10. 'Tis 10 days, Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti by Jagjit Singh is today's song, 290 more days to go

It is day 10, posting one song per day for 300 days. 

Bollywood Hindi Classic film songs, which I heard as a little boy playing on the radio, or music player, and later-on on TV are only a few Hindi movie songs that I really know. Life it seems has brought me a full circle. Since high school and after, I mostly listened to rock n roll music. Beatles, Police, Abba, and mix tapes of classic hard rock hits by AC/DC, Scorpions, MSG, etc., is what I mostly was listening to back then while I was learning to play guitar. 

Fast forward to now, thanks to Corona, life has brought me back to the old Hindi songs I used to listen to. Thanks to technology and internet, I am able to learn and sing those songs that I had mostly listened to as a child and hardly ever sang them. One thing leading to another, 10 days ago I decided to learn and post one Bollywood classic Hindi song per day for 300 days, so here I am, and it's only day 10.

Today's song is Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti sung by Jagjit Singh, who also gave the music. The awesome amazing lyrics are by Sudarshan Faakir. The song is from the 1987 movie Aaj, directed by Mahesh Bhatt. Akshay Kumar made his first screen appearance in the film, under his birth name Rajiv Bhatia.

So here is my rendition of this awesome meaningful yet light hearted song.

Lyrics:

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,

Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,

Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani,

Magar Mujhko Lauta Do bachpan Ka Sawan..

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..

Muhalle Ki Sabse Purani Nishani,

Wo Budhia Jise Bachche Kehte The Naani,

Wo Naani Ki Baaton Me Parion Ka Dera,

Wo Chehre Ki Jhurrion Me Sadiyon Ka pehra,

Bhulaye Nahin Bhul Sakta Hai Koi,

Bhulaye Nahin Bhool Sakta Hai Koi,

Wo Chhoti Si Raaten, Wo Lambi Kahani

Kadi Dhoop Me Apne Ghar Se Nikalna,

Wo Chidia Wo Bulbul Wo Titli Pakadna ,

Wo Gudia Ki Shaadi Pe Ladna jhagadna,

Wo Jhoolon Se Girna Wo Gir Ke Sambhalna,

Wo Peetal Ke Chhalon Ke Pyare Se Tohfe,

Wo Tooti Hui Choodion Ki Nishani

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti Wo Baarish Ka Paani,

Kabhi Ret Ke Oonche teeloN Pe Jana

Gharonde Banana, Bana ke Mitana

Wo Masoom Chahat Ki Tasveer Apni

Wo KhwaboN KhilaunoN Ki Jaageer Apni

Na Duniya Ka Gam Tha Na RishtoN Ke Bandhan

Badi Khoobsurat Thi Wo Zindagani..

Yeh Daulat Bhi Le Lo,

Yeh Shohrat Bhi Le Lo,

Bhale Chheen Lo Mujhse Se Meri Jawani,

Magar Mujhko Lauta Do bachpan Ka Sawan..

Wo Kagaz Ki Kashti, wo Baarish Ka Paani..
