Dream Comes False







If there is a phrase "Dream Comes True" why not "Dream Comes False" ? All of us dream of something and most of them don't happen. We regularly lose something at some point of time. Do we die for that? We have practiced to live with what we get. Sometimes failures and sorrows give a kind of peacefulness to us.



"What happened to you Karthik? Turned philosophical???"



The song which I am going to discuss made me speak like this.



It is 'Kanavu Kaanum Vaazhkai' from the film 'Neengal Kaettavai'





Those were days when I started claiming myself as a die-hard Ilayaraja fan and if some one asked me "What is your favourite song?” my reply will be this song. I would hear it repeatedly for days together.


Ilayaraja's music, Yesudas voice, Balumahendra's picturisation and brilliant lyrics together have made this song a master-piece.



Is there any other piece like the second interlude of this song which can console minds with sorrow? This is why Ilayaraja’s music is part of us.



I am a kind of listener who don’t pay much attention to lyrics. But there are few songs which force me hear the lyrics. This is one such song.



Some of the lines which I admire are



துடுப்பு கூட பாரம் என்று
கரையை தேடும் ஓடங்கள்



உடம்பு என்பது உண்மையில் என்ன?
கனவுகள் வாங்கும் பை தானே



பேதை மனிதனே கடமையை இன்றே
செய்வதில் தானே ஆனந்தம்



Don’t worry if Dream Don’t Come True.
We have Ilayaraja’s music to console us.

WHEN I THINK OF DREAMS :

"dream is the third thing which remains to b fascinating after birth and death.

because these r the three things which r athma related .

while u die, ur athma leaves the body, after which u wont realise,i.e body wont realise any pain. like wise, when u dream,even when u hit by train u wont feel the pain in d dream world.

y elder people or doctors doesn advise for sudden wake up or frightening wake up ?

It might b athma while we dream, flying outside our body across d universe ,time etc while the body is in rest.

while we wake up, again athma enters(might b)..so sudden wake up may cos problems.

theories on dreams r always intersting n ther r many such..

n about d song..no comments..just a brand of raja is enough

@Krishnasami

Yeah man, it is a typographical error. Thanks for bringing it up.

Probably, readers would have noticed but taken it lightly.
