"dekha hai aise hi, kisi ko aise hi
apne hi dil mein basaye kuch irade hain
dil ke kisi kone bhi kuchh aise hi baaten hain
inko liye jab hum chale nazare bhi humse mile.
o.. dekha hai aise hi, kisi ko aise bhi
haste hasate sab ko manaake hum jaayenge
barson ki doori ko hum sab saath mitayenge
pyaar rahe unke rahe jo dhoonde woh unko mile o... "

Born as Maqsood Mehmood Ali, lucky ali is what i call India ka Bryan Adams. or at least he is so to me.He is the son ( eighth one) of the famous indian comedian Mehmood ( recall : padosan - yek chatur naar!) . Married twice, living currently in Auckland, and having wandered from carpet washing to breeding horses to singing to acting , he is the mystery man of Indi-pop.
Starting his career at an age of 13 ( when he first started to strum the Guitar) he has come a Long way and has many songs to his credit. His song 'Oh Sanam' stayed on top of the Indipop charts for 60 whole weeks.
blaaah blaah bllaaaaah! Nope, i am not trying to educate you about lucky ali or anything but just that i wanted you to know that THIS is just some stuff about a superb singer..
Now coming to the point. Last saturday, at around 3 in the afternoon i had this sudden urge to check out Saarang's official website to see who was performing this year .. and a few clicks later had me screaming up and down with joy on the table and kissing the monitor.(my friend thought it was for some wierd reason) lol.. hmmm... so LUCKY ALI was coming to town and believe me thats like enough a reason for me to bring the world upside down :) same was the reaction when Bryan Adams came to Banglore two years back ( feb 6th )!!
Why Lucky ali and why Bryan adams you may ask! to you they might seem like raspy guys trying to talk sappy stuff which is not so practical or what ever blah! But for me and a few others that i know.. oh what the hell! for Nitin and Me, these two guys are like hmm i dunno , something like friend-cum- preachers types... its like I grew up on lucky ali and Bryan adams' words and songs..
To me, it is like this . Each song of Lucky's speaks a million words. it comforts me and cajoles me and makes me smile at life. Each song! if one song tells u about life and constantly having to move on (kitni hasi hai yeh zindagi) then there is the other which is about how u make others smile and just be a jester to everyone (nahi rakhtha dil mein kuch) .. this just goes on...
Lucky ali is a reminder of those years of my life where it was all simple and young and naive. He is a reminder of days, of skinned knees and hearts. A reminder of my 14th birthday when i got asked out. A reminder of times that hurt and lesson that he taught. A reminder of a purer,whiter life looooong back :)
Lucky to me is
A travller
A wanderer
A preacher
A friend far apart
A misunderstood romantic
A mirror
A lover
An explorer
A vast ocean of stories
A dreamer
A charmer
A guy misunderstood
A guy gone wrong
A God
A person who reminds me of me !
hmmmm...
