A friend said she wanted to ask me not to watch Talaash, because she thought I might find the movie disturbing. The fact is, the movie was of interest only because some reviews mentioned Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat and his wife Roshni coming to terms with the sudden death of their child.
And I am glad I watched it.
Spoiler Alert.
I would like to believe these lyrics (and what they mean in the movie), and even if believing is not easy, or possible; the remotest possibility is more than not having even that little, remote hope…
Lyrics, translated in English.
Laakh duniya kahe, tum nahi ho
Tum yahin ho, tum yahin hoHow much ever does the world say, you’re not there… [that you don't exist]
you’re here..you’re here only…
Meri har soch mein, meri har baat mein
Mere ehsaas mein, mere jazbaat mein
Tum hi tum ho
Tum har kahin hoIn every thought of mine, in my every talk,
in my feelings, in my emotions,
only you’re there…
you’re everywhere…Laakh duniya kahe, tum nahin ho
Tum yaheen ho, tum yaheen hoTumne chhoda hai kab saath mera
Thaame ho aaj bhi haath mera
Koi manzil koi rehguzar ho
Aaj bhi tum mere humsafar ho
Jaaun chaahe jahaan tum waheen hoWhen have you left me alone, (you never have)
you are holding my hand even today..
be it any destination, any path,
you’re my companion even today..
wherever I go, you’re there…Laakh duniya kahe tum nahi ho
Tum yaheen ho, tum yaheen ho..Khushboo banke hawaaon mein tum ho
Rang banke fizaaon mein tum ho
Koi gaaye koi saans goonje
Sab sureeli sadaaon mein tum ho
Tum ko har roop mein dil hai pehchanta
Log hain bekhabar par hai dil jaanta
Tu mere paas ho, dilnasheen hoYou’re there in the wind as a fragrance,
you’re in the seasons as colors,
whoever sings, or whatever breath echoes -
you’re there in all the musical calls..
the heart recognizes you in every form,
people are ignorant, but my heart knows..
you’re with me, close to my heart..Tum yahin ho, tum yahin ho…
[From here: Lakh Duniya Kahe Tum Nahi ho Tum Yahin ho Lyrics Translation]
The movie shows some harsh truths about the prostitutes and the kinds of job that doesnt give them a count in even the census!
Yes. And also how we forgive, tolerate and excuse those without whom there would be no prostitution.
((Hugs)) IHM…
Touching lyrics….
Must have been a relief (and ?pain) for u t hear and feel those lyrics IHM….
Comforting, yes. Painful – no, why did you think it could be painful?
It was heartbreaking to hear that dialogue Kareena says
“Jinki ginti hi nahi hoti unke bare mein kya case darj hoga sahab?”
Haven’t watched the movie, but I did watch my brother and SIL go through the loss of a three-year old daughter, and I think it’s really impossible for someone who hasn’t gone through that to understand the pain involved. I cannot even imagine what it’s like.
When something like that happens, I don’t think you ever really accept it. There’s no point at which you’re just okay with it. The most you can do is resign yourself, resign to the fact that some calls are not yours to take, and that the best tribute to your loved ones is to shed the bitterness and channel it into something positive.
I wish one of those techies invented some way to transmit a hug across the internet. I’d pay a lot of money for getting to use such a device in posts like these.
Those lyrics are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Havent seen the movie yet… Loved what you wrote there : “the remotest possibility is more than not having even that little, remote hope…”
I just got back form seeing the movie, IHM and I thought of you. Hugs
Hug.
The movie didn’t make me cry but this post did.
I guess no person is really dead as long as their memories are with us. And I strongly believe in this. (Although, the fact is earth is just a temporary transitional home for all of us to spend time).
I watched the movie on Sunday, and you were constantly in my thoughts then. Hugs.
Hugs IHM
You have no idea, how every single day you inspire me to be a better mom to my kids. hugs and love you loads
Went to watch this movie last Saturday at a local theatre here in Fremont.
Returned home disappointed!
No, it was not the movie that disappointed me.
I didn’t get a ticket!
Housefull!
Happens rarely here.
Will try again later.
Regards
GV
Hugs, IHM.
I would like to say these lines to my mother:
Tum Yahin Ho Tum Yahin Ho
Tum Har kaheen ho
Life is not the same after you lose a loved one. It took me many months to accept that the person who gave birth to me, who raised me and who was there whenever I needed to share joy, sorrow or any other feeling is not around. But she appears in my dreams every night and I wake up smiling the next morning.
Tum Yahin ho Tum Yahin ho, Amma.
It is tough to lose a loved one, especially if it is your child. Be strong and hang in there IHM. Sending good thoughts and hugs your way♥
Beautiful lyrics. Hugs IHM.
Touching song and hugs to you
Sending you lots of Hugs , IHM..
You are a very brave and inspiring woman IHM. May you always be blessed with this strength to see the sunny side and accept the not-so-sunny side in your stride. From you, many like me will draw the strength. Hugs.
Hugs IHM. More strength to you.
IHM,
There is a beautiful movie called Rabbit Hole which had this very touching dialogue – “I don’t know… the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and… carry around like a brick in your pocket. And you… you even forget it, for a while. But then you reach in for whatever reason and – there it is. Oh right, that.”
No one can even begin to understand the emotion unless you have carried that brick. More strength to you.
Watched and loved that movie,
Why I liked ‘Rabbit Hole’.

Just watched the movie. Quite touching. Big hug to you, also from my little daughter.
Sorry for some reason I did not realize things! please take care! Me such a fool to not know for whom this post was dedicated! <3
Hey, it’s fine Rinzu, I too liked the movie for showing the reality of the lives of sex workers.
A big hug to you
These words are true. They are with us. Watching us. Holding our hands. Talking to our hearts. Melting in our souls. They are with us everywhere…
I would like to believe my mummy watches over me….
Ohh IHM .. I want to hug you so hard right now .. I so enjoy the header pics of Tejaswee and sometimes just refresh the blog so that I can see new ones
And I always think about her love for vibrant rich bright colours 
Hugs. My thoughts were with you too while I was watching the movie. I know it was supposed to be a murder mystery but this part of the story was what really resonated with me.
saw the movie with a friend a few weeks back. Really liked it. I could understand what the parents were going thru and somehow it gave me strength and I told myself that if they can bear it so can I (never mind it is make believe and a movie!).
I learnt about you and Tejaswee from NDTV just a few weeks back. Sandeep would have been 24yrs on 1st feb. Though the feeling of ending my life still comes to my mind from time to time but I’m trying my best to live a full(?) life without him. It’s hard but not impossible I think. And people like you are a huge source of strength. Bless you!
