Striving towards Excellence

-Karthik Gurumurthy

This  melodious, soulful touching, soothing song written by Anand Bakshi sung by Kishore Kumar and music by Laxmikant Pyarelal will heard for its poetry and sweetness.

यह जीवन है ,इस जीवन का
यही है ,यही है ,यही है रंग रूप

यह जीवन है ,इस जीवन का
यही है ,यही है ,यही है रंग रूप

थोड़े गम है ,थोड़ी खुशियां
यही है ,यही है ,यही है छांव धूप

Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai Rungroop

Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai Rungroop

Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai – Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai…

The whole world is nothing but duality in expression. Light-darkness, day-night, joy-sorrow, profit-loss, praise-insult, pleasure-pain that’s the warp and weft of the tapestry of life. The fact is you cannot savor the positive without the backdrop of a negative in life. If its all light with no shade, it will enervate after some time. The small pleasures are more cherished if they happen after rounds of some disappointments. Otherwise too much of sweetness shall become unpalatable.

यह न सोचो इसमें अपनी
हार है कि जीत है
उसे अपना लो जो भी
जीवन की रीत है
यह जिद छोड़ो
यू ना तोड़ो
हर पल एक दर्पण है
यह जीवन है……….

Yeh Na Socho Isme Apni Haar Hai Ke Jeet Hai
Oose Apna Lo Jo Bhi Jeevan Ki Reet Hai
Yeh Zid Chodo, Yuh Na Todo
Har Pal Ek Darpan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai…

Man and the mind crave for results. Generally every action is undertaken with an expectation of success. There is no harm in it. The only problem is that this expectation distracts the focus and leaks lots of energy while worrying about ‘what if’ of the outcome. It all boils down to accepting  people, situation, circumstances as they are and not as they should be. Just let it be and go with the flow. This also means living every moment in the present. It’s a gift as such from the existence, may be that’s why its called present.After all what is life. This duality and grateful acceptance is Life.

धन से ना दुनिया से
घर से ना द्वार से
सांसो की डोर बस्सी है
प्रीतम के प्यार से
दुनिया छूटे ,पर ना टूटे
यह कैसा बंधन है
यह जीवन है……….

Dhan Se Na Duniya Se, Ghar Se Na Dwar Se
Saason Ki Dor Bandhi Hai, Preetam Ke Pyar Se
Duniya Choote, Par Na Toote, Yeh Aisa Bandhan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai…
