Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Today I'm going to present the farewell titles to all the students of our class as the monitor! said Rahul.

All the students were excited. And the list began.
Karan the singer
Monali the makeup queen
Aman the shy one
Rohan everyone's friend ....etc
Suman aka Sumo the fat bully

Suman was not expecting this. She could not meet anyone's eyes as everyone laughed. She ran away. She was sitting in the library as she knew no one would be there.

Shravan had skipped going to class today as it was their last day at school and teachers gave them rest today. He heard someone talking about titles to students. Was that Sumo's name? What title she got? Most popular girl? She was expecting that. But he heard something else.

Suman was looking at the bookshelves blankly. When a earphone was suddenly being plugged in her left ear. She looked at him. His eyes asked her to relax. No words said. She listened to the song.

Madhubala Se Bhi Aala Dikhti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To
Ho Madhubala Se Bhi Aala Dikhti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To

Sab Kahe Are-Are, Are-Are
Pagla Gaya Hai Tu
Samajh Se Hai Pare, Pare, Pare
Ye Tera Jadoo-Jadoo

Zohra Jabee Se Bhi Hasee Lagti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To
Ho Madhubala Se Bhi Aala Lagti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To

O Mattha Teku Ya Main Chal Doon Nange Paon Kahi
Aisi Kismat Har Kisi Ke Hisse Aati Nahi
Nazar Utaru Yaa Main Kar Doon Isko Qaid Kahin
Aisi Ulfat Har Kisi Ke Haq Mein Aati Nahi

Sab Kahe Are-Are, Are-Are
Pagla Gaya Hai Tu
Samajh Se Hai Pare, Pare, Pare
Ye Tera Jadoo-Jadoo
Tum Aafreen Se Behtreen Dikhti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To

Ho Madhubala Se Bhi Aala Dikhti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To

Mmm-Mmm, Mmm-Hmm
Tumko Dekhu To
Aha, Aha, Aha Dekhu To
Meri Nazar Se Tumko Dekhu To.

"Sumo, what are you doing?" asked Shravan

"Just relaxing!"

"Kya sun rahi ho?"

"Madhubala!"

They both smiled remembering that school day.

"We never talked about it."

"We never needed to."

"This song was enough."

"What you like about it?"

"It gives me the feeling that I may be whatever in the eyes of the world but there always will be at least one person who will look at me as their Madhubala."

"Every used to make fun of me for my nerd look, harry Potter glasses, lean body, and many other things I would just listen to it. And it gave me reassurance."

"When you made me listen to it, I found that one person who's Madhubala I am."

"Acha!"

Madhubala Se Bhi Aala Dikhti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To
Ho Madhubala Se Bhi Aala Dikhti Ho
Meri Nazar Se Tum Ko Dekhu To

"These lines told me in your eyes I'm just perfect. "

Sab Kahe Are-Are, Are-Are
Pagla Gaya Hai Tu
Samajh Se Hai Pare, Pare, Pare
Ye Tera Jadoo-Jadoo

And these lines are my favorite because they tell me, its all your magic that is reassuring me in my own shoes. And it is beyond understanding of the world.

And the composition is just so soft. It is calming. I had never heard of the lyricist Ozil Dalal but the is amazing.

And Amit Trivedi's voice is tremendously soothing in here.

Shravan, you heard Neeti Mohan's version of the song?

I did but I'm sorry I didn't like it.

Well I think she made it her own song but the calm of the song was missing in her version.

So girlfriend are we going to sit here all day discussing the song?

"Arey nahi! I'm going to get ready."

"Not needed. I like my Madhubala in my oversized t shirts better especially for late night icecream date."

"Hahahaha!"

Tell me your song of the day or any recommendation for me.

Love
Zindagi
