My Gujarati Connection


I learnt this song in year 1990 maybe, when I was in school. It left an everlasting impact on me all these years. I used it alot when I was working in Gujarat, helped me create a great impression .... even when I didn't quite know the language initially!!!!! I wish to share it so ppl can also see the beauty about the song.

Here goes ....

"Aakash ganga, surya, chandra, tara, sandhya, usha, koi naa nathee (kisee ke nahin).

Koni (kiskee) bhoomi, konee nadee, koni saagar dhaara?

Bhed kewal shabd amaara ane tamaara (the only difference is in words ..."mine and yours"!!!!

Aakaash ganga ........

Ej haasya ej rudan aasha e niraasha (ek see hansee ek saa rona, asha aur niraasha)

Ej maanav urvi pan bhinn bhaasha (ek se insaan hain hum bas bhaashayen alag hain!)

Aakash ganga ......

Aijdhanu andar naa hoi kadee jango (indradhanush ke rangon mein kabhee jung nahin hotee)

Sundarta kaaj banya vivdh rangon ( a beautiful arc gets created with all those beautiful colors ...sorry iskee Hindi nahin aatee!!! :) )

Aakash ganga......

This song inspires me alot!!!!!

Cheers!!!!!

This is truly inspiring and yes, would like to hear you sing this someday. These are one of the many things I like abt you. you take pleasure in the smallest of things in life and take inspration from the most everyday stuff that goes on, and get motivated by the slightest of appreciation or happiness you derive out of something. Stay like this forever my dear.
