 I don't know if it is guitar or some other stringed musical instrument which they have used to give such a romantastic start to this eternally beautiful song ' 'Dil kya kare'aankhoon aankhooon mein…baatoon baatoon mein'.le gaya koi'de gaya koi'.Salaam- e- ishq''

History tells us that there have been songs which have done wonders to creature called human being or have just made them insane to the hilt where they get addicted to a particular song. Normally people tend to listen to this kind of song 960 times when they cross that extreme stage of 'fallen in love with this song' or 'my day is not complete unless I listen to it''(figure of 960 has been calculated after an exhaustively comprehensive survey which was done at an unarticulated place with totally unknown participants who gave random answers to help us draw such an accurate figure). Trust our survey team'You gonna see more figures like this'

I have heard of mads who got entire cassette 'burnt' with just one song (which they love) so that they don't have to put their music player on replay mode or to get up every-time from their beanbags to reverse it and then play it, reverse it then again play it, reverse it'play it'to have that trance going on always. No…I did not do that to show my part of love for the song' Dil kya kare'But yeah, I left the count after it was aired to my ears, more than 993 times. I guess lyrics of the song have got the true essence' Dil kya kare ' and I interpreted it as—can't help without listening to it.
I am not saying that to admire or to feel DKK 'one should be in or has to fall in that thing called love. But surely'One has to have a lovable and caring heart which melts even at the warmth of endearingly saccharine words coming from the person you love to be with. (You are in a soup if you have that kind of heart'go'get it changed asap).

One of my remarkable expereinces with this song is—next line tells that na'ruko toh..!
DKK has done something to me. I never knew and believed that it would happen to me at any stage of my life. But it has happened. The damage has been done. I actually tore apart my new Levi's to imitate the khumaari effect of Dil kya kare which says –'nikloon main phatti jeans pehnke..Shirt ke na hosh button ke'dil kya kare'. (Incidentally I wore something to cover my torso…Thanks roomie..!)'.
'Memory mein koi jaagte sote..dil kya kare'' is a stage which is perfectly depicted by this song and gives you a kind of kick which one gets after he or she is 4 mugs down. By the way beer is the proof that god loves us and wants to see us happy always. Beer is bliss to mankind. Let me narrow down the scope. Actually it is bliss to people like me'it makes me feel like..hey hold it..have we digressed from the topic?'..is it'.? Ok..Sorry'.woh actually mein kya hai ke beer ka naam aate hi..kuch kuch hota hai..tumm nahi samjhoge'! Anyways, I was saying that after listening to DKK 'you feel like on top of this world customarily explained by phrase–being on cloud 9''(at that height you are certainly on top)

Have you ever been through that state of mind where '' raaastey bhool jaata hoon 'bewajah gunn gunaata hoon '' now this particular state is rarely achieved'.but I am sure you all must have encountered any form of this at any given point in time in your life'remember when you used to check your semester results on that notorious notice-board with butterflies in your stomach and when after seeing the positive result(few like me always got negative on that board'that's why I hate all the notice boards of this world)'you ran back jostling through the crowd'eyes searching for your best buddy 'arms wide open for that hug'.tongue dying to say'.oye'main pass ho gaya yaar'main pass ho gaya…and expecting an answer like'saaley..main bhi ho gaya'! And then after doing all those kinds of unheard, unrealistic and illogical analyses of your result and what shape your CGPA is taking finally'you walked back…You just walked to nowhere. Then, my friend'then' you must have hummed a song without reason'Definitely you must have hummed. Because our team of experts after doing a survey similar to the one mentioned earlier, has worked out a figure of 96.73%. Yeah'! These many people must have hummed. Must have not cared about where they are walking to'on which road they are'..where they are heading to''just hummmmed'!

Although, the lyricist of DKK has used all this in a different connotation depicting a totally different scenario. He is certainly referring to a situation where the guy might had met his 'princess' for the first time or is just coming after spending best time of his life'delightful 6 hours with her which are still fresh in his mind. Situations might be different, but the effect is same. Whether you have checked your result (obviously passed) or have just seen her off to her place after having held her velvety 'softer than softest rose' hands for hours'…surely you must have sung or hummed. You sang beacuse DKK says “Din bhar kuch miss karta hoon,Jaane kaise khwahish kartaa hoon”..And then, your every day every moment must have been filled with love and as charming as 14th of February'Am I right? Another logic - Just think of all those unforgettably sweet moments, I am sure you will again sing the same song which you must have sung that time. Now, this is something strangely peculiar which even our survey team failed to comprehend. So let us accept the fact that songs are not just songs'they knit memorable moments together…DKK is one of the kinds'

Apart from the quite obvious and explicitly implied reason–that thing called love; DKK has got many other reasons for which it should be listened to. Chalo I will try to cite out 4 reasons to be with DKK'.

