In this state of lockdown that our country is suffering from, people have indeed started to lose patience since all their lives have been on hold, let alone the offices and shops. This situation requires people to remain calm and stay safe, but now that it has extended to nearly two months of lockdown, it is difficult for everybody to stay patient. 

Understanding the distress people are going through, the government doesn’t back down in providing some entertainment to keep them engaged. Similarly, how they started broadcasting Mahabharat and Ramayan on Doordarshan, the people have also taken the initiative to bring entertainment into the lives of people.

Apni Dhun, a successful channel on youtube, has released a music video titled ‘Sayyam Rakh’ where they request people to have patience since everything that is transpiring is for their own good.

It is a very beautiful and encouraging song that has been released with incredible lyrics along with a very catchy tune in order to influence people to remain calm and stay safe in regard to protect themselves and others as well.

This video by Apni Dhun sets out a beautiful tone with a melodic voice that is sung and composed by Payal Dev, lyrics of Sayyam Rakh is generated by Kunal Vermaa, and the beautiful and aesthetic sand art in the video done by Rahul Arya.

With increasing awareness regarding feminism, it is important to raise awareness regarding the basic ideology that fuels discrimination between men and women. It is important to address the root causes which lead to female exploitation and to trace back its beginnings, we need to question one’s grooming as a child, starting primarily from the house. Aisi Hun, by Sejal Kumar, is an informational as well as an inspiring song which sheds light on the same.

In her first ever original song, Sejal tells the tale of an ordinary Indian girl being brought up in a middle-class household. The problems highlighted in this video are not individualistic, rather represent the issues faced by the women community as a whole. Through the journey of this girl, it caters to trivial day to day occurrences like hiding sanitary pads in presence of a male member of the family, parents shying away from providing their kids basic sex education, imposing clothe restrictions and male interactions. At the same time, it also deals with how ignorant and reckless men are when it comes to dealing with unwanted pregnancies. The way they abandon women in times of need and fail to take responsibility for something they equally partook in highlights the faultiness in their upbringing. Matters catering to feminism can not just be solved by women alone. Equal participation of men is of vital importance and so is parental support in such cases.

It is the parents who can inculcate in their boys the basic ideology of respecting women and redefine what “being a man” means. At the same time, they should raise their girls to be strong and confident, and at the same time infuse in them equality and the will to fight for their rights. Aisi hu is a part of Creators for Change, a global movement for girls’ education with Michelle Obama.

More often than not, love arrives in your life when you least expect it. Love blinds all rationality and one can feel it for person even when he/she knows that it’ll never belong to them. And sometimes, love requires us to let go.  Darshan Raval’s Asal mein is a song about the sad realisation that love is not always reciprocated, that pain is a part of love and it can be cherished by being happy in the other person’s happiness.

Sung by Darshan Raval and written by Gurpreet Saini and Gautum G Sharma, the song is a striking portrayal of the inherent sadness that love carries. The lyrics are heart-touching and centre around the painful acceptance of the fact that love does not always belong to you, “Asal mein tum nahi ho mera.” The sombre melodies add to the melancholy tone of the artist, producing a touching yet enjoyable music. Elements of emotional longing and heartbreak are evident in the song, the song overall is pleasing to the listener’s ears. Packed with intense emotions, click below to enjoy this beautiful song.
