Dil Hi To Hai- Live your life to the fullest

You can paint your sky in any colour you want. Always follow your dreams. There's no need to change the colour of your sky for anyone. Ever. Everyone has their own sky.

In this scene from the movie, Aisha's elder brother Ishan is scolded by his teacher for painting the sky pink. He narrated this incidence to his mother Aditi and she explains to him that we have the freedom to decide the colour of our sky. After all, we all paint the sky of our life with our aspirations, stories, emotions and desires. Don't let anybody change the colour of your sky.

Dil hi to hai- Beautifully written by Gulzaar Sahab and sung by Arijit Singh is a subtle reminder to us that sometimes life may soothe us other time life may scare us but you should always keep the lamp of hope burning. There are moments where you live life to the fullest. You realize that life is the most wondrous thing. You should keep those moments alive in your heart.

The song begins with a scene where Aditi is riding a motorbike along with Nilesh on the streets of Chandni Chowk and pretending to be his friend. So that they don't get caught. Breaking all the stereotypes of society and listening to her heart.

ये गलियां, ये कूचे
उमीद से लंबे, यक़ीन से ऊँचे
ये कूचे, कुरपेंच है
दिलचस्प भी हैं रास्ते ये दिल के

.

These alleys and these lanes are longer than my hope and deeper than my faith. These lanes are winding but should I be afraid? or should I keep riding? the paths of my heart are intriguing. Should I listen to my mind? or should I listen to my heart?

 

शर्तें लगाता है हर बार क्यूँ दिल
जज़्बे जगता है, और रुलाता है क्यूँ
यार तू दिल..

.

Heart, why do you impose conditions every time? why do you stir feelings every time? why do you make me cry every time? is it because you are teaching me how to live? or to make me realise about the good things I wasn't paying attention to? Are you trying to make me tough?

हल्का हल्का ख़ौफ़ भी है
ये सीढ़ियाँ पुरानी, और अकेली मैं
ख़ौफ़ किसका, मैं जो हूँ ना
है दिल नये पुरानी सी हवेली में

.

Aditi confess I feel a little apprehension. As I am making my way through this old house alone. I'm scared. I'm climbing the old ladder alone what would gonna happen if I fall? if I get hurt?

To which Nilesh replies There is nothing to fear about. I'm right there for you. We would climb the ladder together. We won't let each other to fall. Time may be hard sometimes but we won't give up on each other. 

हर छत पे चढ़के पतंग उड़ाके राज़ी

ना पूछो ये दिल है मुंशी, मजिस्ट्रेट, क़ाज़ी

.

My heart wants to fly a kite from every terrace. My heart wants to soar in the sky. My heart wants to be fearless. There are so many things my heart wants to do without getting judged. My heart wants to be happy.

दिल ही तो है (दिल दिल है)
दिल ही तो है (दिल दिल है)

.

We all have a limited time here on this earth, and none of us really know exactly when that time will come to an end. Stop worrying about how bad things may end. Stop stressing over the small stuff, and holding onto anger or grudges, or carrying around past regrets, or worrying about things we can’t change.

 Learn to live your life to the fullest. Don't ever stop making memories with people. Listen to your own feelings, and follow your own guidance. Live life the way you want. Be happy and feel alive. The heart is just a pumping machine so stop worrying about it and make your dreams rise above the sun, make your heart beat for the dreams you wanna live.

 

Tomorrow is never promised, so love and appreciate the people who are in your life.
