I've recently had my playlists play two songs of their own volition, both of which I liked immensely at the time of release of the song, and subsequently also its been pleasant to here them whenever one of my playlists shuffles them on, even though they're not staples. However, it struck me, that both songs are essentially about a woman advising her lover to admit that he is smitten - but in contradictory ways. One wants the lover to express his love uniquely and not walk the trodden path of oft used metaphors. On the other hand, the other song talks about coming straight to the point. Both are forthright women of the 21st century from these songs - both have a mind of their own and demand to be addressed and even loved the way they want - and what both seem to agree on - is to not trivialise the affection their lovers feel by way of their expression of it.
The first song is Agar Main Kahoon from the movie Lakshya starring Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta and can be seen here.
The particular lyrics are :
Main tumse kahungi
Is baat ko agar tum
Zara aur sajaa ke kehte
Zara ghuma firaa ke kehte
To achcha hota
The second song is Achcha Lagta hai from the movie Aarakshan starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone and can be seen here.
The particular lyrics are :
Aankh mein aankhein daal ke kehdo
khwabon mein tehlao na
Zara short mein
Batlao na
Seedhe point pe aao na
On a seperate note, I realise I've used the word lover instead of boyfriend or manfriend or whatever. It seems like the right word though.
