In the name of religion...

I read a blog, by my friend Archana (which can be found here: http://archana-ashar.blogspot.com/2007/02/well-its-been-long.html )
...its kinda sad (and stupid) that we, humans, who so vehemently differentiate ourselves from other "animals" often end up shooting ourselves in our foot. If only other animals could communicate in a language we understood...we would have prolly been the butt of all their jokes.

Neways, since music plays a very important part in my life...it just struck me that there's a beautiful song by Alms for Shanti called Kashmakash...it makes perfect sense especially when put against what i have stated above (and what Archana has..in her blog). Here go the lyrics...

Alms For Shanti - Kashmakash
-----------------------------------
Kasmakash hai talaash hai sadiyon purani yeh pyaas hai
Chale us raste hum haste, jab dukh hai, josh aur dum
Chal hai chal, bola yeh man, tut jane ka yeh jatan
Jana hai pana hai gehraayion mein, khone ki lagan

Is par vaz main hain kayi raaz, rang, rasdi girvaaj
Kuch bujhle, kuch dhundle, kuch simte, kuch bikhre se
Jang ko hila hai chandi nadiyan, ye dariyan tez paani ka bahaav
Moksha hai haath ke daav
Kho gaya hai mera sapna
Bharam toota mera
Lut gaya jo tha apna
Kadam behke zara

Guru dakshina shaant atma
Paisa diya mila Parmatma
Shraddha saiyam duur hua bhram, lambe kash bas nikla dharam
Ab woh dhuyan kahaan mit gaye, sab disha kaisa yeh samaan
Khali khali hai yeh jahaan
Kho gaya hai mera sapna
Bharam toota mera
Lut gaya jo tha apna
Kadam behke zara

Dekho khatam hua yeh khel
Patri par se utri yeh rail
Maaro kaanto, aahe baton
Ilzam do dharam ko
Dharam toh hai sacchi neeyat
Sacchi neeyat hai insaniyat
Mutthi mein hai apni kismat
Kho gaya hai mera sapna
Bharam toota mera
Lut gaya jo tha apna
Kadam behke zara

Kho gaya hai mera sapna
Bharam toota mera
Lut gaya jo tha apna
Kadam behke zara

Kho gaya hai mera sapna
Bharam toota mera
Lut gaya jo tha apna
Kadam behke zara
