Give me some sunshine, give me some rain

This song captures the sentiments that we — my classmates and I — used to talk about when we were engineering undergraduates. (Although the story involves engineering undergraduates, it was reportedly shot in a business school campus, namely Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore).

The narrations, interspersed with musical stanzas, makes the song memorable. The fact that lyricist स्वानंद has carefully used technical terms routinely used in engineering, makes engineering students — former and present — appreciate the nicely disguised humor. Of course, in order to appreciate the Hindi language humor, it helps if you know Hindi.

साथिया ... साथिया ... पगले से दिल ने ये क्या किया

The female lover sings how her [miscreant] heart has chosen its lover without her knowledge ... 

The poet has chosen to refer to the heart in third person, as though the real she is different from her heart. Such separation helps in understanding when the heart does good things and bad, a clear ingredient in making the head rule the heart. That all of this woven to memorable music is, of course, the beauty of this creation.
