My favourite song. Rehman is at his greatest in this.. The singing is top notch and the picturization seems so fresh even after all these years..

Where the #mind is without #fear and the head is held high;
Where #knowledge is #free ;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of #truth ;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards #perfection ;
Where the clear stream of #reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead #habit ;
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening #thought and action;
Into that heaven of #freedom, My Father, let my #country awake.



চিত্ত যেথা ভয়শূন্য, উচ্চ যেথা শির,
জ্ঞান যেথা মুক্ত, যেথা গৃহের প্রাচীর
আপন প্রাঙ্গণতলে দিবসশর্বরী
বসুধারে রাখে নাই খণ্ড ক্ষুদ্র করি,
যেথা বাক্য হৃদয়ের উত্‍‌সমুখ হতে
উচ্ছ্বসিয়া উঠে, যেথা নির্বারিত স্রোতে
দেশে দেশে দিশে দিশে কর্মধারা ধায়
অজস্র সহস্রবিধ চরিতার্থতায়,
যেথা তুচ্ছ আচারের মরুবালুরাশি
বিচারের স্রোতঃপথ ফেলে নাই গ্রাসি---
পৌরুষেরে করে নি শতধা, নিত্য যেথা
তুমি সর্ব কর্ম চিন্তা আনন্দের নেতা,
নিজ হস্তে নির্দয় আঘাত করি, পিতঃ,
ভারতেরে সেই স্বর্গে করো জাগরিত॥

In 1992 the movie ‘Roja’ which starred #Arvind Swamy (Hero) and #Madhoo
(Heroine) was a super hit. This #song which was sung by Minmini had such a
simple message which is in fact a combination of the quotable quotes of
Mahatma Gandhi and H.D. Thoreau.
"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do
or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let
me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Mahatma
Gandhi
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours
to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success
unexpected in common hours." Henry David Thoreau

In life it is important to combine #zany #out-of-box thinking with a
#pragmatic approach.

English #translation of the song-
The heart is but small and hopes and wishes are small too
A heart filled with mischief has a very innocent desire
To reach for the moon & stars and touch them
The wish to fly high and touch the skies (aim high in life)

Today I wish to radiate the same scent
As the scents of the flowers in a garden
The clouds are my stole
And just like the drifting clouds I want to dance crazily
I have braided the world into my plait

The earth seems to be in bloom and seems heavenly
My mind feels inspired and I’m experiencing heavenly bliss
I wish to sing like the cuckoo
My desire is like a frolicking fish
Youth has bestowed on me a dream which is very colourful
