Khoob chalta ye vyaapaar hai
----------
(Hindi Script and English meanings also given below)

Khoob shauq haen logon ke, khoob chalta ye vyapar hai.
Sonay pe suhaga to ye, ke log kehte usay pyar haen.

Hai Profit & Loss statement,
par lagta jaise prem-patrachar hai.

Samaaj mein maan to liya ke prem ka shikhar vivaah hai,
par neev par uski bas ek 2BHK flat lene ka vichar hai.

Tol-mol kar rishte banana to theek,
par aksar chalta mol-bhav hai.

Shaql Aql Name Fame ki daud mein
lad mar dab gad gae bhaav haen.

Bhaavnaaon ko maar kar jo jitna neend mein daude.. 
utne uske bhaav haen.

Par galti bhi kya hae.. 
mazaak mazaak mein hee bachche ban jaate maa baap haen.

Rang pe kisne pehre daale .. Roop ko kisne baandha.
Hua karti thi ye sachchai .. Ab bhi hai .. 
Par jaise maan liya hai ke hai sirf ek gana.

Rang Roop Saahitya Sangeet Kala ..
inmein bunkar tha jeevan chalana.

Par lagte ab haen ye jaise post dated cheque,
mauka milte hee sabko inhein hai bhunana.

Mazbooti ka sathi.. Jiski nishani hai hathi..
Huh.. Tv pe to yahi thay seekhte.
Par is se pehle ke khud jeena seekhte..
aur bante mazbuti ke sathi,
Social pressure yaa pyar ke saraab mein,
Ban gae kisike jeevan sathi.

Ab retail price chhapi fevicol se dekha nahi kabhi dilon ko jodkar..
haan ..mazbuti ke jod ki testing hoti zarur hai usay todkar.

Na jaane zarurat kya hai us jod ki..
sathi to chalte hee haen hath thaamkar.. ya chalte haath jodkar ??

Samajhdari dikhti hai behti ganga mein haath dhokar..
Par ganga tod mod kar baandhkar ghar rakhne mein kahe ki samajhdari?

Aur itna sab sirf isliye .. ke koi aur na rakh le, agar na ho saki humari.

Plastic ke dilon ko shayad khoob hai bhaata ..
Jab tin foil ki jeebh pe padta sonay ka achar hai..

Khaer.. Khoob shauq haen logon ke..
Khoob chalta ye vyapar hai !!

(English Meanings)

Ah .. everybody is so passionate about this 'business'..
And to top it all , they call it 'Love'.

It's actually a Profit & Loss statement,
but it looks like a romantic correspondance.

The society believes 'marriage' to be the pinnacle of love,
but the basis of such a pinnacle is usually just a desire to buy a 2BHK house.

May be 'trying and testing' works before getting into relationships,
but nowadays it's 'bargaining' that happens rather.

In a conquest for Beauty Wisdom Name & Fame,
The emotions are suppressed, dead and buried deep.

The one with dead-emotions and the one who just goes on aimless and directionless,
he/she is the one who is most precious today.

But no one is to blame..
In just a casual turn of events, immature children become parents themselves.

"Rang pe kisne pehre daale .. Roop ko kisne baandha."
(an old Hindi song meaning : no one has physical beautiful forever)
This used to be a fact - it still is..
But we prefer to believe that it's just another song.

Beauty Wisdom Music & Arts
Life was to be woven with these strings..

But all these today seem to be like post-dated-cheques..
everyone wants to en-cash them as soon as possible.

"Mazbooti ka sathi.. Jiski nishani hai hathi.."
(a line from an Indian advertisement of a glue , meaning : 
The glue is the companion of strength, and it's symbol (logo) is elephant)
Huh ..that's what we learnt from the TV.
But before we could learn to live ourselves,
and before we could become the companions/partners of strength...
Due to social-pressure or seeing a mirage (illusion) of love..
we became someone's life-partner.

