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.

सनम रे
Nice lyrics through which the male lover describes his love. Arijit Singh's voice seems to add a special touch; equally pleasant is the tabla accompaniment.

गेरुआ
This song portrays love with several metaphors, some of which are highlighted below:
- "... wherever we met, time stood still." Time stood still is a sensation many poets have written about; the particular manner Deepak Chopra describes this feeling regarding love comes to mind.
- "Forgetting the [rest of the] world, I have met you. This wish has come forth of my heart ... that you give me — i.e., my life — the gerua color ...". Color is how many people describe liveliness, equating colorlessness with lack of life.
- "... I am the caravan, you are the destination to which every path leads." Bollywood lyricists equate the state of love to a desirable destination including, of course, the ultimate destination of reaching God.

हमारी अधूरी कहानी ...
A nice adaptation of this song appears in an Indian soap opera — कुंकुम भाग्य — which is where I first heard the song.
The feeling imparted by Arijit in his singing is immensely felt by the listener.
