The so called band " MIRAGE "

Don't go by the name , it may be just temporary , but here it is , our own band "MIRAGE" , it started off with my friend apoorv always wanting to make a song like bc sutta ( if u have not heard it better listen to it , it music is amazing ), but I told him to make non- vulgar songs so that I can atleast tell my mom ( My mom's a classical singer and music enthusiast ) . After that he came up with some tunes but were incomplete , I was just a normal singer then ( trying to sing abhijeet sawant's songs and aiming for sonu nigam's :P) . Well after a dormant period I got my hands into guitar and the journey began , I along with my another friend Alok who had similar interests tried to explore the guitar world with aching and bleeding fingers . Then one day I started off with a simple arrpegios on guitar which attracted alok , we then came up with some 4 chords and that was it , something was coming up . Then another day ,I added few more chords at the beginning and came up with four lines of lyrics instantenously as if those words were crying to come out of my heart for so long , when we combined both the things it was amazing , then we really started working on it . Day and night we would add and try different combinations of chords and riffs to add to the feel . And as the chords went on , lyrics kept coming up . Finally it was time for a guitar solo , it was the most tiring of all , alok came up with a catchy riff and then we added to it to make a solo at an amateur level ( but whenever I listen to it I just love it ) .... AFTER lots and lots of editing and changes Finally we got our first song complete ... it took 4 months to make only this one song .. so we will never forget its making .
They say there's always a story behind every song , well its true , and this is the story behind our first song " Roko Ise ".

Second song : Kisine has a similar story but this time its apoorv who came up with a catchy theme , I wrote the first line of the song at that very moment when I heard the music . Earlier it was a disco type song but we later changed it into a band type song . I was amateurish during the first encounter as I hardly knew about guitar that time but this time I utilised my talent to the best .

Following are the lyrics of songs (though not yet complete ) which we made :-

Roko Ise..

Roko ise yeh jahaan me nahi…

Yeh zameen hi hain wo jahaan tera nishaan..(2)

Zindagi ki in raaho me kaatein sahi …

Magar chalte rehna hain yuhi humein…

Aaaa……..

Samjho ise yeh ishara hain wo ..

Yeh zamane ka koi bahana nahi..

Tu akela nahi zinadagi me yahaan..

Yahaan pe bhi logon ka tha karva..

Aaaa………

Ujala hain us or dekh tu zaraa ..

Andheri in raaho pe chalna nahi…

Yeh yakeen ho ke aankhon me aasoon nahi…

Muskurate hi rehna hain yuhi humein…

Aaaaaa…….

--Soham


Kisine..

Kisine naa jaana dil mera yeh begaana…

Kisine naa jaana dil mera yeh begaana…

Har taraf hain chahat nam hain kyun yeh afsana…

Doudti hain rahe na mile koi nazraana…

Kyun hain yeh betaabi..

Kaisi hain hulchul..

Na hamra koi aaj hain aur naaa….koi kal

Hai wohi nasha phir bhi yeh sitaam anjana

Dhundhli hain aakhen…mushkil ho raha chal pana

Kisine naa janaa …..

Badna to hain hi in uljhi raahon pe

Badna to hain hi in uljhi raahon pe

Humsafar na koi akela hi chalna hain

-- Soham and Apoorv


In palko…

In palko pe jo sapna..saja ke chala main…

Tha wo ek jhoota dilasa..zindagi ka…

Phir bhi main chala bhoola ke saara jahaan..(2)

He………………..

Wo lamhe zindagi ke zindagi se churake …

Sameta hain unko yaadon ke saharen…

Phir bhi/kyun na mila..wo sama pyaar ka(wo jaahan)…(2)

He………………

--Soham



Intezaar ( song.mp3)


Intezaar kar rahi phir wohi uljhin raahein

Mit gaya wo nishaan reh gayi kal ki yaadein


Dhundlin raaston par kho gaya tha kahin

Panchiyon ke sarike udd saka to nahi


Mil gaya wo jahaan mil gaye sapne

Udd chala befikar badalo ke paar ...

-- Soham & Alok

Alone ( bgift.mp3)

Alone ......

