Music Therapy with Miss Moon

" Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going."
~ Sam Levenson

" Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head."
~ Meryl Streep

“ Life is either a daring adventure, or it is nothing.”
~ Helen Keller

I can honestly say that I thought I would be someplace different by now. When the year started, I was picking up the pieces of my life after walking away from an relationship and job that failed to fulfill me. I didn't think that July would come and I'd still be in the same place. And I admit, that I was feeling a bit bummed out about it.

I thought about it for a bit, and started to recognize something. I discovered something about myself. I am NOT where I was at the beginning of the year. Sure, I'm still unemployed and single. But I am so much happier than I've been in years. I'm a woman on a mission, and nothing can be more fulfilling than that!! The ideal job and a passionate romance will both come in its own time, but for now... I will put my focus and attention on keeping the joy and motivation going!!

Sir, please stop being so gorgeous.... Seriously, it's just plain mean!!! ::swoons::

I've been in a bit of a Bollywood mood lately, and got a tremendous boost from watching the heartwarming and inspiring film, "Chak! de India" (It's streaming on Netflix, check it out!). So today's bit of music therapy is the title song from the film. I've also included the lyrics in Hindi and English, because again, I'm fancy like that! LOL

I hope that it will make you feel like doing a Rocky training montage in your mind!!!



Kuch kariye kuch kariye nas nas meri khaule, hoy kuch kariye
Do something, with every part of you (every pore in your body), do something
Kuch kariye kuch kariye bas bas bada bole, ab kuch kariye
Do something, enough of all that big talk, now do something
Ho koi toh chal zid padiye, doobe tariye ya mariye (2)
Take a stand, either swim or die
Chak de chake de India (4)
C’mon India!

(Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
this is the time, just do or die)

Koochon mein galiyon mein, raashan ki phaliyon mein
In streets and lanes, in Ration lines
Bailon mein beejon mein, eidon mein teejon mein
In bullocks and seeds, in Eid and festivals
Reton ke daanon mein, filmon ke gaanon mein
In every grain of sand, and film songs
Sadkon ke gaddon mein, paaton.ke addon mein
In street ditches, in gatherings
Hunkara aaj bhar le, das barah baar kar le
Fill everything with a roar/ferver, not once but 10 times
Rehna na yaar peeche, kitna bhi koi kheenche
Don’t lag behind, even if you’re pulled back
Tas Hai Na Mas Hai Ji, Zid Hai Toh Zid Hai Ji
Don’t budge an inch, if you’re called stubborn so be it
Ghisna yunhi, pisna yunhi, pisna yunhi
Keep grinding on that grindstone
Bas kariye!
Just do it!

Ho Koi Toh Chal Zid Phadiye
Doobe Tariye Ya Mariye
Haye Koi Toh Chal Zid Phadiye
Doobe Tariye Ya Mariye
Chak De Ho Chak De India (4)

Nowhere To Run Nowhere To Hide
This Is The Time Just Do Or Die - (2)
Chak De (5)

Ladti Patangon Mein, Bhidti Umangon Mein
In tangled kites, in the joy of crowds
Khelon Ke Melon Mein, Balkhaati Railon Mein
In playgrounds, in winding trains
Gannon Ke Meethe Mein, Khaddar Mein Cheente Mein
In the sweetness of sugarcanes, in rich loam, in crops
Doondo To Mil Jaave/Jaye , Tapta Woh Eenton Mein
If you look hard enough you’ll find the heat needed to harden bricks (to toughen/strengthen you)
Tan Aisa Aaj Nikhre, Aur Kulke Aaj Pighle 
Let your body glow and liquefy completely
Mann Laaye Aisi Holi, Rag Rag Machalke Boli
Fill your heart with celebration so that every part of you rejoices
Tas Hai Na Mas Hai Ji, Zid Hai Toh Zid Hai Ji
Don’t budge an inch, if you’re called stubborn so be it
Ghisna yunhi, pisna yunhi, pisna yunhi
Keep grinding on that grindstone
Bas kariye!
Just do it!

Koi Toh Chal Zid Phadiye
Doobe Tariye Ya Mariye
Haye Koi Toh Chal Zid Phadiye
Doobe Tariye Ya Mariye
Chak De Ho Chak De India (4)
