When this song was first audio released in 1998, i did something i swore i would never do.. i recorded it over and over for 120mins and listened to it over and over like someone obsessed. I like a song when i like the tune first and for some unexplained reason i found the tune and beat mesmerising.
When the movie was released i was very upset for a long time that it was done in a rather silly comical way that i felt did not live up to the song. (also i felt the hero Prasanth paled miserably next to Aishwarya Rai!) Well... i got over the disappointment long time ago.. but hearing the song today, the lyrics strike me.. rather esoteric theme about the duality of life. Something like this...
"Everything you see before your eyes..
belongs not to the eyes themselves,
Duality of life exist everywhere..
If you separate.. it be unjust.. as it will cease to exist..
For duality is one
Tho there is nightime and daytime.. the day is still one
Tho the legs are two.. the journey is still one
When two hearts love.. love is still one
Tho the body and soul are born as twins..
they never live apart
Tho the eyes are born as twins..
when one sight gives away, the other sight will never be the same
Tho in one sleep.. the dreams may be two
Tho in one person's breathe.. two people's destiny may live
It's only when we differentiate . we start to separate"
