Rafi Sahab..Then, now and forever..

-
Be it early in the morning or late at night, when you're alone or  when you feel nothing is right, listen to Raafi sahab's songs. If you know who he is then pat yourself on the back cause you've already won in life. What more do you want?


Mohammad Rafi who's fondly called Rafi Sahab, is one of the greatest singer ever to be born. God wanted to do us a favour and Rafi Sahab was born.  From chaudvin ka chand ho to na to karwaan ki talash hai, every song of his is a masterpiece. Even legendary singers like Yesudas and SPB, were inspired by and were fans of Mohammed Rafi. His voice can make you feel things, it engulfs you in a warm hug, gives you comfort and soothes your soul. You  need not necessarily be a romantic or a person from the 60s to enjoy these songs. Just lend an ear, he'll become your favorite singer in no time. You can also develop a great sense of taste in music like me ;)

His voice is not only romantic but full of optimism and hope. He takes us on  a rollercoaster ride of emotions. From romantic songs like 'Diwana hua badal' to patriotic songs like 'yeh desh hai veer jawano ka' to tragic ones like 'kya hua tera wada', he sang them all. 
 The pitch of Taa in the word tareef in the song 'tareef karun kya uski' , is perfect no one else could match it or in deewana hua badal when he sings the verse ' yeh dekh ke dil jhooma'.  There are many more such songs which were written so intricately and sung with such passion that  they will forever be etched in our hearts. Music is immortal, Rafi sahab's voice in immortal. 

From my grandparents to my parents and now me, we all enjoy this music and our future generations will continue to do so. His voice is engraved in our soul. My words fall short to describe his prowess and versatility. I'm so proud to call myself a fan of Rafi Sahab.


P.S- constructive criticism is appreciated, I would love to know your opinions and improve. Please do let me know. 
Until next time:)

Freedom of Press in India

Press freedom is a cornerstone of democracy, it complements a transparent government and public awareness. The constitution guarantees the right to free speech under article 19 (1)(a). The article 19(1)(a) emphasizes on the right to freedom and expression . The citizens of India have the right to express thoughts, opinions and ideas through words, writing , pictures and other forms of media. Ironically the right to speech also includes the `right to not speak. Citizens also have the freedom to for associations, unions. Our constitution grants freedom of speech to every individual but unfortunately the essence gets lost in this chaotic unjust system.  The press faces faces many challenges , like  Political pressure - Governments impose legal restrictions , censorship or defamation laws to supress unfavorable reporting. Recently the ministry of information and broadcasting has drafted the broadcasting services(regulation) bill, 2024 . This bill will classify influencers and soci...

How the pandemic has taken a toll on children

-
The evening sky was lovely, the birds were chirping and cold breeze was blowing.  I had gone out for a walk.  I came across a little girl who was taking a stroll with her mom. I waved my hand from afar. The little girl's face became pale, her mom waved back but the girl looked like she had just seen a ghost in bright daylight. Her mom pestered her to wave back at me but she continued to glare at me like I came to kidnap her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Playing outdoors, chasing butterflies, making paper boats in the rain and cycling around is what everyone's childhood is about. But fate had different plans for the genz. Two years of their childhood was taken away by the Coronavirus. It has given us quality time with our parents and and it has effected every one of us in one way or another. We have had many advantages, we reconnected with our school friends, picked up new hobbies, acquired new skills. All this sounds amazing but hav...

It ends with us

-
 I was so glad that this book ended.  Naked truth - I did not like it. *spoilers ahead* As you all know, I've been trying for a long time to start experimenting with new genres and this book was it. I took 2 days to finish this book, no it was not because it was that exciting but  I so badly wanted it to end. From a neutral point of view, I would say it's a decent read, the diary entries got a little boring but that part contributes to Lily's character development. The only part that I liked in this book is Lily not being a spineless fool and leaving Ryle. What would be the difference between her and her mother(whom she resented for most of her life) if she hadn't left Ryle?  Personally, I feel like Lily should've been showcased as a strong, independent woman towards the end instead of ending up with Atlas(the homeless kid whom her teenage self fell in love with, who is apparently wealthy now). So this story is basically about domestic violence, trauma, and abuse, t...
