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.

गाडी बुला रही है, सीटी बजा रही है
It is one of the unique characteristics of Bollywood lyricists to derive pragmatic values of life by observing everyday things — in this case a train. For example:
"responsibility of carrying people around, fire in its heart, smoke on its lips ... still keeps on singing, i.e., moving"
"[the train] won't bother about all that [thunder, rain & lightning], moves at the drop of signal, day or night"
Add to it the melodic singing Kishore Kumar can provide. A treat, although a nostalgic one.