1. First reason is my heart favorite - While listening to DKK, you are smiling. Now it is not that easy as it sounds…just try recalling the number of songs you are bombarded with throughout the day and how many out of them really makes you smile (These hot,mirchi,dhaniya,meow meow and what not FM channels are to be blamed for—see how much selfish we have become these days'we are even cribbing for things which are financially doing no damage to our pocket).DKK brings smile on your face and they say - Person looks good while smiling. Waise tell me one thing…Amrita Rao is not always smiling…Right..?.So how does she manage to look so good and killingly cute every time'God knows'.and ab toh madam “Miss Players” bann gayi hain…ITC, which owns men’s fashion brand “John Players” has chosen her to endorse their new line of apparels for women…she almost “killed” me by her new dashing avtar…ok…ok..i know we digressed big time..woh actually mein kya hai ke, amrita ka naam aate hi bahut kuch hota hai…tumm nahi samjhoge…!So, let us try n stick to the topic.

Tou main keh raha tha ke…just listen to DKK, wear a smile and be happy'that is it'now this is easier done than said.

2. There is this big list of worries/issues (my sample set is given below) which hits you in head, the very first moment you open your eyes in the morning after having played snooze-snooze on cell for more than an hour. These worries or let's say tension-ators keep nagging you throughout the day while you are filling your belly with junk or juggling with the code you wrote hastily last night or while standing in front of your PM getting dose from him/her or while attending nature's call etc. Wherever you are, whatever you do'they keep your mind occupied. Few of them are like'onsite nahi lag raha yaar'..shit..yeh main bade size ki shirt le aaya..Dada Indian team mein iss baar honge ke nahi'.. mujhe testing project nahi karna hai'.she did not reply to my last 3 messages and a mail….yeh jeans fir se alter karwaani hai yaar'.baai aaj bhi nahi aayi kya'mera PM bahut pakaata hai bhai'.iss baar appraisal mein kya hoga'.oh god ..bahar kapde daale the sukhaane ko'bheeg gaye honge' car pool is not available this time'bus-stand bhi toh sec -43 mein shift ho gaya hai'n..aaj sham ki chai bhi miss ho gayi'oh ho..Bike ki service bhi toh karwaani thi. Yaar…). The list is long and can be customized by your own set of favorite worries.
Bosss..'Why to chew all these acerbic tensions throughout the day when you can swallow a sweet pill called DKK'..Dil kya kare. Just listen to this song'.and you will get indulgent feelings like'.hey I am the happiest of all'apney mein hi khoya rehta hoon…kehna hai kuch, kuch kehta hoon…….I have no issues with life or anyone'there is nothing which can pull me down (But Surprisingly once while listening to DKK, I was literally pulled down by a 3 years old toddler from my neighborhood who brought me to her face height just to stamp a sensational kiss on my otherwise useless cheek). Anyways, the point which I am trying to make here is'.just listen to this song and you will feel differently but satisfyingly happy .Ok…Follow my prescription—listen to this song consecutively for 4 times'..do it 4 times a day for 4 weeks'.and just watch the thrill.

3. You will explore a different aspect of your personality after having affair with this song. It does not give you any sort of gyan or tips to live life aise ya waise. Rather it simply creates a fascinating but virtual ambience around you which subsequently sets you thinking. Thinking about you…Your past good/bad old days'your experiences…again both good n bad. I feel DKK stimulates the thought process to think ,analyze, probe, deliberate about yourself and finally tells you ke'arre main yeh aspect of my personality tou janta hi nahi tha yaar'.arre..i used to think that I am damn practical in nature'but I am equally emotional I guess'that's a revelation'so what is it'was I like this always but wasn't aware of this facet of my soul or this song has changed something in me. I believe that to say latter thing would be bit preposterous.So; we come to same point that DKK helps you to explore you inner self.

4. Fourth point will come from you. This is an assignment. Pick up your cell, ipod, mp3 player or whatever you have, add DKK to the list'eat it'and then come up with the fourth point which you think is one more reason to be with this song. It is a must-do exercise for you all and I am waiting for your answers.

Whatever could be the reason for you to fall in love with any particular song, all we want by listening to it, is to have a calm mind, smiling face, and shining soul, forgiving nature with heart filled with love for your near and dear ones. Oh does that sound like 'feel like god'…I guess so'But one thing I am sure of. Even if you don't get all that mentioned above…One thing is guaranteed… A smile' and that too end to end' yeah…Like this'!

So guys'what are you waiting for, get up, pick a song and be with it'if you don't find any'try DKK…it is tried and tested from last one year'exactly one year (last year, these were the days when I added it to my playlist)'so I am just celebrating my first anniversary by writing and dedicating this article to DKK for giving me such wonderful moments throughout the year'Thanks hai'over n out'!


P.S. DKK is from movie Salam-e-Ishq. Music - Shankar Ehsan Loy, penned by Sameer and Adnan Sami is the one who created this magic by lending his 'how to define-such a lovely' voice to it.
