One-liner # 2

These lines aptly describe me and the majority of my life so far:

Khyalon main laakhon baatein yun toh keh gaya
Bola kuch na teray saamnay
Huay na beyganay
Tum hokay aur kay
Dekho tum na meray hi banay

(Translation -
In my thoughts, I said a million things to you
But remained silent in your presence)

from Tu Jaane Na - Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani

Lyrics like these always touch a chord in my dil. Songs like Keh do jo bhi mann main aaye by Junaid Jamshed, these are the songs I identify with. Although, they are primarily sung by boys and about boys not being able to state their feelings, girls can probably identify with the sentiment more. The way things are girls expect boys to be the ones to take the initiative in asking them out or sharing their feelings. It's just sort of unnatural for the girl to be the initiator in these matters. I'm not saying girls can't, it's just not in our nature nor is it what society has programmed us to do. Girls want to be taken care of, to feel that someone is looking out for them. Somehow, a guy telling a girl what he feels for her, translates to us(=girls) thinking that he'll be there for us. If he's willing to take a risk in asking out a girl that means that he has confidence in himself (which is always quite sexy) and has faith in what can be. It also shows that he is willing to fight for her and he'll stand by her. Girls, on the other hand, can't just walk up to a guy and say, "hey, wanna go out?" I'm not even sure how a guy would react to that. I assume he'd be ecstatic but on the other hand, he could think that the right of a crucial moment in their relationship was snatched from him. It could go either way. Just like everything else in life. *sigh*

Point being, a girl harbors all these thoughts and feelings and what-if scenarios in her head unable to do anything about them, yet these songs are written/sung in a male voice. I think they are definitely more representative of what lies in a girl's heart.  At least if you're anything like me. I have a billion and one thoughts in my head about what can be and what I'd say  if I got the chance. It's just that I probably won't ever get the chance.

P.S.
In the video of this song, Ranbir Kapoor looks ABSOLUTELY yummy! I watched the video on repeat for over an hour in one go. I've been into him since  I saw Wake up Sid. He is physically perfect. He is lanky but slightly built. Tall. Nice, boy-ish looks. Perfect facial hair(in this song). Perfect amount and location of body hair(in Wake up Sid, it was all shaved/waxed off in APKGK :( ) Yes, I've done a thorough analysis of his looks and I am not ashamed to admit it (nor to share my analysis:P) If anyone finds a Pakistani replacement of him, please send him my way. I'll appreciate it.
P.P.S.
Finally, got to watch this movie after over 6 weeks of waiting (3 weeks out of which the DVD was sitting in my living room). It was alright. It's a good movie to watch if bored but the predictability of the story annoyed me. Although, the comedy is really well-done and very different compared to usual Bollywood slapsticks. Watch it for the songs and comedy (and Ranbir) if nothing else!
