O Rahi Re...

I'm sitting and studying and listening to music as usual. And I heard this song from Luck By Chance. I was struck by how it just made so much sense. I always talk about choices in life and about what Dumbledore says in Chamber of Secrets about how your choices determine what happens in your life. This film, Luck By Chance, is about that too. The choices you make. And how they change your life forever. And when I heard this song, I was just struck anew by how true it is - your choices make you. I've made certain choices - and everyday I make more of them. Each day, each hour, each minute, each second. And not all of them are good choices, not all of them are choices which I would be proud of, looking back at them. But all of them were, are and will be important. Because they also go into defining who am I and what I do or what I become. And more than remembering them - it's about not forgetting them.

Here are the lyrics of the song...

Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

Singer: Shankar Mahadevan

Jaad Uthe Hain Raaste, O Rahi Tere Waaste...

Teri Zindagi.. Tujhse Har Ghadi.. Aur Har Kadam.. Hai Yeh Poochhti..

Rahi Dekh Raha Hai Tu Kya, Har Har Disha Hai Raasta..

Bol Tera Hai Kaun Sa Rasta, Rahi Re O Rahi Re

Kisi Ko Nahi Hai Pata, Rahi Re O Rahi Re, Kahan Jaa Raha Hai Bata

Ek Raasta Kaaton Ka Hai, Ik Rasta Phool Ka

Tujhpe Hai Kaun Se Tu Raaste Ko Chune

Ek Raasta Hai Soch Ka, Ik Rasta Bhul Ka

Tujhpe Hai Tera Dil Ab Kya Kahe Kya Sune

Hoga Tera Hi Yeh Faisla, Hai Sochana Ya Bhulana..

Bol Tera Hai Kaun Sa Rasta Rahi Re O Rahi Re

Kisi Ko Nahi Hai Pata, Rahi Re O Rahi Re, Kahan Jaa Raha Hai Bata

Aasaniyan Mil Sakati Hai Tujhko Zamaane Se

Par Zara Yeh Bata Jeena Hai Kya Yoon Tujhe

Azadiyan Tu Payega Khud Ko Hi Paane Se

Phir Bata Koi Darr Mehsus Ho Kyun Tujhe

Hoga Tera Hi Yeh Faisla, Aasaniyan Azadiyan..

Bol Tera Hai Kaun Sa Rasta

Rahi Re O Rahi Re, Kisi Ko Nahi Hai Pata

Rahi Re O Rahi Re, Kahan Jaa Raha Hai Bata
