Time to get up and get inspired. .we are growing older. The
seconds are passing away, turning into minutes, minutes turning
into hours and then into days and weeks and months and before we know
it a whole year is gone by.
In the next five years we will be five years older. SO many of us
postpone our thoughts, our actions, our tasks; thinking we will do it
tomorrow. .THere is a very famous couplet or( doha) by
Kabir which says.
Kaal karay so aaj kar;Aaj karey so aab,
Pal me parley hoegi bahura karyga kab?
In English it means: what you have to do tomorrow do it today and
what u have to do today do it now. At any moment a disaster may
strike, then when will you do it?
Inspiration to me is motivation, the will, thedesire to go on even
though life is tough and our deeds seem futile and our hardwork goes
unnoticed. It is the strenght to endure and go on.Since I am a firm
believer of God, I feel that there are invisible forces around us,
guiding us, showing us the way and lifting us when we are down, crest
fallen, defeated and tired. God inspired men in times of darkness with
light and knowledge, with wisdom and teachings.
Some of these inspirations come even in hte form of good friends, a
good book and sweet melodious songs.Since the topic is inspirational
songs I will put the one and only Number one on my list of five
as :
*1.YOU RAISE ME UP by JOSH GROBAN:
*Oh MY GOD! You havent heard this song. Its a must hear and a must
hear. I love this song from the moment it starts to the moment it ends.
The music is sensational and soars through your spirit dispelling your
doubts and filling you with new hope and radiance.Its a
beautiful, heart wrenching song, sung in a powerful, yet gentle voice.
Josh Groban is so young, his voice is mature and heavy and there
is immense pain and deaph in his singing.One point to be
made when you hear the song,
"you raise me up, high over the mountains, I am stronger." *kindly refer the'you', *in the song as *GOD.
2. HERO by MARIAH CAREY:
*Hero is a very romantically touching song which is bound to
moisten your eyes.Hero is Mariah careys' signature songs and she
regularly performs it in charity shows, public events, and it is
a song close to my heart.
So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you ever strong
And then a hero comes along, with the strenght to carry on;
Hero is Mariahs most beautiful songs and You are bound to love it .
Dim ur lights , raise your feet and let
all that sadness drain out of you.
*3.YAHAN KE HAM SIKANDAR in JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDER:
Woh sikander hi doston kehlata hai
hari bazi ko jeetna jise atta hai
The real hero is the one who wins a losing battle. The first time I
head this song, my exams were just around the corner. IT used to
always put mein good spirits. The song tells you that no
matter how badly you may have performed, the true sportsman, or a true
winner is the one who dose not lose heart but perseveres and works
hard. He blelieves in'I CAN and not'I CANT' .The song has a very fresh feel, and music that is like sunshine, green
meadows anda lovely breeze. It is another matter taht the song was
shot in Dehradoon.
*4.YEH SAFAR BAHUT HAI KATHIN MAGAR in 1942 A LOVE STORY:
yeh safar bahut hai kathin magar
na udaas ho mere ham safar
nahi rehne wali hai ye mushkile
Though
the journey maybe long and tiring, but it will end soon and there is
light at the end of a dark tunnel.So dont be sad my friend, my
companion, for we must go on and be brave. There is alwasy a silver
linning around every dark cloud. And I firmly believe that if God has
put you in a situation, if HE has put a burden on your weak shoulders,
then it may be that our shoulders are not as weak as we think.For
God in HIs infinite wisdon and knowledge knows more than we EVERwould that we **can
do it**.THis is the basic message of this song and I get truly inspired
listening to it. Its soft, melodious and sooting to frayed
nerves.Hope you liked it.
*5.TUJHSE NAARAZ NAHIN ZINDAGI in MASOOM
*Have you ever seen the world through the eyes of a child?
Pure, innocent, happy, is how I describe children. If you have
purity of heart, truth in your tongue and good actions, then happiness
is yours. Children ask the most amazingly poignant questions that leave
you bewildered and groping for words.As we grow older life gets so complicated and entangled that we
forget things were simple once. Try looking at the world from a childs eyes and you will find that
there still is beauty and grandeur and goodness left.in great
measure.THis song makes me feel exactly that.
In the very end after all the inspirational songs are over I would like
to add a small note my brother gave me that is beautiful and sweet and
a good reminder;
Count your garden
by the flowers
NEver by the leaves that fall,
Count your years with smiles,
not tears.
Count your blessings,
not your troubles.
