Shakespeare was writing with his audience in mind, yet still his words are magical, brimming with as much poetry as with bawdy innuendos, and appealing to a variety of readings and emotions. But each sonnet, as each song, has its own identity.

Much like slow Bollywood songs can seem repetitive, several of his sonnets have similar themes and motifs, talking as they are about love, time, decay, and procreation.

If oneвЂ™s only contention is that popular equals lowbrow or bad quality, IвЂ™d like to point out how in his day, even William Shakespeare, a free pass of elitist snobbishness for many today, was also considered вЂfor the masses.вЂ™ For a long time, he remained popular entertainment, the theatre sitting alongside other entertainments like bear-baiting, cockfighting, and more. If today, Bollywood music is looked down upon, itвЂ™s a reflection of how weвЂ™re not focusing on being good listeners, since intensity and poetry can both be found in droves in a lot of todayвЂ™s popular music. ThereвЂ™s a sense of familiarity and intimacy when listening to music one understands so closely and relates to culturally. This is often during the times I manage to squeeze in an hour-long walk, where my mind can stretch and relax for a bit. Once IвЂ™ve made sense of the song, I add it to a private Spotify playlist, which I turn to whenever IвЂ™m looking to unwind. I hear the words the way a singer understands and sings them, adding another layer of meaning. While the lyrics are multifaceted and poetic, the music is a great accompaniment, adding simplicity to some songs and intensity to others, taking the words in a certain direction, and giving it a layer of meaning.

From ' Tera Rastaa Chodoon Na' (Chennai Express),В thereвЂ™s the intense promise, ' Sar ye bhale phoot gaya / Jism mera toot gaya / Khud se kiya waada todoon naa / Baandhun sehra, kafan odhoon naa.'В And in 'Nazm Nazm,'В ' Mere dil ke lifaafe mein / Tera khat hai janiya / Tera khat hai janiya / Nacheez ne kaise paa li / Kismat yeh janiya veвЂ™ refers not only to the letters the characters exchange in the movie but also makes sense as a metaphor for her love, and words, being in his heart. Then thereвЂ™s the indignant вЂ Toota hai toh juda hai kyun / Meri taraf tu muda hai kyun / Haq nahi tu yeh kahe ki yaar ab hum na raheвЂ™ from 'Tera Yaar Hoon Main' ( Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety). So many lines pop out, and stand apart as favourites, like вЂ Raas hai raat mein / Teri har baat mein / Bol main kya karu / Aise haalaat meinвЂ™ from the atmospheric ' Ang Laga De' ( Goliyon Ki Ras-Leela: Ram Leela). I often sit down with a song on loop on my laptop, looking up the meaning, and going through each word and line. Several of these song lyrics are also cute and cheeky, or intense and brooding, bringing with them different moods and tones. These songs remind me of the grandness of love as an emotion, how it encourages people to cross boundaries and come together, fight oppression, unite, and find an ocean of strength in themselves to tackle all that love brings with it. In its own way, each song explores love, and finds its own words to make sense of it. The lyrics are like short bursts of feeling, exploring all the grand emotions we feel, like love, joy, and pain, and mimicking the promises we make and break.

It started with looking up translations of songs heavy in languages other than Hindi, like ' Jugni' (Cocktail), ' Ambarsariya' ( Fukrey), 'Din Shagna Da' ( Phillauri), and ' Mera Ranjha' ( Queen).В Then thereвЂ™re also songs that require multiple listens to really grasp whatвЂ™s being alluded to, like ' Aaj Din Chadheya' ( Love Aaj Kal), 'Kun Faya Kun'В ( Rockstar),В ' Laal Ishq' ( Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela), and ' Channa Mereya' (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil).В ThereвЂ™re also lighter but meaningful songs like ' Jashn-e-Bahaaraa' ( Jodhaa Akbar),В ' Samjhawan' ( Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania), ' Humsafar' (Badrinath Ki Dulhania), ' Nazm Nazm' ( Bareilly Ki Barfi), and most recently ' Ranjha' ( Shershaah). So it wasnвЂ™t long before I started extending the same treatment to several slow, often romantic, Bollywood songs. I pore over these texts, marvelling at the perfect choice of words and startling metaphors that stick with a reader. From populars like Keats and Kabir to younger poets like Sarah Kay and Urvashi Bahuguna, I enjoy immersing myself in a world of verses. Taking a piece of writing that requires dissecting, looking up words and phrases, and finding layers of meaning in those words is an immensely enjoyable experience for me.
