Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.

तुझ में रब दिखता है
The use of the term 'God' in Bollywood lyrics is quite frequent. This song is from the film रब ने बना दी जोड़ी. Its use in this song appears unique in the sense that the lover claims to see 'God' in his or her mate. Makes you wonder whether the Bollywood lyricists routinely go through a Vedanta course.
