Parwaaz....

parwaaz.... ok I know what are you thinking about...if at all you are a Jagjit singh fan or atleast you know a bit about him...you must have started thinking about his beautiful album.....that has these awesome and unique Gazals. But give all those musical thoughts a break now as this blog of mine has nothing to do with jagjit singh or his music. The only thing common in this blog and him is the word Parwaaz. Ever given a thought, what does this word mean.....even I never thought about it, but it was only when I was talking with my friend that i came across this word. This is a urdu word that has a very beautiful meaning. And here firstly i would like to thank my friend and his knowledge of urdu language to introduce me to this word. It means a bird's first flight. This is the time when the innocent bird is introduced to the world. All this while the bird that was under its parent's protection get its own identity and true to the phrase become a 'free bird'
Accordingly, even i think that each individual passes through the same moment. It can be any moment in one's life and different for each individual. The only thing that is universal is when a person get his/hers own recognition. Like when an individual recognises itself, when he thinks that i can ALONE be a part of this huge world, when one is proud of himslef, it's when one get his own identity. It may happen anytime, anywhere and differ from person to person. A musician may come across this feeling when his music touches the audiences' heart, when a true lover hears those magical three words from the person he loves the most, A beggar would realise this when he does just a mere work and satisfies his hunger by his own money and not by the begged money. Thousand people thousand situations. The only thing necessary, is one has to be satisfied, Pure and truthful. These three words help us to bring this moment of Parwaaz in our life or if you believe......it leads us to the path of 'Sufism'
