Kuch Yadaain....

The music in Koi Baat Chale has a particular texture and is expressive of deep, intense emotions rendered by the celebrated singer Jagjit Singh. The ghazals are sprinkled with recitations by Gulzar.Koi Baat Chale is a new experiment in the Urdu poetry. A new poetic way, Triveni a three-lined form, is sung for the first time in this album. The precursor phrase by Gulzar in few songs is what sets in the right pitch and mood for the song.

There is one song before which Gulzar renders his rich reflection,which goes something like this.

"yaad hai woh deen
jaab tumne cigarette ke
deebe pe
ek sketch banaya tha
aakar deekho usme
phool aa gaye hain
"

translates to

"remember those days
when you drew a sketch
on the cover of
the cigarette pack.
come and see
the plant has
blossomed
"

Keep reading and remain connected.
