Saathiyaa the music album
Lyrics: Gulzar ji Music Director: A.R. Rehman
Saathiya has been a mandatory routine on the morning drive…. for almost 2 months now.
The typical day starts and once the drive starts, force of habit hands reach out for the play switch…the songs start playing and the mind motor starts humming…
=======================================================
1. Saathiyaa Saathiyaa, Madham Madham Teri Giili Hansi ~~ Singer:Sonu Nigam
Can't resist the smile .. Look straight , hope the rush hour traffic is still sleeping……....
~~peeli dhoop pehanke dekho baagh me mat jaana, bhavren tumko chedenge phulon me mat jaana~~
Beautiful rows of marigold dazzling, Cherry Blossom trees swaying to the early morning breeze, the mild sun rays falling on the face.. Pranaam Surya Devtaa , please keep shining the whole day..
~~Barf giri ho vaadi mein aur hansi teri gunje ~~ garam garam ujala dhuan naram naram ~~
Holy smokes.. why the sudden slow-down , whose baaraath (wedding procession) are we in….
=======================================================
2.Chhalkaa Chhalkaa Re ~~ Singers: Richa Sharma, Mahalaxmi, Vaishali & Shoma
~~Dum Dum dumak ~~ Where is the FF switch… Good.
~~Chalkaa Chalkaa re O aankh na maanee ~~~ maiyya bole jaana naheen, bhaiyaa ko bhi maana nahin ~~
Oh no!! why are they going at 25 mph , the posted speed is 55 mph. It’s going to be late yet again today..
~~Baabu teri choti thee gali, beete mere peeche rah gayee…. rah gayee ~~
Didn't pass the rose garden yet, where art thou . Did the traffic stop , hmmm, who is the bridegroom of this baaraath,..
~~~~Baabulaa chhoda teraa anganaara haan, anganaara anganaara ~~~
Home my sweet home, did I leave the iron on ?? no. Toaster ?? no. Should've had breakfast , look at that guy munching away on ….. guess it looks like an egg mac-muffin.
~~Ab ke jo saavan aayega~~~ Doosaree bidayee dolegee dolegee, piyaa ki judaae dolegee ~~~
Wow.. watch out.. it was the cop after all!!
=======================================================
3.Aye Udi Udi ~~ Singer: Adnan Sami
~~Halki e halki raath jo shabnam giree, are ankhiyaan vakhiyaan bhar gayeen ~~
Seductively sung and what delicate words…... oh, c’mon don’t imagine adnan singing and shaking, quadruple chin! divert -- divert attention.
~~Lad ladke jeene ko yeh lamhe bhee thode hain, mar mar ke seene mein yeh sheeshe jode hain ~~
Roses and more roses aha, this just made my day. .. wish there were tulips here .. they don’t have thorns…
~~Palkon mein jhapakee hai meethee shikaayath zindagee ae zindagee ae zindagee ~~~~
Why r people soo rude, can't they acknowledge and smile back ? maybe, that’s the unspoken desi etiquette here, smile and it just rebounds.....
======================================================
4.Chupke Se ~~ Singers: Sadhna Sargam
~~doston se jhootee mootee doosaron ka naam le ke phir meree baatein karnaa yaaraa din se ~~ kab ye pooree hogi door ye dooree hogi roz safar karnaa~~
How apt … waiting for the mellow refreshing sweetness to fill my ears….. dear mind please don’t wander , need to concentrate - learning to sing this one , its a current favorite.
~~Chupke se chupke se raath ki chaadar thale ~~~din bhee na doobe raath naa aaye shaam kabhee na dhale ~~~
Have to practice sangeet at least today, voice starting to sound so hoarse, thank fully no donkeys around here.
~~kal jo mujhuko neend naa aaye paas bulaa lena godi mein apnee sar rakh lenaa loree sunaa ~~~
Oh! Aunty and Uncle taking a brisk walk, maybe visiting, haven't seen them before!!! am feeling home sick.. isn't this is supposed to be a romantic song ~~~
=======================================================
5.O Humdum Suniyo ~~ Singers: K.K. Shaan, Kunal And Pravin
~~ shaam ko khidikee se choree choree nange paaon chaand aayegaa ~~
Stoplight .. getting too stuffy and humid , let me roll the window down.. ~~ dheem dheem thanana dheem ~~ so catchy and upbeat can't help tapping .. why is my hand in the air…???? Anyways, what was that song about.
=======================================================
6.Mera Yaar Mila De ~~ Singers: A.R. Rahman
~~ Teri Khoj talaash mein dekh piya hum kitne kaale khos chale ~~
What a long drive this one, feels like an eternity.. maybe they can build some highways in the air , when one can build castles.. why not roads..?
======================================================
7. Naina Milaike ~~ Singers: Sadhana Sargam, Madhushree
~~ palakon mein band kar leenee,~~ jhooth kapat chhal..
Need sun-glasses , am squinting to see.. Aaah now its beautiful, look at the blue sky how pure and divine.
~~ dhad se phisalvaay deenee saavan mein bullay ke saavan mein bullay ke ~~
Have to be careful while walking that sidewalk , have seen at least one go dhad se ....
======================================================
8. Mangalayam ~~ Singers: Sreenivas, Kay Kay, Kunal, Shaan
~~ maaNgaLyam tantunaanaena mama jeevana haetunaa ~~
Have to play this one first, feels good. Sanskrit, what a good subject for marks … have to try and understand this song next time…
=======================================================
9. Chori Pe Chori ~~ Singers: Asha Bhosle, Karthik
~~shaukeen lahrein hain qaatil samandar hai saahil naheen hai kaheen bandhu do gaz kee kashtee meelon samandar hai doob doob ke jaana hogaa meelon samandar hai vahaan~~
A humanity of vehicles and no parking spot in sight …mujhe kab milegaa saahil , found one , good day to start…
=======================================================
Each and every song in this album has meaningful lyrics and the more one listens, the more you tend to enjoy. It may not be the best, but, a sure winner amongst its peers. And believe it or not, haven’t seen this movie ..
Thanks to one and all who have traversed the maze of 'Saathiyaa' songs and the mind-talk….
Please do comment, if the maze did not leave you dazed….on second thoughts even if it did, do comment..

PS: aa in Saathiyaa is deliberate a la angle and angels, smile spikey..
