe-inspiring set of lyrics? Of course, I require a Ganpati to be my scribe and I take on my new role of Vyas dictating my composition, as the emotion and words spew out of me. I start off with a heart-strings pulling line, "Shree Vallabh nakha-chandra chata bina, Saaba jaaga mahi ju andhero". (Without the moon beams shining from the toe-nails of Shree Vallabacharya, I only see darkness in this ignorance-ridden world.) I carry forward with another emotion evoking statement, "Saadhun aur nahi aa kali-mai, Jaso hawte nevero". (In this terrible age of Kali (Kalyug – Dark age), I see no other way to save myself.) Seeing that the first two lines require a sufficient title line, I spit out, "Dhrada inna charanane kero bharoso". (I take refuge at the feet of Shree Vallabhacharya, for I have absolute faith in him and him alone.) It indeed becomes my first line and title of the poem song.
Realistically Dhrada inna charanan was written by Surdas, his very last poem, after countless songs of Krishna, but what if I could muster up some passion onto paper and write something as magnificent. Had I written it of course, I would have croaked at the last word, but reached salvation.
