It's been a while i wrote something for myself.... Finished my work at office. Idle time and mind!Listening to the haunting strains of 'Panchi' by Jal.... Recollecting all the 'dust-laden' memories from my college days!
The year was 2004. Had ample time to pursue my passion - music. Started a beautiful journey of discovering music bands from Pakistan....
Stumbled across a band called Jal. Never heard of them before. Discovered the most amazing fact - their music reflected my chain of thoughts!
Fell in love with their simple style - evocative lyrics accompanied by haunting strains of guitar. Left an imprint on my mind....
Panchi, one of their early numbers, still remains one of my favorite tracks....
A beautiful composition with lyrics signifying the wish to 'break free from the mold'..... the background drum beats n guitar strains perfectly complement the singer's raw voice....
Panchhi hun,
Wish that the band's original members could have remained together... But Aatif Aslam, the lead vocalist, turned to greener pastures - fame and glitz of Bollywood.
They still make their music, although i think they lost their rawness... Not their fault!
I did discover one of the most brilliant bunch of musicians who were telling their experiences... something different from the regular fare. Am still moved by their music!
Hope they reunite to re-create the raw magic once again!

Panchhi hun,
Udne do ... Udne do
Hawawoon se
Ladne do ...
Raaste, galiyan chhod aaya main
Foolein, baagein tod chala main
Yeh raat abhi dhal jaayegi
Yeh baat abhi badal jayyegi
Tanha hun,
Rehne do ... rehne do
Asoon hun,
Behne do ... behne do
Panchhi hun,
Hmm hmm ... Hmm hmm
Hawawoon se
Ladne do ...
