and tomo when I wake up on the morning of 15th august here and not in my homeland, shit its a feeling I cannot even describe .. and I was jus listening to this song 'luka chupi' from RDB the other day n cried lunatically..and no, it wasnt for the situation in the movie fr which this songs has been picturised..it was because, each word of tht song..made me realise what my mother - my homeland - my India is saying to me ..
aaj saanj hui, mujhe teri fikar..dhund la gayi..dekh meri nazar aa ja na..
how many of us leave our country in pursue of our dreams and then never return back? I m sure there must be soo many out ther.. but I heard this line sum days back and I got chocked .. I always knew I couldn't leave outside my country..because I jus would miss everything back home..but hearing this line I realised ..that my country misses me more than I miss it .. because it needs me..because I'll always belong to it..no matter what ..
because -
teri raah thake aankhiyaan..
jaane kaisa kaisa hoye jiya..
dheere dheere aangan..utre andheraa..mera deep kahaan..
dhal ke suraj kare ishaara..chanda tu hain kahan..
mere chanda tu hain kahaan..
thes seemed like the lines that my mom was saying to me..saying ki jus cum back to me..jus cum back home, sweetheart .. and these are the lines that I ehar my motherland saying them to me too ..
I m getting soo emotional at the moment I erally dont know what to say ..
except for this para yet again from the song ..
kya bataaon ma yahaan hain kya..
maine jharne se paani, ma, tod ke piya hain
gucha gucha kahin khwabon ka uchla ke chua hain..
chaaya liye dhali dhoop yahaan hain..
naya naya sa hain roop yahaan..
yaha sab kuch hain ma phir bhi ..
lage bin tere mujhko akela ..
and that feeling will always be there, Mom, wherever I am..because I m truely alone..if I stay anywhere else apart from wit u ..
soo this is to all those like me, I dunno how many like this are here on RF .. but to all those, who have left their home..in pursuit of their dreams .. but they know in their heart..that if thers one place they truely belong to, then its their HOMELAND .. its their mother land ..
I want to somehow make this promise to myself today..more than anybody else..than sum day..one day, I would go back home..and make MY country the dream that I wanted to see always..that I will do something for my country .. because she is the reason I m what I am ..
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO EVERYBODY!! 🤗
