Every morning when we get up, we think about the dreams we had the night before. We all have dreams. Dreams of success, dreams of failure, dreams of happily-ever-afters and dreams of tragedies. They are an escape from the real world and are very necessary to keep us sane in this fast-moving world. Khwabon ke parindey is a song exactly like a dream, its like an escape from the world.

We’re all always in hurry, to complete some work, to reach somewhere, to be with someone or what now. Rarely do we ever sit back doing just nothing. Being away from all the burdens, expectations and stress in life, sometimes we just need a break from the world and be in isolation to attain inner peace and let ourselves free.

“Hawa mein beh rahi hai zindagi, Yeh hum se keh rahi hai zindagi, Oho ab toh, Jo bhi ho so ho”. These lines just indicate that sometimes its better to let things happen as they happen. We should simoly sit back and see what life has for us in it. We need to trust our stars for once. In the movie, Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) let himself loose for once and the stars aligned for him in a way that his ladylove Laila (Katrina Kaif) herself came to him to bid him a goodbye.

This is when he felt truly happy from within and satisfied with his life. Everything seemed beautiful and the world seemed peaceful. He fell in love with life. One of the most soulful songs, it reminds us to take a break and let things happen on their own. Sometimes giving things no thought is the best thought.
