Oh nadaan parindey
Ghar aaja..
Ghar aaja..
Kyun desh videsh phire maara
Kyun haal behaal thakha haara
Kyun haal behaal thakha haara
Kyun desh videsh phire maara
Tu raat beraat ka banjaara
Tu raat beraat ka banjaara
Oh nadaan parindey
Ghar aaja..
Ghar aaja..
A song that translates into one’s own story for many of us and almost all of us. A bird that has left its cozy secure nest to fly high in the open sky. Full of uncertainties and doubts. With only single faith, in self. Not sure how the weather would be. Sometimes favorable, at times not so. Far away from the known surroundings. Far away from the protective atmosphere. Far away from the comforting laps. In search of its own identity. In search of its own destiny. In search of its own self. The road ahead will not be smooth. Here no one will lend a hand at times of fall. All will only stand and stare. Some will laugh too. But have to stand again and keep forging ahead with confidence only in, self. Here, will meet both friends and foes. Sometimes will witness both in the same. Have to accept both and move on.
Then comes a gust of wind and shakes the determination within. Heart wants to fly back. Says, leave this land unknown and go back to own land, own people. This is not own, and will never own.
Wind calms down and mind asks, give up? Not yet!