With a Fevicol (a glue) which carries an MRP, I've never tried to bind hearts..
But yeah, the strength of a bond does get tested by breaking the bond.

I don't know why we need these bonds..
when companions already move together hand-in-hand .. or do they walk with folded hands (in fear) ?

It seems to be wise to "make hay while the sun shines"..
But what's so wise about trying to grab, twist and pack sunlight to lock it at home.
And all this just so that no one else can take it, if we couldn't !!

May be the plastic-hearts love it..
when the pickles of gold fall on the tin-foil tongues.

Ah .. everybody is so passionate about this 'business'..
And to top it all , they call it 'Love'.

(Hindi Script/Devnaagri Version)

खूब शौक  हैं  लोगों  के , खूब  चलता  ये  व्यापार है .
सोने  पे  सुहागा  तो  ये , के  लोग  कहते  उसे  प्यार  हैं .

है  प्रोफिट  &  लौस  स्टेटमेंट (Profit & Loss statement),
पर  लगता  जैसे  प्रेम -पत्राचार  है .

समाज  में  मान  तो  लिया  के  प्रेम  का  शिखर  विवाह  है ,
पर  नीव  पर  उसकी  बस  एक  2BHK फ्लैट  लेने  का  विचार  है .

तोल-मोल  कर  रिश्ते  बनाना  तो  ठीक , पर  अक्सर  चलता  मोल -भाव  है .

शक्ल अक्ल  नेम  फेम  (name - fame) की  दौड़  में , 
लड़  मर  दब गड़ गए  भाव  हैं .

भावनाओं  को  मार  कर  जो  जितना  नींद  में  दौड़े .. 
उतने  उसके  भाव  हैं .

पर  गलती  भी  क्या  है .. 
मज़ाक  मज़ाक  में  ही  बच्चे  बन  जाते  माँ-बाप  हैं .

रंग  पे  किसने  पहरे  डाले  .. रूप  को  किसने  बाँधा ..
हुआ  करती  थी  ये  सच्चाई  .. अब  भी  है  .. 
पर  जैसे  मान  लिया  है  के  है  सिर्फ़  एक  गाना .

रंग  रूप  साहित्य  संगीत  कला  ..
इनमें  बुनकर  था  जीवन  चलाना .

पर  लगते  अब  हैं  ये  जैसे  पोस्ट  डेटेड  चेक (Post Dated Cheques),
मौका  मिलते  ही  सबको  इन्हें  है  भुनाना .

मज़बूती  का  साथी .. जिसकी  निशानी  है  हाथी..
(a line from an Indian advertisement of a glue , meaning : 
The glue is the companion of strength, and it's symbol (logo) is elephant)

हुह.. टीवी (TV)  पे  तो  यही  थे  सीखते .
पर  इस से  पहले  के  ख़ुद  जीना  सीखते .. और  बनते  मजबूती  के  साथी ,
सोशल  प्रेशर (Social Pressure) या  प्यार  के  सराब (mirage/illusion) में ,
बन  गए  किसीके  जीवन  साथी .

अब  रीटेल प्राइस (MRP) छपी  फेविकोल (Fevicol) से  देखा  नहीं  कभी  दिलों  को  जोड़कर ..
हाँ  ..मज़बूती  के  जोड़  की  टेस्टिंग (testing) होती  ज़रूर  है  उसे  तोड़कर .

न  जाने  ज़रूरत  क्या  है  उस  जोड़  की ..
साथी  तो  चलते  ही  हैं  हाथ  थामकर .. या  चलते हाथ जोड़कर  ??

समझदारी  दिखती  है  बहती  गंगा  में  हाथ  धोकर ..
पर  गंगा  तोड़  मोड़  कर  बांधकर  घर  रखने  में  काहे की  समझदारी ?

और  इतना  सब  सिर्फ़  इसलिए  .. के  कोई  और  न  रख  ले , 
अगर  न  हो  सकी  हमारी .

