An Old Song for a Rainy Night

Standard

It’s thundering outdoors, which makes it a perfect evening to listen to one of those songs that you feel that you have always sheltered, unexpressed, in your heart:

This song, introduced in 1963, is from the classic Hindi film “Humrahi.”

Flowers bloom upon each path you walk as you smile

Where you stop for a breath becomes a place of intoxication

The cool, gentle breeze touches you

and carries your fragrance with it

Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
