Zindagi… Life.. It’s a riddle. So many intellectuals, writers, poets and lyricists have written about it and have tried to understand, what is it actually! As Gulzar sahib wrote in his poem, “Zindagi kya hai jaan’ne ke liye.. zinda rehna bahot zaroori hai, aaj tak koi bhi raha to nahi,” no one has understood the meaning of life.
Even Indeevar says, “Zindagi ka safar, hai ye kaisa safar koi samjha nahi koi jaana nahi.”
Even in the past two decades a lot of songs have been written on Zindagi. Neelesh Misra’s “Kuch to bata zindagi, apna pata zindagi” from Bajrangi Bhaijaan to Kausar Munir’s “Love You Zindagi” from Dear Zindagi, there are so many examples. Zoya Akhtar, in fact, made a whole film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
Among a long list of songs which have talked about Life so beautifully, I today recommend you “Sau Gram Zindagi” from Guzaarish.
Vibhu Puri, the lyricist of Sau Gram Zindagi has written this song like he is explaining a well-spent life layer by layer.
Thodi si meethi hai, zara si mirchi hai… sau gram zindagi ye, sambhaal ke kharchi hai.
Asli hai, jhooti hai, Khaalis (pure) hai, farzi (fake) hai… sau gram zindagi ye, sambhaal ke kharchi hai
