That "lamp-postish" feeling
Greetings!
Have you ever thought how the world would look like from vantage point of a lamp post?
Every evening you switch yourself on and see the same patch of land. Till Sunrise. (of course only till electricity is there or till the lamp can emit light).
You have to be rooted in one place while others pass you by. Some vehicles, people and stray dog may come into the focus. But this association is quite short lived. Over the night there are a few blurry fleeting moments of life while rest of the time all it sees is just a patch of the road, reflecting nothing but it's own light.
In life too, there are phases when our minds turn into lamp posts. In the day such mind is quiet while the hustle of life keeps going all around. But after the sun settles down, the same mind turns down in a gloomy way, illuminating exactly the same old memory patch. Sometimes right till Sunrise.
On such evenings, the million shades of human emotions turn crimson dark and get lost in the seemingly unending darkness. Some of them just get into a free fall and keep at it as the intellect refuses to intervene and provide a solid surface for them to crash and become million shards...
These emotions are momentary (like all other) and merely need acknowledging, but somehow in our social setting such emotions are frowned upon and swept under teethful-of-selfies or binge-ful of web series. They are muffled by drowning into work (social and or office) or physical feats in Gym or beyond...
For such emotions the last bastion is a poet. And once they make their way through the pen of a poet, they capture the imagination of music composers and finally express their anguish through singers.
This is how, for such "lamp-postish" feelings, a song like "दिन जाये रे,रात ना जाये" gets born.
When in need of letting such emotion flow - listen to any such song, like the one listed Here, and let these feelings live their momentary life!
Sincerely Mine!
