You know the type of friendship songs you think of when a friend breaks friendship with you for no real reason. Sometimes songs can have a healing effect and make things better.
At a time when Bollywood had modest clothes, deep lyrics and a message.
Thanks for getting me addicted to Pakistani dramas and then deciding not to be with friends with me. Bahut acha kiya aap ne. Duniya walon ke liye kya misal hai dosti ka. All because someone said you shouldn’t be friends with someone because of things they can’t control.
This can turn into a sad song when the friendship you have lost is that of a Pakistani friend and you are Indian.
Ab kabhi nahi mil paongi usse uske desh mein
I agree he’s got some real heart tugging friendship songs. especially main to raaste se ja raha tha and jab dil na lage dil daar…with the lines..agar yaad sataye tumhe yaar meri gali aa jana.
Past few weeks my close Pakistani friend of 9 years has distanced herself from me because she has made new conservative friends…and also even possibly a conservative rishta. Her new circle of friends doesn’t believe people who are from different background like mine ie. Indian should be close friends with her. She has not replied to my Eid message from last week. She got me interested in Pakistani dramas and also got my parents interested. I used to ask her about words i didn’t understand, we watched Rahat’s concert together and also a bollywood srk concert as well. We watch the big India vs Pakistan games together and when we don’t we’re always the first to congratulate the other when our team wins. No world events, politics or anything came between us the past 9 years but then this event did. I never thought this would happen and only few months ago she joked about me telling her if i found an Asher (from humsafar) type guy for her and i told her i was on GS and i’d post on Zaroorat e rishta. She said she’d look out for any Indian guys for me. Phir yeh sab hua.
With the loss of her friendship i feel a void in my friendship circle which i don’t know if i can ever fill again. Neither i can talk about this to my friends or parents because i don’t want them to have a bad image of her. She’s a good girl but she’s just been influenced away from me. Even if she does not consider me her friend i still think of her welfare and i want her to be happy and achieve the goals of her life.
When i feel a void after turning to prayers etc i find it helps to listen to bollywood songs or other desi songs which reflect my mood. In this case it’s a sad mood.
