Tsamina mina eh eh.. waka waka eh eh.. this song must have reached millions worldwide. Brilliantly made and beautifully performed by Shakira, the song certainly evades ones soul off. Equally competent is the theme song of fifa-by k'naan.
I still remember the first time I listened to them. When I did, they were no special. But somehow, probably while shoulder sniffing over one of my friends, I got to watch the video of this song-Waka Waka. 'atta video, boy! The spirit and the energy were mind blowing, anyway, but the thing that moved me the most was the way life was picturized. You see all the Africans dancing around with such envi-able glee, least bothered about every other damn thing. Do you think you could ever do that in your life? forget everything, just love life and enjoy?
Its not all that pleasing to accept but the fact is, you cant. Just relax for a while, and think what you are making of your life. Remember, its your only life. Is it going to be a mere struggle for success or is it going to be a 'struggle' to keep yourself happy at the end of the day? Lets date back to the B.C. period, oh yes, they did not 'enjoy' any of these lucrative equipment but they lived life for living it. These days, the trend has gotten onto the other end of the rod. You live life to be a someone in this society, to have some status in this society, else it looks like there is no meaning to life. What if you are not that someone? what if you are a no-one? If as long as you live, you live happily, mind you!,your everything will be in place. So will the world be in its own. Its this strife to succeed, the ego when you can not see someone becoming the someone you wanted to be, the jealousy that crops up consequently that are ruining this world. Being a someone isnt wrong but that shouldnt be at such huge an opportunity cost as that of your happiness. Live life to love it! I wish I could get back to the good old times when all was well...
Might sound like emotional bullshit, but there were a lot of times, when in my own life, I underwent the same and it took a lot of time to realize that its time to move on, Just move on... Whether you live in a metropolitan city or over a countryside, it doesnt matter, all that matters is whether there were times in your life, where you just danced on and on like those gleeful ones in the video...
Just move on,
Shampooo..
