Ek akela is shahar mein
Raat mein, yaa dopahar mein
Aabodana dhoondta hai, aashiyana dhoondta hai.
Fair enough, but what is
aabodana? Sounds somewhat similar in nature to
aashiyana, but what in Sachin's name is the thing? This was one of the questions that had haunted, traumatised, ripped apart (okay, I suppose I'm overdoing things here a bit) my innocent (honestly) adolescence as I trudged through the 1990s effortlessly and aimlessly.
Then came the internet, and now I know. And I also know
why he was looking for it. And I also know why the solo version of the song haunted me more.
Thanks Gulzarji. Only you could've made sense out of a word that rhymes with
sabudana.
ha ha ha...LOL :D