Bound in these chains again ,

They tore apart my dreams away

Trapped in this cage again

My wings ache to fly away


They strangled me

Wont let me free

Inflicted Pain upon my soul

Just becoz I am not the same


Born again ...(3)

- Soham and Alok


Sara Jahaan

Sara jahaan ruka hua kyun hain

Yeh zameen jal rahi kyun hain

Aasmaan dhua dhua kyun hain

Tharthara rahi yeh nadiyan


Aag ke pyale me jal raha ....( incomplete )

- Soham


With every new composition we improve exponentially , exploring the vast and endless space of music .Hoping that this journey never ends !!

Tag Virgin

I hate tags , but the topic was so interesting that I decided finally to scribble something about it .
I was tagged by aditi jiggs - http://writingpad02.blogspot.com/ .

Topic is " 5 things that you would do if you were of opposite gender instead ? "

Here are my 5 best possibilities :-

1) I would have a lot of attitude and would show off a lot by wearing mini skirts , trendy outfits etc and go bitching about others behind their back .

2) I would say NO to every guy who proposes me and say that " you are just my friend" .

3) I would like to kiss a GIRL once.

4) I would use my sensuos voice to ask for help from guys (like assignment , acads related etc) when needed and later ditch them .

5) After I am married I would make my husband do all the household jobs and I would just rest on the soft cushion couch watching " kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi " and all K serials on TV .

Well as all will say , I will also say that I am lucky that I am not a Girl . No general offense against girls but I am just used to be a boy and I am loving it !

DROP IT !!

We do not know what is the purpose of our lives . Why are we here ? , why are we doing the things assigned to us ? , is there life after death ? , is there a major controlling force behind every activity ?. Such mind bogling questions have been of keen interest to mankind since centuries . They have tried to explain the answers to these in every possible way ranging from historical accounting to logical reasoning , applied various developed theories and deducted new possible theories from it .There also have been a lot of debate regarding such topics . Some say there is a purpose to our lives and i.e. we are suffering the punishment for our misdeeds and sins which we committed in some ideal place ( eg:- heaven ) , so we are sent to earth to learn a lesson. On the contrary some say , there is no such ideal place but we are here because some few million molecules combined with some [1/(2^some billion) ] probability and the fittest of the organisms survive and the weaker goes for extinction. Since the world is a large place from our perspective , such beliefs lead to distinction between various cultures and religion. The individual group becomes so adamant about it that it starts imposing its beliefs on rest leading to argument , debates and what not . This is not something relevant of stone age but is a continous process which has been seen in variuos forms .
From an individual point of view , we meet people with distinct mind sets , some complimentary , some supplementary and find that they have their own beliefs and viewpoint about how things go around here . Some try to accept it but some try to force it on others or treat them as some lunatic . Some debate over it for hours and hours , fight for their belief giving examples from their own life .
I also sometimes take part in such debates (or should I say used to?) , I couldnt find anything from them except unrest and anxiety even if I win the debate . Whenever I debate over such issues I keep in mind not to use the weakness of the opponent , I hate it ( my personal quality , dont want to make any enemies or convert the few friends to enemies ) , I dont want to hit the person again and again on the green and give that person a tough time , I rather try to convince why I believe like this and when that person goes on and on without any sign of termination , I just DROP IT !

Reincarnation

As it is said -" Time and tide waits for none " - so true . While starting this blog my aim was to keep up with the daily happennings of my life but now it will serve exactly the opposite purpose i.e to forget the past happenings and move on . Time has changed me in various ways - my thinking , my character , my viewpoint - in some cases they have completely reversed . I realised how important it is to adjust to the society and its principles which I earlier thought can be ignored easily . I faced the brutality of speaking only truth , suffered the loss of friends which took a lot of time to recover (may be still recovering) , saw the metamorphosis in character of some people to such an extent that it became tough to handle them. Well this is not only the case with me , everyone faces this at this age . There are some who adjust quickly to this and some who lag behind and keep on thinking -" why ?". I certainly belong to the second group and I hate it , I wish I would have adjusted .
Well the adaptability depends on the work you are involved in and if you hate it from the core of your heart , it becomes extremely difficult .
So I am here again, back to writing , may be this acts as a filter to my sorrows and mishappenings in life .
