Der Lagi Lekin from Zindigi Na Milegi Dobara

Day 1/365:

I have been thinking about the song Der Lagi Lekin from Zindigi Na Milegi Dobara.

These lines in particular:

Der lagi lekin,

maine ab hai jeena seekh liya Jaise bhi ho din Maine ab hai jeena seekh liya

Aansuon ke bin Maine ab hai jeena seekh liya

Hai koi Jo yeh mujhse keh gaya Yeh kahan tu reh gaya Zindagi toh hai jaisa carvaan Tu hai tanha kab yahan Sab hi toh hai Sab hi toh hai Yahan..

Though the song is stuck on repeat mode while I look out the window of the bus while travelling to and fro from work, these lines stand out and make me think of everything about my life, especially the decisions I have made both the good and bad ones. most importantly, what these lines strike in me is the people I have let in and let go in my 27 years of existence.

Song credits go to the singers, lyricist, composer and producer.
