💽 📻Dhurandhar X Jagjit Singh 📻 💽
A/N - This was the most random and impulsive ideas I've ever had.
My chachu is a big Jagjit Singh fan and when he used to live with us, he would play his ghazals everyday. So I've grown up with the melancholy of JS's ghazals. Or maybe the melancholy was always within me, passed down my mother and chachu. I've realised I also have my Papa's curiosity and my dadi's love for literature. She would suddenly start remembering poems from when she was in school and recite them to us. She's only studied till 4th standard but is one of the smartest women I know.
I remember once my dad and I were watching a walkthrough of London city. And I remember seeing the busy streets and the sheer number of people, and thinking, "Where are all these people even going?" And that's exactly what my dad said the next minute.
Anyway, I digress. My Spotify suddenly suggested me this song and as I was listening these particular lines, it clicked. I could see how it would apply to Jassi.
Now, to be very honest. I'm more of a Hamzair fan but this idea just clicked and I HAD to do something about it.
Jassi's entire life was a pile of unfair, right from the start. He did not deserve that. Neither did his family. The scariest thought is, that the Rangis are just like us. They were happy like us, living their life like us.
And then when he finally finds something good, even in the snake pit of a place, it's stolen away from him. Maybe he didn't love her from the start or maybe he never did but my fanfiction loving heart wants to believe that her company and her existence granted him some relief from the survivors guilt Jassi harboured. He was never Jassi with her, but Hamza. But I still believe she was unknowingly healing something she didn't break.
So this is dedicated to my babies, Hamza and Yalina, who deserved the world. But the world didn't deserve them. A world that is hellbent on crushing affection, softness, hope, love doesn't deserve a gem like them.
I'm dedicating this for my Tiramisu @yaadonmein this is for you cutieee
Tagging some Hamlina people -> I hope y'all like it
