Luka Chuppi

Luka Chuppi bahut huyi, saamne aa ja naa
Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe, thak gayi hai ab teri maa
Aaja saanjh hui, mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na..

I remember the days I used to skip this one song from the album.. and now it has become my favourite song in the album, I think it just goes to show how poorly defined my musical taste buds are, for it has taken me so long to like this song.. and for that matter I have had similar experiences with many Rahman's songs, but very few slow numbers of his.

According to the lyrics of the song a mother is singing to her son, asking him to stop hiding and come out as she is tired and worried looking for him. Lata Mangeshkar plays the mother (female vocalist) and the son(Male vocalist) is played by Rahman himself.
It was interesting to note that Rahman had taken the center stage with majority of the vocals, or atleast I got the feeling at the end of the song that he sang a greater portion.

Interestingly this is also my 100th post officially, even though I havent posted all of them!