प्लास्टिक (Plastic) के  दिलों  को  शायद  खूब  है  भाता  ..
जब  टिन फोइल (tin foil) की  जीभ  पर  पड़ता  सोने  का  अचार  है ..

ख़ैर .. ख़ूब  शौक  हैं  लोगों  के ..
ख़ूब  चलता  ये  व्यापार  है  !!



Khoob Chalta Ye Vyapaar Hai

The Malhaar Lounge - An attempt to represent the urban Indian experience of Rains. 

If you've ever felt nice about the rains you'll like this one. If you've ever felt like having pakodas in the rains, if you've ever got stuck in a bad traffic-jam during rains - you'll LOVE this one. Here's a different perspective to look at the monsoon!! 

The lyrics are from an impromptu poem written during one of the downpours. It's a musical and poetic hymn to the rain-gods .. who never discriminate amongst various beings ..and drench everyone equally in the same downpour :)

This is a Sufi/Qawwali composition which begins with an intro verse depicting a longing for the divine. We then have a rockish arrangement entering the track after that, and also you'll notice tabla, Turkish strings and a few more sounds from the middle-east coming in. Enjoy.

This track offers a fusion of Indian and Western folk sounds and rhythms. The composition attempts to depict a typical winter-day in Delhi, the National Capital of India. From ambient pads and percussions to the beutiful sounds of santoor and sitar and the punjabi dholak beats, the track offers a wholesome experience of a New Age fusion of traditional and urban Indian music.

Delhi Winters

Lyrics : (traditional) Hazrat Shah Niaz

Hori hoye rahi hai .. Ahmad jiyo ke dwar
Hazrat Ali ka raang bano hai .Hasan Husain khilar
Aiyso hori ki dhum machi hai .. chahun or pari hai pukaar
Aiyso anokho chatur khiladi .. raang dinyon sansar
Niaz pyara bhar bhar chhidke .. ek hi raang sahas pichkar

-----------------------------

Sufi Rang - Kaafi (Hori Hoe Rahi Hai Jiyo Ke Dwar)

This track is a world-music groove with primary sounds of Santoor, Persian string-sections and world-percussion elements. There also are sprinkles of Islamic sung verses, mosque prayer calls, Qawwali vocals. There's a strong contemporary feel with Islamic music from Persia and Indian sub-continent.
Created this track esp for a movie that I created recently ..about the Archaeological Park at Mehrauli, New Delhi, India. The film can be found on Youtube here: http://youtu.be/NdvIaqavCow

Enjoyed the whole process..hope you'll like it too :) Best wishes!

The Sultanate Groove

This one is a meditative track..it's specialty being that it is very "organic" in the sense that the melody is mainly composed with the sound of real whistling and beatboxing (the main beat being played in human voice). It was created in a meditative state of mind and we hope that this peace would be contagious and will calm the listeners as well. Cheers !

The Whistling Monk (Meditation Music)

Special greetings for all :)

--------
Quotations/Messages from various discourses by OSHO:
--------
Life should be a continuous celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Lets transform small things into celebrations.
-------
Life is a moment to celebrate, to enjoy. Make it fun, a celebration, and then you will enter the temple. The temple is not for the long-faced, it has never been for them. Look at life--do you see sadness anywhere? Have you ever seen a tree depressed? Have you seen a bird anxiety-ridden? Have you seen an animal neurotic? No, life is not like that, not at all. Only man has gone wrong somewhere, and he has gone wrong somewhere because he thinks himself to be very wise, very clever. Your cleverness is your disease. Don't be too wise. Always remember to stop; don't go to the extreme. A little foolishness and a little wisdom is good, and the right combination makes you a buddha.
------
True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either the misery was false or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November is gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. Life should be a continuous celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then you can grow up, you can blossom. Transform small things into celebration.

FESTIVITIES

This is a New Age / World / Ambient / Meditation Music track with a Zen feel to it. Also includes a good dose of Gregorian Chants, Asian instruments like the Zheng Harp, Flutes and Nature Ambient sounds.
